About VERVE Muscle Recovery
Redefining athletic care in Cache Valley
VERVE was founded on a simple premise: you shouldn’t have to choose between a spa day and a doctor’s visit.
Our purpose
We bridge the gap between relaxation and rehabilitation, combining advanced manual therapy with recovery technology in a fully customized session.
Whether you want to crush a PR, come back from surgery or get through the work week without back pain, we’re your performance pit crew.
The VERVE difference
Many of the clinical techniques we use are rare in Utah. We move past the “fluff” of traditional massage to address the root cause of dysfunction.
Our goal is to stop minor tweaks from becoming season-ending injuries and to get you back to what you love.
Out in the field
We don’t just work in a clinic. We’ve supported grueling endurance events like 29029 Everesting.
We work with local CrossFit boxes and gyms, and with athletes from high school through Utah State University.
Meet the founder, Joshua Garrison
Joshua is the owner and lead Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) at VERVE. Originally from Western North Carolina, he brings 10 years of practice and a skill set that sets him apart from other therapists in the state: Southern hospitality with clinical precision, so every client feels heard and healed.
Before recovery work, Joshua served in the United States Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The discipline, attention to detail and integrity he learned there are the foundation of how he runs VERVE today.
A personal mission
Joshua calls Cache Valley home with his wife, Heather, and their three children. His passion for anatomy and recovery is deeply personal: his youngest daughter was born with Apert Syndrome, and walking with her through surgeries and recovery has given him a first-hand understanding of the body’s resilience and of what real rehabilitation takes.
Away from the clinic you’ll find him snowboarding, hiking the mountains with his family, and, when the mood strikes, playing guitar and singing karaoke.
