If you’ve landed here, chances are something in your body or life just isn’t feeling quite right. Maybe it’s a persistent ache in your lower back, a chronic injury that’s limiting your movement, or a quiet inner knowing that things could be better. Two complementary paths—hands-on bodywork and integrative health support—help you move, feel, and function better. By addressing both tension in the body and habits that create it, we help you feel more in control of your health.
Manual Therapy
Bodywork & Massage therapy designed to restore balance, relieve tension, and support your body’s natural alignment & wellbeing.
Integrative Health Solutions
Assessment-driven care using corrective exercise, stretching, functional movement, and practical lifestyle strategies to support lasting change.
What is a CHEK Practitioner?
CHEK Practitioners are health professionals who work from a holistic perspective, using the principles of the CHEK system (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology). This approach, developed by Paul Chek, is centered on identifying root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. It recognizes the close relationship between the body, lifestyle, and internal stress load, and how these factors influence overall health.
CHEK Practitioners draw from multiple disciplines, including functional and corrective exercise, nutrition, stress regulation, and lifestyle guidance, to support a more complete and integrated approach to care.

Nick Rivera, LMT - Founder
Hi, I’m Nick Rivera—a CHEK Practitioner and licensed massage therapist based in Santa Fe. I support busy professionals who are feeling overwhelmed, in pain, and disconnected from their bodies—people who are ready to slow down, heal deeply, and make meaningful changes that last.
If you’re new to holistic health or movement, you’re in the right place. Many of the people I work with have tried everything—from physical therapy to medication—and still feel stuck. My approach is different. Through therapeutic massage, corrective exercise/movement, and personalized lifestyle coaching, I help you reconnect with your body in a way that feels empowering, supportive, and sustainable.

“Nick at Rivera Sol Bodywork deserves nothing short of a glowing five-star review! I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing his exceptional massage therapy and stretching sessions, and it’s been a game-changer for my overall well-being. In the midst of life’s stresses, where I tend to push my body to its limits, Nick has been a healing force.
His intuitive approach goes beyond typical massage therapy; Nick truly understands how to address specific issues and promote recovery. I appreciate not only his technical expertise but also the genuine care he puts into each session. Nick creates a welcoming and soothing environment that complements his therapeutic skills, making the entire experience rejuvenating.
If you’re seeking more than just a massage but a holistic approach to healing, Nick at Rivera Sol Bodywork is the go-to professional. I can’t recommend him enough for his outstanding ability to bring relief and healing to the body. Five stars without a doubt!”

“I have been living with sciatica/hip/glute pain for over 20 years. I’ve done acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, injections, pain killers, cannabis, prayer, naprapathy, stretching, foam rolling, YOU NAME IT, I’ve tried it. The pain has been consistently at a 7-10 on the pain scale daily.
Last week I had a massage with Nick Rivera, at Rivera Sol Bodywork and my pain is GONE! Nick helped me release a lifetime of trauma, grief, and emotions that I have been holding in my hips. It was transformational and I am so grateful. I highly recommend Nick for your bodywork needs. “
