Meet Francisco
Hi guys,
I'm Francisco Chavez, and we own The Recovery Room.
For the last thirteen years I've spent my days with my hands on people who hurt. Athletes, nurses, contractors, parents, folks who've been carrying the same shoulder pain for so long they stopped mentioning it. I've built my practice on Swedish, deep tissue, sports, and therapeutic massage, but what I actually do is listen to a body and figure out what it's asking for.
Outside the studio, I'm usually walking my dog or out on a trail with my wife and son. I used to ride motorcycles. That chapter closed the day my son was born, and I haven't looked back once, we've got a second son on the way now.
Becoming a father changed how I think about this work. It made me pay closer attention to what it means to feel good in your own body, not just for a weekend, but for the long run, for the decades where you still want to be able to get down on the floor and play. That's what I want for the people who come see me.
What I Believe
Pain isn't something you're supposed to live with.
Too many people have been told to stretch more, take something for it, and wait it out. Then they spend years managing pain instead of resolving it.
I don't think that's how it has to go. I believe massage is a real part of healing, not a luxury, not a treat, not something you earn after a hard week. It's care. And when it's done with attention and done consistently, bodies change.
The goal is simple. Pain free.
How I Work
No two bodies are the same, so no two sessions should be either.
I don't hand you a menu. We talk first, what hurts, what you've already tried, what you're trying to get back to doing and then I build the session around that. Deep tissue, cranial sacral, Swedish, relaxation, PNF stretching, percussion, muscular alignment, sports massage, hot stones, vibration therapy, aromatherapy. Whatever your body needs that day.
Relaxing space, modern feel, and full attention on you for the entire hour.
What's Coming Next
Here's what I'm most excited about.
We're expanding The Recovery Room into a full wellness and recovery center, sauna, leg compression therapy, and a recovery lounge with unlimited access.
This has been the plan for a long time. Because here's what I've learned in ten years of doing this: the people who genuinely get out of pain and stay out of it aren't the ones who book a massage when things get unbearable. They're the ones who show up consistently. Recovery isn't an emergency service. It's a habit.
Up to now, all I could offer was an hour on my table. Now I can offer you somewhere to come whenever your body needs it, sweat it out in the sauna, get your legs up in compression, work out a tight spot, and go on with your day.
That's the vision. A place in St. Cloud and Kissimmee where recovery is just part of how you live, not something you scramble for after it's already too late.
