ABOUT US
I’ve helped thousands of clients overcome life-limiting pain, regain mobility, and return to the activities they enjoy. Some have even been able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on pain medication and opioids. Seeing people reclaim their lives from pain is what drives everything we do.
I’m Zach Mayfield, founder of Body in Gear. I always knew I wanted to help people, but I didn’t fully understand what that meant until I discovered massage therapy.
At the time, I was deeply involved in powerlifting and competed in as many meets as I could find. The intense training eventually caught up with me, and I suffered a serious shoulder injury that forced me to stop lifting. A close friend and training partner suggested I see a massage therapist. I was hesitant at first, but after just two sessions, I was able to bench press again without pain.
That experience completely changed my perspective. It showed me the incredible impact hands-on therapy could have on pain, movement, and recovery. From that moment forward, I knew I wanted to help others experience the same kind of relief that helped me get back to doing what I loved.
Why We Created Body in Gear
Over the years, we noticed a problem within the massage industry. Many massage franchises focus primarily on relaxation rather than addressing the underlying cause of pain. While those services can feel good in the moment, they often don’t focus on why the patient came in or what needs to change to truly solve the problem.
That realization led us to ask an important question:
How can we take something that feels good and make it truly therapeutic?
The answer became Body in Gear.
Our goal was to build something different from the traditional massage model—a clinic where treatment plans are designed to solve pain patterns, correct posture, and restore function in a structured clinical environment.
