Why get a Massage?
What exactly is Therapeutic Bodywork?
If you've ever gotten a Massage or experienced a professional bodywork session, you probably know some of the benefits...
Reducing stress, Lowering blood pressure, Increasing joint range-of-motion, Decreasing joint tension and pain, Improving posture, Increasing circulation, Oxygenating muscle and connective tissue, Decreasing muscle aches and pains (and agonizing muscle spasms), Reducing inflammation, Easing head and neck tension that lead to headaches and migraines, Improving immunity, Renewing energy, Taking some much-needed "Me time" to escape from the hectic pace of life. There's more (in technical terms),
but these are the biggies.
Why From Inside Out and not a big day spa or a chain?
the benefits...
More scheduling flexibility, Prices and deals that the bigger day spas just can't afford to sustain, No requirements for membership, No monthly visit requirements, No gimmicks or
catches, Tipping is optional and there aren't any built-in gratuities, All deals are plainly stated, No employees so you can build that individualized relationship with one highly-skilled LMT, Truly customized sessions, Results that tend to last longer than traditional "routine-oriented" sessions, Experienced (intuitive) hands that can better decipher subtle differences in tissues and textures, and a tranquil atmosphere without the distractions of other practitioners or crowd noise.
Erika's extensive background and training allows her to intuitively care for your tired, stressed muscles by identifying areas of pain, tension and restriction. She will work within your comfort level, focusing on areas that need special attention, and as she works you, too, will become more aware of your body's hidden areas of tension and limitations.
After even an hour, clients often describe their session as a real learning experience, and they leave this tranquil Wilsonville space with their bodies feeling more limber and open and their minds more at ease. Erika is skilled in both massage and bodywork, and, yes, there is a difference, which she will be more than happy to explain. Her style is an integrative approach, utilizing various advanced-level techniques to best help her clients restore movement, flexibility and balance to their bodies.

"Thanks for the wonderful help that you have given me. You have a very special talent that helps so many." -P.M.
"Thank you, Erika! I am always grateful that the massages I receive from you are therapeutic and not just a relaxing experience. Thanks for not being a "fluff and buff" massage therapist. I appreciate the therapeutic approach and education I receive on stretching, etc." -D.D.
"Fabulous Skin Care and Bodywork!! I began going to Erika for her wonderful facials and skincare treatments in 2003. As a result , I became aware of her training, extensive study, deep interest, and whole-hearted commitment to all aspects of therapeutic bodywork. In addition to her intelligent, warm and professional manner, Erika is also a highly intuitive therapist. As a professional musician, I spend long hours sitting while playing and teaching. Erika has kept me flexible and functioning as a violinist. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" -C.S.
"Thank you so much and just as soon as I am able, I am coming back to you! I felt SO much better the next day and the days following. You truly have a gift!!!" -L.E.
"I have yet to plan a trip to Oregon, but I will not cross the state line without making an appointment with you! My neck felt so good after your great work!" -L.E.
"Just wanted to thank you truly...you go the extra mile. I can tell you have a passion for what you do, and you really are good at it! Nothing I have ever experienced before...I am so happy because I feel already so much better. Just a big fan, and no need to keep hunting for the perfect massage anymore! You're it! Thanks!" -Kr. H.
"Located just eight miles from the Inn, Erika Knepper, licensed massage therapist, gives one of the best massages in Portland hands down. Her passion to help people understand the why's of their aches and pains or simply just to relax in quiet enjoying an amazing, soothing massage, one will be pleasantly surprised to find just how wonderful her massages are!" -Kr.H., Co-Owner of The DreamGiver's Inn Bed & Breakfast in Newburg, OR (www.dreamgiversinn.com)
"Thanks, Erika! I've started doing the stretches after my workout and that will be 5 times a week, sometimes more. You're right, this is not easy...I've never been very limber. I can tell a difference since I saw you. Thanks again." -D.Z.
"Clearly, I really need to have this kind of work done at least once a month. What a difference a session made!" -B.B.
"Thanks, Erika! I feel like I actually have separate body parts now. I did not realize how locked up I was. You do good work!!" -La.M.
"Hi Erika! Just wanted you to know that the day after you worked on my back, it was FINE. It was as if it was not hurting at all! You are amazing! Thank you very much!" -K.C.
"If you have that annoying muscle tension, cramp or deep soreness that no other Massage Therapist seems to be able to resolve, please call Erika. I mean it. Call her right now. Erika's expertise goes beyond deep tissue massage (which is excellent) and extends into Rolfing (Google it). I have been amazed at the manner in which this form of muscular manipulation doesn't just give me temporary relief, but helps to overcome long-term pain. Stiffness from a car accident, sore neck from too many hours at a desk, leg cramps that show up for no reason...I have found huge relief in Erika's care. Once you work with Erika (whose breadth and depth of knowledge about the muscular skeleton and how it works is amazing in itself), you will be hooked. Now whenever I put in too many hunched over the desk hours or I'm not vigilant about my posture, I know I can go see Erika, and come out feeling like a new person. Plus, she's a nice person. And her prices are ridiculously reasonable. Go see her, You will be SO glad you did!" -Le.M
