A new luxury sports medicine studio will massage away clients' aches and pains with a good CBD-oil rubdown and other innovative treatments. Dynamic Sports Medicine, a wellness center from husband-and-wife Drs. Brian and Jinna Mann, has opened at 13617 Inwood Rd., Ste. 210, to offer the latest in cutting-edge "recovery," including the trendy, cannabis oil.

For those still fuzzy on the headline-grabbing substance, CBD — short for cannabidiol — is a naturally occurring compound in hemp. Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant, but, whereas hemp is high in CBD, which has anti-inflammatory properties, marijuana is higher in tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which elicits feelings of euphoria. CBD is combined with an oil such as coconut or hemp oil for use in things like massages.

CBD does not get you high, but fans — like the founders of the new North Dallas studio — swear by its powers to relax and soothe just about anyone.

“CBD massages are one small part of the abundant and unique treatments offered — we have access to some of the most innovative tools and treatments in the country, which helps us treat every client like a professional athlete,” Brian Mann says.

You can't just walk in for a CBD massage, though. New clients would need to do a full history and examination with one of the providers first, the owners say.

In addition to CBD massages, the studio offers a new age-y treatment called "Myo Acoustic Compression Therapy," incorporating a machine that uses sound wave therapy to go where massaging hands can't reach. "The sound waves penetrate deep and treat areas that experienced any trauma or inflammation," they explain.

Also on the treatment menu: cupping, sports acupuncture, recovery boots, chiropractic services, taping, and more.

“From some of Dallas’ top fitness instructors to Fortune 500 executives who spend 90 percent of the year on the road, our trainers are able to customize plans that treat the full range of physical ailments,” the Manns say in the release. "From spinning to Pilates to HIIT classes, everyone needs to recover in an effort to achieve wellness goals. Clients are able to recover just as professional athletes do."

Dynamic Sports Medicine was founded in 2016 by a Doctor of Chiropractic, and there are two locations in Austin. According to their website, the center treats a variety of sports injuries, from neck to ankles. A DSM "wall of fame" on their website includes Olympic swimmers, NFL players, track-and-field athletes, and more.

They also offer specialized evaluation and treatment for youth athletes.

The new studio, near the Galleria, is the company's first location in Dallas. Hours are 8 am to 6 pm Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; 7 am to 2 pm Wednesday and Friday; closed Saturday and Sunday.

Coworking News

New coworking space to open in Dallas' Oak Lawn neighborhood

Office Evolution

A coworking space is opening in Dallas in a central location: Office Evolution, a Louisville-based coworking chain, will open what a release says is a "state-of-the-art coworking space" at 3500 Oak Lawn Ave. #360 in Dallas at the southeast corner of Lemmon Avenue.

No details on what makes it state-of-the-art, but construction is ongoing and an opening is anticipated in mid-October.

Office Evolution was founded in 2003 as a shared workspace-coworking environment, cultivated on the principles of "Ohana," the Hawaiian tradition that references family working toward a common goal. (The founder was from Hawaii.)

The company started out in Boulder, Colorado, then relocated its headquarters to Louisville. It's an affiliated brand of United Franchise Group, and is part of The Vast Coworking Group, which specializes in franchising within the coworking industry. All of their locations are franchised.

The Dallas location is owned by franchisee Michael Pickering, a Dallas native who runs a family-owned indoor soccer facility in Dallas. (There are two other Office Evolution locations in the DFW area in McKinney and Southlake, owned by different franchisees.)

They're describing the Dallas location at 3500 Oak Lawn Ave. as "Turtle Creek," although its location at Oak Lawn and Lemmon really puts it at the epicenter of Oak Lawn. (To further complicate matters, the building previously and incorrectly described its address as "Uptown.")

It's a seven-story building in which the majority of tenants are doctor and medical offices.

Office Evolution rates include a coworking day pass for $25, plus "flex" office options starting at $200 a month for 20 hours, up to $550 a month for 80 hours.

Amenities of the building that are also accessible to Office Evolution customers include a front desk; a 1,000-square-foot fitness center; covered parking; and on-site security six days a week.

According to a spokesperson, Pickering and his team put $1.2 million into the renovation to transform the space, which occupies most of the fourth floor where it will span 9,240 square feet of space with 41 total offices — one of which is earmarked as an "on-demand office" for the professional on the go.
