About Me

 My name is Cory Sowell. I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist in the Athens/Madison/Huntsville area of North Alabama since December 2020. Formerly, I worked in autobody paint and supply in Huntsville for 10 years in one capacity or another. In 2015, I injured my back. This is why they say, "Lift with your legs."

 I'm often asked by clients, "How I got into massage?"

It started with trying to find a good, licensed massage therapist in the area for the back pain I was experiencing. I found it very difficult to find the right practitioner at an affordable price. I needed deep tissue therapy and regularly.  This requires a very capable LMT.  I noticed not all massages we're "created equal".

Like most, I had some amateur experience with the subject matter.

In the spring of 2017, I had decided to finally try a new approach to achieving a better work-life balance. I was not interested in working around volatile chemicals anymore. I wanted to grow as a person. I dreamed of running my own business for years. I had managed a mid-sized business for another company for 7 years combined.  The idea was introduced to me, and it grew from there.  After 8 years of hard work and a ton of experience, It was time to start my own massage joint right in Madison, AL. 

I was privileged to attend the Madison School of Massage Therapy. Professionalism is one of the imperative aspects that LMTs are required, along with patience and listening to the clients. 

I began my career at Salon 921, in Huntsville. This is one of the absolute best salons in Huntsville, I can say this having worked there from June 2021-2023.  Afterwards, I took on a second job in summer 2023.  It was here that I was able to work on hundreds of different people from all walks of life. This gave me a lot of experience and taught me many new valuable strategies for dealing with knotted tissue. The eighteen months spent working here were fantastic. I was then convinced; I needed to strike out on my own. Conveniently located at 8840 Madison Blvd., TPM offers a great spot for a massage. It's a very peaceful and serene atmosphere.

 The approach I take towards the job is very "therapeutic" in nature. Clients should be relaxed, post-session. One of the most important aspects of a good massage session is relaxing all muscles completely to the best of the client's ability. Also, deep breathing is highly encouraged to keep the blood pumping. This is very important to remove tough knotted areas of muscle fibers.  Communication on expectations or adjustments are very important, prior to and after, each session.  The client's comfort, trust, and relaxation are top priority. Feel free to call or text anytime.
