💬 Q&A with Jessica Deardorff of Inspire Movements Massage Therapy

Q1: Why is professional photography important for building trust in a therapeutic wellness practice?

In massage therapy, especially in specialties that are less common like Ashiatsu Massage, and cupping therapy targeting low back pain relief, prospective clients need to see exactly what to expect when coming into Inspire Movements Massage Therapy. High-quality visuals communicate safety, certifications, professionalism, and the therapeutic intent behind the massage. Whether I’m treating sciatica, chronic migraines, or post car accident related pain, that first visual impression often sets the tone for lasting trust. In Colorado Springs, trust is everything. That is why the Ashiatsu Massage and cupping therapy needs to be displayed to show that we are not the stereotypical massage clinic. We are therapeutic focused practice.

Q2: How does visual storytelling help people understand what Ashiatsu or cupping therapy really is?

Ashiatsu Massage is a modality many people haven’t experienced. It is not something you’d expect just walking into any therapeutic practice. Ashiatsu Massage is deeply therapeutic. A well-captured photo during massage sessions can showcase technique, depth, and strength without needing a word. The same is true for cupping therapy! Without visual context, cupping might look intimidating! Many people fear the bruises they saw on Olympian Athletes and those deep bruises, are not always the case. Here, the photos help communicate the clinical purpose and pain-relief benefits approach we take here at Inspire Movements Massage Therapy. It’s about creating an environment where clarity and confidence can meet.

Q3: What emotions or values do you try to convey in your massage studio photos?

Calm confidence. Therapeutic strength. Functional design. At Inspire Movements Massage Therapy, this studio isn’t about a spa. This is a place meant for real recovery. From red light therapy for inflammation to deep active release work for low back issues, every inch of our space is created with clinical care in mind for you. I want visuals of Inspire Movements Massage Therapy that say, “You’re in quality care. You are in strong, knowledgeable hands.”

Q4: What are some misconceptions about therapeutic massage that photography can clear up?

First and foremost, I am not working with my hands. I need people to see I utilize Ashiatsu techniques primarily in my practice. A lot of people also misconstrue “massage = pampering.” That’s not what Inspire Movements Massage Therapy practices. Our clients are nurses, educators, tech industry workers, small business owners, post-surgery patients, and busy moms. These types of people are always dealing with daily pain such as headaches, sciatica, tech-neck, and shoulder stiffness. Many of these, day-to-day workers aren’t made aware of the help and benefits they can receive from a high quality massage. When they can see that Ashiatsu massage and cupping therapy represents a functional quality care tools, it shifts the narrative from fluff massage to fix.

Q5: How has working with a photographer shaped your brand?

Jerry at Siroky Photography captured what most stock photos can’t, the quality of care I can bring to the table. The strength and credibility behind my therapeutic work feels shown in the pictures Jerry captures. His images have amplified my brand online across all platforms including Google Business Profile, Instagram, Facebook, and all of my blog posts. He was able to capture the work that I do without losing the quality of clinical massages. That balance between polished and powerful is everything when promoting a business, and Jerry has captured that each time I have brought him on.
