📅 Our Schedule Is Changing

As the school year gets closer, our availability will be shifting a little bit.

Did you know we're a homeschool family? We currently have one child in high school and one in elementary school, and Andrea teaches them both at home which means her availability needs to shift a bit during the school year.

Work-life balance, am I right? 😂

Starting the week of August 31, our regular availability will be:

Monday
Eric: 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
Andrea: 3:00–7:00 PM

Tuesday
Eric: 9:00 AM–7:00 PM

Wednesday
Andrea: 2:00 PM–6:00 PM

Thursday
Eric: 9:00 AM–7:00 PM

Friday

If you need a time outside of our regular availability, feel free to reach out! We'll always do our best to accommodate when we can.

💙 Don't Forget Our Referral Program!

Have you received a massage from us and loved it enough to send someone our way?

We're filling up! As the school year edges ever closer (can you believe most schools start back next week!?) make sure to get in a little self care! With all the hustle, supply shopping, haircuts, new clothes, meet the teacher, and doctor appointments for the kids, you deserve a little time to yourself.

With that in mind, our availability will be shifting some with the school year starting. We will send out an email and post here with those updates!

So, who is ready for school to start and who wants more summer?

We're here and we're ready when you are. Always calm. Always peaceful. Always therapeutic.

Need a place to clear your head and unwind in a quiet space? ✅️

Need pain or tension relief? ✅️

Need a mixture of both? ✅️

Therapeutic massage isn't always about using deep pressure to work out tension. Therapeutic work also involves calming your nervous system so your body feels safe enough to relax.

When your nervous system shifts out of "fight or flight" and into a state of "rest and digest," your muscles naturally begin to release. Rather than fighting against tight muscles with more force, we work with your body, encouraging it to let go. That's when lasting relief happens.

The goal isn't to overpower your muscles, but to create an environment where your mind and body can fully relax, allowing the massage to be more effective and your body to heal the way it was designed to.

Same cupping marks. Two different explanations.

Swipe through these graphics and you'll notice thag they don't say the same thing.

That's intentional.

The first infographic reflects the traditional interpretation of cupping, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In that framework, the color and appearance of cupping marks may be interpreted as signs of concepts like stagnation or imbalance within the body.

The second infographic reflects the modern Western medical perspective. Based on current scientific evidence, the marks are understood as a temporary response to suction. Their color is influenced by factors such as suction strength, treatment time, skin thickness, hydration, and each person's unique vascular response. Research has not shown that the color of cupping marks can diagnose toxins, organ health, or specific medical conditions.

So...which one is right?

That depends on the lens you're using.

Traditional medicine and modern medicine often use different models to explain the same observation. One is based on centuries of clinical tradition and philosophy, while the other relies on anatomy, physiology, and scientific research. They don't always use the same language or arrive at the same conclusions.

At Elevate Wellness, we believe it's important to be transparent about that distinction. Our goal is to provide treatments that are supported by the best available evidence while also respecting the history and traditions from which many techniques originated.

No matter which explanation resonates with you, one thing both perspectives agree on is this: cupping has been used for centuries to help people manage muscle tension, improve mobility, and support recovery.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Which explanation have you heard before?

Anybody here a little bit of a history nerd? Did you know massage therapy dates back thousands of years?

One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding massage is that it's simply a way to relax.

While relaxation is certainly one benefit, therapeutic massage has a much deeper history and it's so cool to see how different cultures and times have helped build modern massage therapy knowledge.

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have used hands-on therapy to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support healing. Ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman practitioners all documented forms of therapeutic massage long before modern medicine existed. Cool, right?

In the 1800s, physicians such as Per Henrik Ling and later Dr. John Harvey Kellogg helped organize massage into more structured therapeutic approaches used alongside exercise, rehabilitation, and physical medicine.

Over the past several decades, scientific research has continued to build on those foundations. Today, studies suggest massage therapy can help:

✔ Reduce muscle tension
✔ Improve range of motion
✔ Decrease stress and anxiety
✔ Support recovery from physical activity
✔ Help manage certain types of pain
✔ Encourage relaxation by influencing the nervous system

Massage isn't a replacement for medical care when it's needed of course, but it has earned its place as a valuable part of modern healthcare.

At Elevate Wellness, our goal isn't simply to help you relax (although that's a wonderful benefit). It's to help you move better, feel better, and support your body's recovery using techniques that combine time-tested practice with today's evidence.

Because feeling better shouldn't be considered a luxury and history shows its sustained place in the medical world.
