Depending on your experience level, the bare minimum frequency is 2 strength training sessions per week (each muscle group). As you advance, you’ll need more exposure to strength training to keep getting stronger and fitter. 3-4 strength training sessions per week is more ideal for most adults. 5-6 sessions per week is not abnormal for advanced or competitive lifters.

For maintenance, we recommend scheduling a massage or bodywork session every 3-4 weeks. For clients that we are working with on specific dysfunctions such as severe back pain, neck pain, or joint problems, we see them every week or every 2 weeks to make faster progress.

Physical Therapists help people rehabilitate structural injuries and recovery from surgeries. They can help resolve pain, diagnose certain issues, and provide certain types of manual therapies like cupping, scraping, dry needling, etc. At Primal, we help people resolve pain and dysfunction, but we do not assist with structural injuries or immediate post-surgical work. Physical Therapy is necessary to complete first after surgery or structural damage such as ACL tears, broken bones, etc.

Unfortunately we cannot currently take insurance, but we can accept HSA cards for massage therapy.

We take a holistic approach that combines movement coaching, nervous system regulation, hands-on bodywork (if local), and education. We don’t treat you like a collection of symptoms - we help you rebuild safety, trust, and confidence in your body so you can be strong and free.

Our coaching is more than just workouts - we help you build a lifestyle that supports your goals through strength training, mobility, recovery strategies, and habit change. Whether you’re rehabbing pain or leveling up performance, we tailor everything to you.
