Cherie Braun, our massage therapist, has successfully treated athletes from many different sports. Optilife staff has been on both sides of the treatment equation.  We know how important it is for our patients to get back to training quickly.  Optilife Treatments for sports injuries help improve healing times, prevent re-injury, and lower the chances of permanent damage.

What brought me to Optilife was shoulder pain/discomfort that kept me from lifting weights and training in jiu-jitsu for multiple weeks. After only two treatments with Dr. Danielle I can only breathe a huge sigh of relief. She is clearly very knowledgeable and exceptional at her craft, I would recommend going to see her ten times over.
