Ottertail Therapeutic Massage

Ottertail Therapeutic Massage Healing chronic pain through the power of massage therapy and helping therapists master deep tissue techniques without straining their hands.

Hi, I'm Leah Davis, and I'm passionate about helping people heal from pain through the transformative power of massage therapy! I've also recently launched an online course designed to train massage therapists in using their knuckles, elbows, and forearms to deliver exceptional massages while preserving their hands. Over the years, I was surprised to see how rarely therapists use these powerful tools for deep pressure, often leading to injury and burnout. That's why I'm committed to sharing the techniques I've mastered to help others in the field thrive. Together, we can show the world just how incredible massage therapy can be. Since graduating from massage school in 2006, I've specialized in medical massage and dedicated my career to helping people recover from specific pain issues. My journey started at a community fitness center, where I worked with clients of all ages, many dealing with sports injuries or chronic pain. After seven years, I transitioned to a hospital therapy department, where I honed my skills alongside chiropractors, physical and occupational therapists, and personal trainers. In April 2022, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening Ottertail Therapeutic Massage out of my home. Specializing in chronic pain and repetitive use injuries, this venture has been incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help my clients heal while also being more present for my family.

Hot take for massage therapists 👀
Faster doesn’t mean better.

You don’t need lightening speed hands.
You don’t need to learn a million modalities.
And you definitely don’t need to exhaust yourself to impress clients.

Quality over quantity every time.

When you learn how to deliver effective deep tissue correctly, slow intentional, and specific… your clients feel real results!

They rebook again and again.

And your body isn’t wrecked at the end of the day.

Great massage isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually works.

Massage therapists… what do you think… noogie or massage? 👀😆

This is why I do what I do ❤️

Watching Erin step into confidence, protect her body, and shift her mindset reminded me that massage therapy isn’t just about techniques, it’s about how we care for ourselves while serving others.

So many therapists are working hard, pushing through pain, and giving everything they have… without realising there’s a better, healthier way to do this work.

When you slow down, focus on quality over quantity, improve your body mechanics, and keep god at the center, everything changes.

Your work feels lighter
Your boundaries get clearer,
Your confidence grows,
And your clients feel it.

Your body is your greatest tool, and it deserves care too.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to stop hurting and start working smarter, you’re not alone.

Hands up if you relate 😂 what do you do, that you’d only understand if you’re a massage therapist?

Once you know, it never turns off.

We probably should get better at our between client snacks though 😅

Part 3 coming 👀 what should we compare next?

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

So many massage therapists accept sore hands, aching wrists, and elbow pain as ‘part of the job’… but it doesn’t have to be.

When you learn how to use your legs, core and body weight properly, deep tissue becomes easier - and your body stops paying the price.

The goal isn’t to work harder.
It’s to work smarter and still give incredible pressure.
