🤔 One of the most common questions clients have, but don't always ask:
"What exactly should I take off for my massage?"

The golden rule is simple: undress to your comfort level. Your therapist will always work within the boundaries you're comfortable with.

If you're looking for thorough work on your neck, shoulders, and back, removing your bra and jewelry is recommended. This gives your therapist easier access to those areas without straps, clasps, or chains getting in the way.

That means smoother, more continuous work and fewer things standing between your therapist and those stubborn areas of tension. 💆‍♀️

But remember, you are always in control of your comfort level. There is never a requirement to remove anything you're not comfortable removing.

Ready to release some of that shoulder tension? 🌿

There’s a difference between “getting through your appointment”…
and actually feeling cared for while you’re there.

That difference matters to us more than you probably realize 🤍

Happy Labor Day from Inner Roots Wellness! 🌿

Today, we're celebrating the people who work hard in all the different ways that keep our families, communities, and businesses moving.

Whether you've spent the weekend working, caring for others, catching up around the house, or simply trying to slow down, we hope you find a little time to pause and recharge.

Your body works hard for you every day. It deserves some care, too. 💚
Wishing you a safe, restful Labor Day!

"Should I leave my underwear on?"

It's a question we hear all the time, and there's no need to feel embarrassed about asking!

When it comes to underwear, the answer depends on what you're comfortable with and what your therapist is working on. You are always in control of your comfort level.

That said, we rarely meet a client who doesn't have some degree of tension through the hips and glutes. These muscles can play an important role in things like low back discomfort, hip stiffness, and certain patterns of pain that travel into the leg.

And we get it. The idea of having your glutes worked on can feel a little awkward or intimidating at first. That's completely normal!

But when these muscles are contributing to your discomfort, addressing them can make a big difference in how your body feels and moves. 💆‍♀️

Your therapist will explain what they're doing, maintain appropriate draping, and work within your comfort level throughout your session.

Don't let hip or back discomfort keep you from getting the care you need. 🌿

💚 Meet Chris!

You may already know Chris, but how well do you know the person behind the massage table?

Chris loves anatomy, working with his hands, and continually learning new ways to help people feel better in their bodies. His approach focuses on understanding the source of pain and tension, relieving those areas, and helping clients understand how to better manage those patterns going forward.

One of his favorite areas to work? The scalenes, those often-overlooked muscles in the front of the neck that can contribute to head tension and neck pain.

Outside of Inner Roots, Chris is a proud cat dad to Raja & Thelma. 🐈🐈‍⬛

And if you're at a desk all day, his movement recommendations include squats, lunges, sphinx pose, and shoulder circles. So take this as your sign to get up and move! 😉

We're grateful to have Chris as part of the Inner Roots team and hope you enjoyed getting to know him a little better. 🌿

🍂 Fall is shaping up to be a fun season at Inner Roots Wellness!

We've got a few exciting classes in the works, including a cozy fall craft class and two educational essential oils workshops.

More details, class descriptions, and registration information are coming soon, so stay tuned. We can't wait to share what's ahead! 🤍

"If it hurts, the problem is being addressed."

It's one of the biggest myths we hear about massage.

The truth? Massage doesn't have to hurt to be effective.

Our bodies are incredibly smart. An old injury, even one from years ago, can cause other muscles to work harder to compensate. Over time, those overworked areas become tight, sore, and sensitive.

Adding more pressure isn't always the answer.

Sometimes the greatest relief comes from slowing down. Lighter pressure. Hot stones. Techniques that help calm your nervous system instead of giving it something else to fight against.

Every body is different, which is why every session at Inner Roots Wellness is tailored to you, not to a one-size-fits-all idea of what massage "should" feel like.
And yes, every tool we use, including hot stones, is part of your session. No surprise add-on fees. Just the care your body needs. 🤍

Reviews like this remind us why we're so passionate about what we do. 🤍

We're incredibly proud of Victoria and the thoughtful care she provides to every client who walks through our doors.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their experience. Your support means the world to our team here at Inner Roots Wellness.
