What we offer

We aren’t a spa. We’re not a chain. We are an independently owned practice devoted to true therapeutic massage therapy. Our mission is to create a safe, restorative space where you can step away from stress and step into healing.

Ashiatsu

If you’ve never experienced Ashiatsu, it’s unlike any massage you’ve had before. Sometimes called “the deepest, most luxurious massage,” this barefoot technique allows the therapist to use gravity, body weight, and carefully controlled pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle without discomfort.
Benefits of Ashiatsu include:


  • Deep, broad pressure that melts away stubborn knots
  • Increased circulation and mobility
  • Relief from chronic back and shoulder pain
  • A deeply grounding, calming experience


Tucson clients often describe Ashiatsu as both powerful and meditative—a reset for both body and mind.

Cory McVenes

LMT Massage Therapist #20666
Cory’s introduction to massage therapy began at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, where he built a strong foundation in therapeutic bodywork. In 2015, he moved to Oregon to advance his training at The Naga Center, studying closely with Nephyr Jacobsen. After finishing his education, Cory traveled to Thailand to expand his experience and deepen his understanding of Traditional Thai massage techniques. In 2019, he obtained his Ashiatsu certification and later completed master-level training, leading to his role as a Deep Feet Instructor in Tucson, Arizona.

Cory has worked in spa settings as well as in professional collaboration with chiropractors. In 2021, he opened his private practice in Portland, Oregon, and has since added a second location in Tucson, Arizona, splitting his time between both cities. He enjoys combining a range of modalities and tools within his sessions to deliver effective, individualized results for his clients.

Values and Principles

True change begins with presence. Inner Escape Bodywork is built on the understanding that the mind and body function as a unified whole. Through the combination of skilled therapeutic techniques and a calm, grounding atmosphere, each session is designed to support meaningful, lasting change. This is not a traditional spa focused on quick fixes. Instead, the work is deliberate and purposeful, offering bodywork that:

  • Aids in recovery from pain and physical strain
  • Promotes sustainable movement and alignment
  • Invites deep relaxation and nervous system reset

The intention is simple: to help clients experience an inner escape—a space where the body is cared for and the mind can settle into clarity and ease.

A few nice words from our guests

have been to several diKerent massage therapists over the years and none hold a candle to my experience at Inner Escape Bodywork. Cory is calming, eager to listen, a master of numerous techniques and tools, persistent with stubborn aches/pains, and passionate
about his work.
Molly
In a city awash with options for massage, Cory is a must try! He treats the body like a puzzle he's eager to solve, rather than going through predictable motions by rote. A unique experience in a relaxing and sometimes moody setting
Erin
What truly sets Cory apart is his ability to blend various techniques to address both physical and emotional tension. He creates a safe, nurturing environment where it’s easy to release stuck emotions that I didn’t even realize were trapped in my body. His deep care and attention to both my physical and emotional well-being have made each session feel truly transformative.
