OUR WHY & WHAT with Testimonials
OUR WHY and OUR WHAT
Sonya Straub (formerly Sonya McVay), founded BodyRx together with the support of her dear colleagues, family and friends after more than 15 years of working in the fitness, rehabilitation and wellness industry. We believe it only takes one person to make a difference. Our commitment is to create a new culture in the realm of pain management and movement medicine. BodyRx incorporates a ‘care forward’ culture with cutting edge science. We believe in treating an elderly client with the same level of care and respect as we would a multi-million dollar athlete. BodyRx is built on the principle that every body we touch will receive fierce compassion and excellent care. We are devoted to continuously developing our craft and our staff to maintain that excellence in everything we do.
We bring “NFL” quality sports treatments into our community and integrate them towards your recovery, performance and health. Our professionals combinemovement mechanics, muscle palpation and testing, neuromuscular GAIT analysis, multiple fitness modalities, Kinesiology Taping, InfraRED, MSK ultrasound (so we can see whats on the inside) and manual therapies for assessing and treating pain. We also offer rigorous open floor classes that may be modified for individual strength and movement parameters.

Nancy Prebolich, A Sonoma County fifth generation Farmer discusses her experience with one of our therapists
“As a farmer I work hard with my body, every day. I’m use to the aches and the pains, muscling through it, chalking up the slow physical decline of the last ten years to “getting old;” I’m 44. However, 15 minutes with BodyRx’s Sonya Straub fixed my body and instantly changed my outlook on how my life might look. I not only got relief from the incidental pain that brought me in, I was suddenly relieved of the constant low-level pain that I have been suffering from for a decade and had honestly forgotten was even there, because I simply had learned to live with it. For the first time in years, I was able to sleep through the night and woke up pain-free. If you’re like me and depend on your body for your job, willing to sacrifice it as you prioritize the task at hand, accustomed to accepting the consequences… your body is your greatest, most valuable asset, your most versatile multi-tool. Sonya doesn’t just make it feel better, she fixes it! BodyRx’s treatment isn’t without its own pain, but the results are indelible.”
James Lubbs, SFPD, US Army Combat veteran, Afghanistan/Iraq writes his experience working with one of our therapists
“I was suffering from some severe lower back issues; they have been present for numerous years and had only gotten worse. After a couple of sessions with Sonya, I was well on the right track and feeling terrific. The first few sessions she used active release techniques that were so powerful but indeed very helpful. My range of motion and flexibility seemed to increased immediately. After a few months, some more active release techniques and some soft tissue manipulation, paired with infrared laser for some wound healing, and I feel 20yrs younger. I am in a place now that I am much more flexible, eager to exercise because I am relatively pain free, and most importantly my body can now keep up with my hectic schedule and day-to-day routine as a law enforcement officer. As a bonus, Sonya is perpetually optimistic. This, in conjunction with her support of us veterans and law enforcement, yields an absolutely priceless benefit because she causes you see the positives. I am forever grateful of Sonya’s work, and I’m not quite sure where I’d be without her expertise!”
