Most people think massage is either a fluffy spa day or brutal pain disguised as “progress.” Neither actually works.
Anthony sits down with Sophia, founder of In Body Massage and Wellness, to break down what massage looks like when it’s treated as healthcare. This episode covers how targeted, intentional bodywork can reduce pain, improve range of motion, regulate the nervous system, and support better sleep without bruising or guesswork.
Sophia explains how she builds personalized sessions for common problem areas like the neck, shoulders, and upper back, especially for people who train hard, work long hours, or live with chronic stress. The real driver of results isn’t pressure. It’s clear goals, thoughtful technique, and a frequency that matches the problem.
They also cover how to choose the right therapist, what to ask before booking, how to know if sessions are actually working, and why improved function matters more than momentary relaxation.
The conversation then shifts to building a sustainable wellness business. Sophia shares how underpricing early on stalled growth and attracted the wrong clients, while Anthony adds insight on pricing based on outcomes, tracking progress, and building systems that support long term success.
This episode is for anyone who wants smarter recovery and a stronger foundation in service based business.
