We work with high-output, contact-sport athletes who are cleared to play — but not performing at their best.
When pain, accumulated load, or repeated breakdown starts limiting output, most approaches default to rest or pushing harder. Our role sits in the middle: restoring durability, managing load, and helping athletes return to high performance without unnecessary downtime.
As a team with training in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture and strength and conditioning, we integrate a functional assessment with real-world performance demands. We don’t treat symptoms in isolation, and we don’t work session-to-session. We take on defined cases where there’s a clear path back to availability and output.
We work with professionals who need their bodies to perform through long seasons, heavy contact, and high stress — and who value decisive, outcome-focused care.
If you’re looking for general maintenance or reassurance, Sailor Jack's is probably not the right fit.
If your body is limiting your performance, that’s where we do our best work.



Manual soft tissue techniques are a form of adjunctive manual therapy that can include holding, moving, and applying pressure to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia in order to improve their wellbeing or health.
When used in conjunction with: good quality sleep, proper hydration & nutritional practices as well as regular mobility and strength training protocols; adjunctive manual soft tissue techniques are an excellent therapeutic modality that may help to support the body's natural ability to:
• Reduce muscle tension. • Increase joint mobility and overall flexibility.
• Improve circulation. • Improve short-term comfort & recovery.
• Improve movement tolerance. • Promote & support relaxation.
• Improve skin tone. • Help reduce perceived stress.
IASTM is an adjunctive, deep–tissue, therapeutic technique that is aimed at improving local soft-tissue mobility through the fascia and short-term movement tolerance in some populations. In improving proper, local soft-tissue mobility throughout the fascia, optimal function and performance is restored, supported, achieved and maintained.
Cupping is an adjunctive transcutaneous therapeutic modality that is used to help soothe and treat the superficial layers of the dermis as well as the deeper fascial layers of tissue in the body. The fascial matrix of tissue is what encases the muscles and helps to hold them in place while simultaneously providing critical kinesthetic and proprioceptive feedback to the brain about our body's location in space and time with respect to our surroundings.
Think of the fascial layers of tissue within your body as being akin to the gooey marshmallow connections in a rice crispy square. The marshmallows hold the individual rice-cripsy pieces in place when at room temperature but, with a little heat, that gooey-marshmallow filling starts to become more malleable and the rice crispy bits can start to move a little more freely and can be slid or compressed with a little pressure. The same is true of cupping and its affect on the tissues of the body. Cupping is used to restore function—slide & glide—to tissues that are otherwise dysfunctional.
