Muscle Therapy That Moves You -
Literally and Emotionally

At Hybrid Health Performance Bakersfield, we believe movement is medicine—and pain is not a life sentence. Our muscle therapy isn’t just about relief; it’s about restoration. It’s about helping you reclaim the strength, mobility, and confidence that pain has stolen.
Whether you're training for Hyrox, chasing PRs in the gym, or simply trying to keep up with your kids, your body deserves to move freely. But when pain lingers—especially in the low back, hips, shoulders, or post-surgical scars—it can feel like your progress is locked behind a wall. That’s where we come in.

We specialize in unlocking that wall.

Using a powerful blend of targeted manual release, loaded compression, localized vibration, cupping and scraping we go beyond surface-level tension to address the root causes of dysfunction. Our protocols are designed for athletes and active individuals who’ve “tried everything” and still feel stuck. We treat the complex cases—chronic tightness, nerve entrapment, scar adhesions, and movement compensations—with precision and compassion.

But this isn’t just technical. It’s personal.

We know what it’s like to feel betrayed by your own body. To train hard, eat clean, and still wake up in pain.
That frustration? That grief? We honor it. And we help you transform it.

Every session is a collaboration. We listen deeply, assess thoroughly, and treat intentionally—so you leave not just looser, but lighter. Not just stronger, but more hopeful.

Because healing isn’t passive. It’s active. And at Hybrid Health Performance,
we’re here to help you move through it—with grit, grace, and science-backed care.

Benefits of Muscle Therapy

Discover how our myofascial release therapy can help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

Reduce Pain and Muscle Tension

Whether you want to improve your athletic performance or just get rid of back pain, myofascial release will help minimize any muscle tension you're feeling throughout your body. The techniques used during your session can aid in improving blood circulation. That increases blood flow to your muscles, which can shorten your recovery time and reduce muscle soreness.

Reduce Risk of Injury

With a targeted focus on the areas that need it most, myofascial release can minimize and reduce your predisposition to injuries. Increasing the flexibility of muscle-tendons promotes better performance. As you develop strength and flexibility in your body, you'll be able to withstand more physical stress and you'll rid your body of muscle imbalances.

Improve Posture

Many people spend their days hunched over at a desk, looking at a computer or a phone. That position of rounded shoulders and the head forward can cause poor posture as the muscles become tight. Myofascial release can improve bad posture by elongating the pectoralis, upper trapezius, and hamstring muscles, just to name a few.

TRANSFORM THE WAY YOU FEEL WITH MUSCLE THERAPY

Our therapists use multiple methods to release tightness and restore your muscles, giving you a greater range of motion and reduced risk of injury.

Muscle Therapy Information

What is Muscle Therapy?

Muscle therapy differs from a spa massage in that it is more clinical and intended to address the movement dysfunctions of the muscles of the body and underlying imbalances. In muscle therapy, the ultimate focus is on functional outcomes, meaning that you should notice palpable relief from pain! There is an evidence-based reason why Vice applies one modality over another and most importantly, results must be measurable. Vice and his team will work with you to develop a treatment plan, based on the duration and severity of your pain and will offer special self-care techniques such as stretching, postural changes, ergonomics and gait modifications so you may continue your healing progress even when you’re off the table.

How Does Muscle Therapy Work?

Muscle therapy works to increase in blood and lymph circulation as well as relax and normalize the soft tissue (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments), which releases nerves and deeper connective tissues. Better circulation can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells. As cellular health improves, tissues function more efficiently. More efficient functioning leads to the removal of waste products and may increase the absorption of excess fluids and reduce swelling in soft tissues.

Who Would Benefit from Muscle Therapy?

Regular muscle therapy can be an essential piece of your health and wellness plan, in conjunction with exercise, proper diet, mobility drills, and rest. If you need to relax, improve posture and gait, lower blood pressure or reduce pain and stiffness, then muscle therapy is for you! Here are some other ailments that muscle therapy can help:
