At Rooted Massage & Detox, massage therapy isn’t just about relaxation — it’s about helping your body heal, reset, and feel better from the inside out.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, poor sleep, or just need time to breathe, massage can be a powerful tool in your health and wellness routine.

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft tissues in the body — muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Using hands-on techniques like kneading, compression, gliding, and stretching, your massage therapist works to relieve tension, break up tight spots, increase circulation, and promote healing.

It’s one of the oldest forms of medicine, used for thousands of years across cultures — and for good reason. When done with skill and care, massage therapy supports the body’s natural ability to recover, relax, and reset.

Who Can Benefit From Massage?

Massage isn’t just for athletes or people with injuries. It’s for anyone who wants to feel better in their body.

  • People recovering from injuries or surgeries who want to speed up healing

  • Athletes and active individuals who need to stay mobile and prevent injury

  • Those with chronic pain like sciatica, low back pain, or fibromyalgia

Types of Massage We Offer

At Rooted Massage & Detox, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every body is different. Every session is personalized based on how you feel that day and what your goals are.

Some of the modalities we may use include:

  • Deep Tissue Massage – Targets deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic tension and knots

  • Swedish Massage – Relaxing, flowing strokes to support full-body calm and circulation

  • Trigger Point Therapy – Focused work on small, sensitive muscle areas that cause referred pain

  • Lymphatic Drainage – Light, rhythmic massage that helps the body remove waste and toxins

  • Prenatal Massage – Safe, gentle massage for expectant mothers to reduce pain and stress

  • Myofascial Release – Slow, sustained pressure to release restrictions in the connective tissue

You don’t have to know which one is right for you — we’ll figure that out together.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy supports nearly every system in your body — muscles, nervous system, lymphatic flow, and more. Here are some of the most important benefits:

1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Massage helps quiet the nervous system, lowers cortisol levels, and activates your body’s rest-and-digest mode. Many people say they feel clearer, calmer, and less overwhelmed after just one session.

2. Relieves Pain and Muscle Tension

Tight muscles, knots, and trigger points can all cause chronic pain. Massage breaks up these areas of tension, brings blood flow to the muscles, and helps your body heal naturally.

3. Improves Circulation

Better circulation means better oxygen and nutrient delivery to your cells — which helps speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and boost energy.

4. Supports Detox and Lymph Flow

Massage supports the movement of lymph — your body’s natural detox system. It helps clear out waste, reduce swelling, and strengthen your immune response.

5. Enhances Sleep

People often sleep better after massage. That’s because your nervous system gets a break, your muscles are more relaxed, and your body feels safe enough to rest deeply.

6. Boosts Mood and Mental Clarity

Massage increases the release of feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. It also helps reduce brain fog and gives you a mental “reset.”

7. Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion

If your body feels stiff or stuck, massage can help loosen the muscles and fascia so you move more freely — and with less risk of injury.

What Makes Massage at Rooted Different?

We’re not a spa that rushes you in and out. And we’re not just focused on symptoms. We care about helping your whole body work better.

Here’s what makes us different:

  • Personalized Sessions – Every appointment is tailored to your goals and needs

  • Holistic Approach – We look at the whole picture: body, mind, and lifestyle

  • Rooted in Results – We focus on true healing, not just surface-level relief

  • Safe and Supportive Environment – No judgment, no pressure. Just care and connection

We also offer detox services that pair beautifully with massage — like infrared sauna and ionic foot baths. These services help your body release what it no longer needs, so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded.

How Often Should You Get a Massage?

That depends on your body and goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, especially if they're dealing with pain or stress. Others come in once or twice a month for maintenance and wellness.

If you’re not sure what’s best, we can create a plan that works for you — and fits your life and budget.

Ready to Feel Better?

Massage therapy is more than just “me time.” It’s a way to support your body, manage stress, and stay ahead of pain before it takes over your life.

If you’re ready to feel more rooted in your body, we’re here for you.
