Ashley Shears, LMT, CMT, BCTMB
Hi there! Most therapeutic approaches treat symptoms. I treat systems.
In a high-pressure environment, your body’s structural integrity and nervous system resilience are your most valuable assets. When they fail, your performance follows.
I founded SoleCal to provide a specialized, clinical solutions for those who require their bodies to operate at peak capacity.
With a foundation in Myofascial Barefoot Massage, Yoga Tune Up® methodology, and neurological down-regulation, my approach is built upon physiological principles in tandem with personal experience managing multiple injuries.
By utilizing barefoot massage techniques, I am able to apply consistent, broad-surface pressure that traditional manual therapy cannot replicate. This results in deeper fascial release, longer-lasting structural alignment, and a profound reset of the sympathetic nervous system.
I don’t believe in maintenance that only lasts one day. I believe in structural restoration.
My protocols are designed for the active professional, the athlete, and the leader who views health as a non-negotiable investment.
At SoleCal, the goal is simple: eliminate the physical “noise” of pain and stress so you can focus on what you do best.
