Back in the day, when you’d fall down and go boom, Mom would kiss it and place a Wonder Woman Band-Aid on the wound. Five minutes later, you’d be back in the game.

How times have changed. These days you sleep funny and spend ages in bed with a heating pad on your ailing neck.

Next time your body aches, head to Psoas (pronounced “so as”), a studio headed by Jennifer Lightstone (an athlete and massage enthusiast) and Scott Schwartz (a yogi and former psychotherapist).

The focus at Psoas (named, incidentally, for the hip flexor that’s almost always implicated when pain or discomfort occurs) is on clinical rubdowns for chronic ailments, injuries, and work strain (who doesn’t have that?). Therapists have lots of experience and participate in continuing education.

Relief runs $90-$100 for an hour and $125-$140 for an hour and a half in one of four serene rooms. You’re sure to leave relaxed and rejuvenated.

So you’ll be back in the game in no time.

Psoas Massage & Bodywork, 333 3rd Street, between Folsom and Harrison Streets, suite 205(415-227-0331 or psoasbodywork.com).
