"My name is Alena Brooks, Ariel has been able to offer me healing hands through aches, pains, soreness, injury, tightness and anything you can think of from being a professional track athlete and pounding my body constantly. I have always felt comfortable, cared for and safe on her table, she listens! She takes her cue from you. You get to decide if you need quiet during the session or if you are up for comfortable conversation.

What takes Ariel a step further is that she encourages me to be an active participant in my own treatment by putting me to work with passive resistance stretches or offering me suggestions of rehabilitative exercises that I can do at home or at my training facility.

​She is open to ideas and interested to know what works for you and is thoroughly invested in your goals! She wants your goals to be realized as much as you do. Sometimes I think of it as my goals have become hers as well because she knows the instrumental role she plays in it. Thank you Ariel, for being there for me, for my recovery and heading full on towards my goals with me!"

"I cannot say enough about Ariel and her ability to keep people on the road to their dreams. I’m attempting at age 52 to run the 6 Abbott World Major Marathons. With Ariel’s expertise and professionalism, I was able to complete 3 marathons in 7 weeks this fall. 

She helped me combat numerous novice marathon running mistakes. Ariel also conquered my travel jet lag. I ran Berlin then Chicago and lastly New York City. It was tough to start with the first marathon on another continent.... to say I came back tight is an understatement. Ariel also provides access to the additional gadgets you need on this type of journey via her in-house store. 

I truly believe without Ariel I would not be on this road AGAIN to the Boston Marathon on April 15th and London Marathon April 28th. 
Although there are times I like to say Ariel is TOO good at deep tissue, I am always grateful when I hit the pavement the next day lose and ready to keep running. 

In addition, Ariel is a kind supporter. Messaging me encouragement before each race. Always going the extra mile to ensure I make the extra mile!"

Bernard Oliver | Golden Gloves Champion Boxer

Bernard Oliver began boxing in high school as a way to improve his hand-eye coordination for football and to learn self-defense.  His boxing cross-training quickly blossomed into a love for the sweet science of the sport. His continued involvement and love of the sport led him to Straightright Springdale in 2013 where he is currently on staff as an assistant coach and trainer and point of contact for all customer service needs.

Since joining the Straightright Boxing Team he has competed in numerous national competitions; winning his first National Title tournament as a novice at super heavyweight in 2015. In 2018 he added his second state Golden Gloves Championship, his first regional Golden Gloves championship and his first Golden Gloves national berth all at heavyweight.

"Competitor's Edge helped me by relieving the stresses boxing puts on my body. It is very important to be loose and limber as a boxer. It improved my flexibility which in turn improved my strength and most importantly my speed and also cleared up small technical deficiencies that were created from problems with muscle recovery. Technique improves all my natural strengths in boxing and also helped me sleep combined with a hot yoga regimen."

Grayson | Baseball Player

"Grayson is a super active 9 year old! Unfortunately, he was at a jump park and hurt his lower back. This was affecting him greatly as a travel baseball player. It hurt to run, pitch, and swing the bat.

​Thankfully, we had Ariel to help with recovery! Not only did she do an amazing physical assessment and sports therapy session, she educated him on taking care of his body pre/post games! Just after one visit, he was back to 100%.  We have now made it routine to visit Ariel for sports therapy sessions!" - Mom

​ Chris | Competitive Lifter

I want to highlight one of my newer massage clients, Chris. He has been lifting and competing for 7 years now. He came to me a couple weeks ago knowing he needed some deep work so that he could continue training efficiently for his recent competition. He sent me this message with these pictures:

"Your new client won first place today in the men's open and over 40. Squatted 500, benched 360, and deadlifted 625." If you don't know anything about lifting, thats alright. I'll help you by saying those numbers are good. That deadlift is killer!" 

Congratulations to Chris for getting proper care when he needed it and pushing to achieve his goals!!

​ Christina | Marathon Runner

Congratulations to Christa for completing her first half marathon! She has gone through many medical issues that left her doctors saying she was unlikely to ever run again, but with hard work and dedication, she has overcome those odds! Not only did Christa run to overcome these obstacles, but she ran for her father who was a runner himself and is now in his last stages of ALS.

​Christa is pictured on the far left along with her two sisters that ran along side her. Talk about a story worth noting! Thank you Christa for allowing CEM to be part of your journey!!!

"Competitors Edge played a big goal in getting me prepared for Paris Olympics. As an athlete it is important to find someone that listens and knows the body and how it works. 

I found that at Competitors Edge. Pain relief. Improvements in the way I move just to name a few. Competitors Edge held me together and ensured I made it to Paris in once piece."

​Logan Jolly | Track & Field

"My name is Logan Jolly, and I am a professional track and field athlete. I specialize in the Steeplechase event which involves running 3000m on a track while jumping over 28 barriers and 7 water jumps. It is a brutal event that takes a toll on my body, but over the past two years, Ariel has worked hard to keep me healthy, feeling fresh, and performing at my best.

​I appreciate how she works to find the source of my sore muscles, instead of just giving me a massage and sending me home. She takes a preventative approach with the goal of using massage as maintenance rather than a bandaid for underlying issues. I also appreciate how Ariel gives me focus areas to work on between visits so that I can always be improving my recovery and in turn improving my performance. 

With the help of Competitior’s Edge Massage, I’ve been able to set personal records year after year, finish 10th at the US Olympic Trials this past summer, and currently rank 33rd in the world for my event. I’m a better athlete and competitor thanks to Ariel and CEM!"
