Question 1

What is myofascial flushing?

Accepted Answer

Myofascial flushing is a hands-on technique that works through the body's fascial tissue — the connective layer around muscles, tendons, and joints. The Rodrigo Method applies this using a precision steel flushing stick, moving along specific tissue pathways to support mobility and recovery. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/method

Question 2

How is myofascial flushing different from a regular massage?

Accepted Answer

Traditional massage focuses on muscle relaxation through sustained manual pressure. Myofascial flushing uses a free-spinning steel instrument to apply controlled, directional force along fascial pathways. The technique and the tool are different. They are not equivalent and do not claim to produce the same outcomes. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/method

Question 3

How is this different from a foam roller or massage gun?

Accepted Answer

Foam rollers rely on body weight and self-application. Massage guns produce perpendicular percussion. The Rodrigo Method uses a 360°-axis rolling tool operated by a certified specialist — allowing for controlled depth, directionality, and real-time pressure adjustment that self-tools cannot replicate.

Question 4

Does a session hurt?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are intense but controlled. Therapeutic pressure is applied deliberately — not to cause pain, but to engage the tissue directly. Most clients describe the sensation as significant but manageable. If at any point the pressure is too much, communicate with Rodrigo and it will be adjusted immediately.

Question 5

What should I expect in my first session?

Accepted Answer

Every session starts with a short intake: your targets, training load, and any specific areas to address. Rodrigo then runs the full protocol — warmup, flush, reset, and takeaway. First-time clients often report feeling lighter in the legs and noticing improved range of motion during the session itself. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/journal/what-to-expect-first-session

Question 6

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Accepted Answer

Many clients report noticing changes during the session — reduced stiffness, improved range of motion, and a feeling of greater ease in movement. Individual results vary based on session type, body condition, and training load. No specific outcomes are guaranteed.

Question 7

How often should I book?

Accepted Answer

Once or twice per week is typical for clients in active training. Monthly subscription plans (The Committed and The Elite) are designed for consistent, structured recovery. Single sessions are available for specific needs or before/after events. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/pricing

Question 8

What is the difference between the 60 and 90 minute sessions?

Accepted Answer

The 60-minute Tune-Up focuses on targeted problem areas and is well-suited to pre-event activation or maintenance. The 90-minute Full Reset covers the full body with more time for depth in each area — ideal for first-time clients and post-event recovery. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/journal/60-vs-90-minutes

Question 9

Where do sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are available in-home across Manhattan and Brooklyn, and at the Manhattan studio. In-home sessions require approximately a 6×8 ft clear floor space. Rodrigo brings all equipment. Location details are confirmed at booking. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/services/in-home-recovery

Question 10

Is this a medical treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. Rodrigo Method sessions are performance-focused recovery, not medical treatment. The service does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. If you are managing an injury, pain, or health condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before booking.

Question 11

What should I do after the session?

Accepted Answer

Hydrate well after your session. Light movement and, if available, sauna can complement the work done. Rodrigo will give you a brief takeaway at the end of each session with specific guidance for the following 24 hours.

Question 12

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reschedule up to 12 hours before your session. Late cancellations (under 12 hours) are non-refundable. Subscriptions auto-renew monthly and can be cancelled anytime — effective at the next billing cycle. Session packages have no auto-renewal. See: https://rodrigomethodnyc.com/pricing

Question 13

How do I contact Rodrigo directly?

Accepted Answer

Email info@rodrigomethodnyc.com or DM @rodrigomethodnyc on Instagram. Responses are typically within 24 hours.
