Mayberry Wellness – Focusing on injury recovery, pain management and athletic performance
Mayberry Wellness’ Ro Mayberry brings more than Massage to her Clients
Throughout 20 years of practicing massage therapy, Ro Mayberry has earned enough certifications and licenses to fill a large binder. As a one-woman operation, she describes herself as a Rolfer® who also specializes in fascia-focused massage. What does that mean, exactly? Well, it’s not your typical scented oils and hot stone rub down.
“We call it voodoo,” jokes long-time client Mark Benson. “Ro does not give you what you’re expecting, but what your body needs. What she does melds together into a beautiful soup of massage. It’s like a multi-layered grilled cheese sandwich.”
Focusing on injury recovery, pain management and athletic performance, Mayberry begins each session evaluating the client as they stand barefoot and walk across the room. She makes simple yet startling observations. She points out habits that clients never realized they had. Maybe they dump all their weight onto one leg, crunch their toes, or stand with a head tilt. All of this informs her session, which focuses on manipulating fascia – the body’s connective tissue that surrounds muscle, nerves and organs.
“I like to think of fascia as the architecture of the body,” Mayberry says. “It surrounds everything in your body. It glides, slides, moves, responds to pressure. It’s the most fascinating tissue network in the body that responds to manual work.”
Growing up with a gypsy-like lifestyle and artistic sensibilities, always relishing work with her hands, Mayberry moved to Breckenridge in 2002. She earned a living in restaurants and coffee shops before realizing massage was the ultimate way to improve lives through hands-on work. She commuted to Boulder to earn a massage therapy certification and co-founded her inaugural local massage clinic in 2006.
After several years of further education – earning her EMT License, taking pre-requisite classes for P.A. school and commuting to Georgia for two years to get her Rolfing® certification – all while pursuing her athletic dreams as a pro mountain biker, Mayberry Wellness opened in 2020.
“I love creating a space and environment where people can transform and grow in ways they would never expect or have sensation in a body part they haven’t felt for years,” she says. “It’s amazing when someone stands up and cries because it’s the first time they’ve stood up without pain in years. I had someone who finished a 10 Series and told me they were an inch taller in their annual exam.”
Benson, who works in construction and skis hard, has seen Mayberry regularly for about five years, including for a 10-session Rolfing® series. He credits the bodywork for overcoming a number of injuries and ailments, including hip surgery, shoulder surgery, nagging knee pain and a bad fall in which he compressed vertebra and damaged his scapula.
“The work makes improvements at a cellular level. I experience a lot of relief at every session,” he says.
Mayberry’s schedule is usually booked out for weeks. She aims to work meticulously with only four clients a day. “I’m trying to heal the world one client at a time,” she says.
