So I was rear ended in a car accident and the other party took a while to accept responsibility. I needed to be seen for my upper and lower back pain. I called up Shane from Vegafit Recovery and he got me in ASAP! Did I mention he is mobile? VEGAFIT RECOVERY IS MOBILE! Shane will meet you wherever he is allowed to park! It's great! Being in the medical field I check for the condition of where I am being treated, the Vegafit Van is so clean! It looks like a spa on wheels! It smells nice and is super clean! I went to my session barely able to get in the van and left jumping down out of the van! I laid down stiff and tight with pain. When I got up after the session I moved so quick I almost fell! I got the 1hr session of Rocktape/NormaTec/Cupping. My range of motion was SO much better than before. I gave it a week before I left a review because I wanted to see how long this would last. Still going strong! If you have not tried Vegafit Recovery, I highly suggest you do! Thank you Shane for your help and willingness to share the gift of healing you have been blessed with. You will always and forever have my support.

My first time going to Vegafit Recovery was all I expected it to be and more. I got to experience many techniques Shane offers and he didn’t disappoint. I was very impressed with how he explained everything and is so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. After getting hurt at work over 6 years ago (Back, neck, and shoulders), I have been in non-stop, constant pain, and I have seen countless chiropractors, massage therapists, Physical therapists etc. Shane was able to perform techniques from all of these different types of services, and when I left my appointment I felt so much lighter and relaxed, and not in pain!!! I’m writing my review a few days later and I still feel great. I definitely recommend Vegafit Recovery. Take care of your body cuz you only get one!

Shane was amazing! He was extremely informative and knowledgeable. This was definitely a different experience for me, but I will never look at a “traditional” massage the same again. I went in with an ongoing pain in my shoulder that frequently leaves my arm and hand tingly. After my one session, I felt immediate relief. I’ve never felt relief like this, after one session of anything! I’m definitely going back. Thank you again!

This was my first experience with Vegafit recovery. Shane is very kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. I went in for some back and neck pain and stress and came out feeling relaxed and walking more upright with less muscle tension. This was by far the best therapy I have had compared to other massage therapies. Shane utilized different tools individualized to my specific complaints. It was awesome and I highly recommend!!!

Shane was great to interact with and I really enjoyed the session with him. I was just visiting Redding, so was only able to see him once, but I felt much more relaxed and less pain, even after just one session. I wish I lived closer and I’m sure with a few more I would be feeling even better!

Short review: Excellent and novel approach to achieving tissue release that can cause chronic pain. This is coming from a physiotherapist who has tried A LOT of different treatments from many professionals - would (and already have) return to see Shane. But don't expect a relaxing treatment - if you want to get rid of (chronic) pain, expect that releasing those tissues is going to be unpleasant. Long review: Saw Shane originally for my right rib pain (lats and intercostals) following being hit by a car three weeks before. It hurt to use my right arm and to sneeze/cough, which worried me as I was taking a diving course a few days later. The Pain Free session consists of the TheraGun (as a "warm up", it does go deeper and releases myofascia/scar tissue as well), then the "fascia blaster" (which can be excruciating but is necessary to achieve the release you need) with a magnesium cream applied. You can choose to add essential oils with the fascial treatment for a small cost. Cupping followed this (yes, this hurts as well and exquisitely so when Shane adds in range of motion). If you look at the pics below: the one of my back had some areas that were immediately purple (lateral cups) which indicate longstanding stagnation of blood. Yes, I was tender afterward but that dissipated within a couple days. I was able to do planks and push myself off the ground with minimal pain the next day - which wasn't able to do before. Am I completely pain-free? No, it hurts a bit to swim but it does not surprise me that I have some residual pain considering the extent of my injuries. I otherwise would not have been able to complete my diving course with the pain I had. I went back to see Shane after my course to work on my right leg for some annoying but occasional stabbing pain into my foot - a result of nerve damage from sneezing and having extremely lax SI joints 2 years ago (that's another story, but no longer an issue after PRP to give my SI joints stability). Did the same Pain Free treatment as described before - definitely feel more ROM into my leg even an hour after. Not anywhere near as sore as the other treatment - which you may be able to tell from the less severe bruising post-cupping. I also had the opportunity to try out Shane's Normatec device (compression). Did the TheraGun on my glutes first (ouch, that hurt too!) and then 1/2hr of compression therapy with the hip attachment. A different way to achieve release and definitely felt sore the next day, but was able to stretch my glutes more effectively after that treatment. Overall, I highly recommend Shane's approach to treating chronic pain (I wouldn't recommend for acute injuries, unless doing the Normatec alone as the other treatments would be way too intense). There is reasoning that makes the combination of treatments he uses to be so effective. I absolutely would come back again when I'm on island as I'm sure to find something else that could use Shane's treatment. I will definitely be discussing my experience and the knowledge Shane shared with me with my colleagues and hopefully change the approach physios take to chronic pain.

By far the best recovery session I’ve experienced. Shane goes in-depth about each process, but in an understandable way which was really helpful. He also provided insight as to why I was feeling pain in certain areas, which helped me move forward in relieving pain even when I’m not in a session with VegaFit. Highly recommend, this guy knows his stuff, quality service, couldn’t ask for anything more! For everyone, not just athletes!

I did my 2nd therapy session with Shane today. Worked on my lower back and legs. After my first session on my lower back I felt completely different and able to move around better. My lower back pain is a chronic issue, I have been to physical therapy and a chiropractor that did help however the therapy received from Shane was a different feeling of comfort. We had spoke of working the lower body and Shane definitely showed his knowledge and explained thoroughly about how your body works. I will continue to take advantage of these opportunities to better assist in overall fitness. Much appreciated Shane! You truly are a professional and love what you do. God bless.
