Services
Therapeutic Massage
Customized therapeutic massage addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural imbalances through deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Our advanced practitioners assess individual needs to create targeted treatment plans that improve mobility and reduce inflammation. This service benefits clients seeking relief from conditions like fibromyalgia, sciatica, and repetitive strain injuries while promoting overall wellness through hands-on healing.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna sessions deliver deep-penetrating heat that detoxifies the body, eases muscle tension, and improves circulation. The 5cm thermal penetration reaches joints and soft tissues for lasting pain relief while stimulating metabolic processes. Clients experience reduced inflammation, enhanced immune function, and stress reduction through regular sessions that complement other wellness treatments in our holistic approach to health optimization.
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial combines ultrasound, microcurrent, and hydrodermabrasion technologies for comprehensive skin renewal. This non-invasive treatment addresses texture irregularities, congested pores, and uneven tone through simultaneous exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. Customizable protocols target specific concerns like hyperpigmentation or aging skin while delivering immediate radiance and long-term collagen stimulation for lasting facial rejuvenation.
Cupping Therapy
Modern cupping therapy utilizes silicone cups to create controlled suction that releases muscle tension and improves circulation. This technique effectively reduces pain from chronic tightness, enhances range of motion, and accelerates recovery from physical strain. Sessions incorporate dynamic cup movement and static placement to address specific areas of concern while promoting systemic relaxation through nervous system regulation.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted massage techniques provide comfort during pregnancy by addressing postural strain, swelling, and hormonal changes. Our therapists employ side-lying positioning and modified pressure to ensure safety while relieving common discomforts like sciatic nerve pain and round ligament tension. This service supports emotional well-being through stress reduction and prepares the body for labor through improved circulation and muscle relaxation.

Questions
What makes your therapeutic massage different from standard spa treatments?
Our therapists combine medical knowledge with advanced techniques like myofascial release and trigger point therapy to address specific musculoskeletal issues rather than just providing relaxation.
How often should I schedule massage sessions for chronic pain management?
For chronic conditions, we recommend bi-weekly sessions initially, adjusting frequency based on individual progress and symptom improvement over time.
Can infrared sauna therapy help with arthritis symptoms?
Yes, the deep heat penetration improves joint mobility and reduces inflammation, with many clients reporting decreased stiffness and better range of motion after regular sessions.
What skincare benefits does the Hydrafacial provide?
Hydrafacial addresses multiple concerns including texture improvement, pore cleansing, hydration boost, and reduction of fine lines through its multi-step technology-driven approach.
Are your massage therapists qualified for medical-grade treatments?
All therapists maintain Ohio state licensure with 800+ hours of accredited training, and our advanced practitioners complete ongoing specialized education in therapeutic applications.
Do you offer gift certificates for services?
We provide digital and physical gift certificates valid for all services, redeemable online or through our front desk, with five-year validity for flexible scheduling.

I'm amazed! I've had my fair share of massages and in just one session with Sheila, she may have outdone every other massage I've ever had. I've been experiencing chronic back pain for almost a year and through various massage and chiropractic appointments, couldn't find a fix. Sheila listened to what was going on and found the exact places that needed worked out in my back. I'll certainly be going back soon!

I had an appointment with Ms. Shelia and it was the best massage I've ever had! She was so professional, knowledgeable and warm. I was so comfortable. I typically get a massage once/year for fun/relaxation and usually get a Groupon, but I will look no further. I will continue to book with Shelia and will be back very soon! I felt great the entire day!

I'm visiting family from out of town and struggling with pain and neuropathy. Booking on line was simple and easy. Morgan was my therapist and she's obviously very highly knowledgeable of anatomy, with an extremely skilled and talented touch. Just the right balance of depth, pressure and firmness. I'm feeling sooo much better and 100% pain free. I'll absolutely be booking again the next time I'm in Pickerington! Check 'em out.

The peoples were super nice and funny, the rooms were comfortable, and the masseuse I had was very skilled and enjoyed doing what she did. I came in with very bad backache and within a day or so after it was gone.

Aubrey L. massages are phenomenal! She is literally the only massage therapist that actually really gets me and my body. She does trigger point therapy and finds every knot and sore muscle I have and makes them disappear. I groom pets for a living and it takes a toll on my body, I wouldn't be able to do it without Aubrey. If I could give her 10 stars I would, you definitely won't be disappointed.

UPDATED 2022 review: I forgot I already left a review! And I cannot leave another. But, January 2022, I went in to see Kamille and I believe I had the best massage ever. And I can't just think that about a service and not give a review. She was great with details - for example, I normally don't like the shoulder part of the massage because my skin gets pinched, or the pressure is too much. She did it perfectly and I enjoyed it. Also, she understood my level of pressure.
I tried their new Rejuveheat for the first time and am now a big fan. I was concerned it might get too hot; it didn't. It was the perfect temp for me. And I got relief from arthritis pain; I felt great!

I've been getting regular massages here for nearly 2 years and have no plans to stop. Aubrey is an amazing massage therapist. I'm a runner and lift weights and thought a shoulder that popped and tight hips were normal. Nope! After a few sessions with her, it was amazing how much better I felt. Also, the support staff is extremely friendly. I highly recommend Body Ache Escape!

My first experience here was for a prenatal massage with Dustin. Easily one of the best massages I've ever had. Dustin took his time with each knot and every movement was purposeful and effective. Already booked my next appointment.

An AMAZING session with Daniella! I have had left shoulder pain for several months and not able to lift it without pain. After the massage I was able to lift it straight up without assistance from my other arm! Additionally, it was my first massage that wasn't part of a couple's massage with my wife, and Daniella's personality and sense of humor helped me to relax. My wife had a great session with Morgan as well, and we highly recommend this place. It seems appropriately named!

I work in a very stressful environment and often carry tension in my muscles. One massage with Michele and I truly feel relaxed and ready to face the world. Michele is very knowledgeable of the different muscle groups and truly focuses on the needs of her clients. Michele is absolutely excellent at her job and is truly a one-of-a-kind massage therapist!

After injurying my shoulder and going through physical therapy, I thought I would try the massage route. OH MY GOSH!!! I should have started the massages sooner. Michele is the best. I was really impressed with the knowledge she has and how she took the time to research my injury. I have been going now for 6 months and it has made a tremendous difference in how my shoulder feels. Michele truly cares about all her clients--she makes you feel like you are the only one.
