Therapeutic
Massage & Bodywork

Ashiatsu, Thai, and Custom Care
At Inner Escape Bodywork, we believe massage is more than a luxury—it’s a path to balance, healing, and renewed vitality. With locations in Tucson, Arizona and Portland, Oregon, our studio offers a holistic approach to wellness through a blend of therapeutic massage, Ashiatsu barefoot massage, and Traditional Thai massage. Every session is tailored to your body, your needs, and your journey toward greater health.

Values and Principles

Healing begins with presence. At Inner Escape Bodywork, every session is grounded in the philosophy that mind and body are deeply interconnected. We combine advanced massage techniques with a calm, restorative environment to create space for true healing.

We aren’t a spa with quick treatments. Instead, we offer intentional bodywork that:

  • Supports recovery from pain and injuries
  • Encourages long-term mobility and balance
  • Creates moments of deep, restorative relaxation

Our goal is simple: help you find your inner escape—a space where your body feels supported and your mind feels clear.

Cory McVenes

LMT Massage Therapist #20666
Cory began his career in massage therapy with foundational training at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis. In 2015, he relocated to Oregon to continue his education, studying advanced bodywork techniques under Nephyr Jacobsen at The Naga Center. After completing his studies, Cory traveled to Thailand to further explore and strengthen his knowledge of Traditional Thai massage. In 2019, he earned his Ashiatsu certification and later completed master-level training, eventually becoming a Deep Feet Instructor based in Tucson, Arizona.

Cory has worked in both spa environments and collaborative settings with chiropractors. In 2021, he launched his private practice in Portland, Oregon, and more recently expanded with a second location in Tucson, Arizona, allowing him to split his time between the two cities. He enjoys blending multiple modalities and therapeutic tools into each session to support the best possible outcomes for his clients.

Wow!! The best massage I have ever had, and I’ve had A LOT of them. Cory’s massage oKering is really special, he seems to just know all of the areas that need to be worked on. His mixture of massage techniques is very unique and eKective, the perfect balance of
therapeutic & relaxation.

Cory is fantastic—he really listens to your needs and tailors each session to address them. He uses a combination of techniques specializing in Ashiatsu and adds cupping, scraping, hot stones, and even a heated pad and table. What’s amazing is that all of these are included in the session, whereas most places charge extra for each add-on.
