Inflammation & Restoration: How Food and Massage Work Together
PRESS Modern Massage x Solette
At PRESS Modern Massage, we know that stress and inflammation are deeply connected, not just in the body, but in the way we move through our days. Tight shoulders, headaches, bloating, fatigue - they’re all different ways the body tries to tell us something’s out of balance.
That’s why we’re thrilled to collaborate with Solette for this special post on reducing inflammation through both nourishment and recovery. Whether it’s tension built from too many hours at a desk or inflammation triggered by stress and lifestyle, relief often comes when we address both: what we put into our bodies and how we help them reset.
Massage therapy can play a powerful role here. By improving circulation, lowering cortisol, and calming the nervous system, massage supports the body’s natural ability to heal and recover, helping to break the cycle of chronic inflammation and tension. It’s not just relaxation; it’s restoration from the inside out.
And when you pair that with anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich meals that support your system from within? That’s where balance begins to take shape.
Inflammation often starts quietly. It’s driven by stress, sugar, processed foods, or simply not giving your body the nutrients it needs to recover. At Solette, our chefs help calm that inflammation through food designed to soothe your system.
We focus on meals that stabilize blood sugar, reduce oxidative stress, and nourish the gut. These are all key levers in lowering inflammation long term. That means balanced plates rich in omega-3s, colorful produce full of antioxidants, clean proteins, and spices like turmeric and cinnamon that naturally support the body’s healing response.
Think:
Wild salmon baked with harissa and cherry tomatoes;
Tumeric-roasted carrots tossed with farro and pistachios;
Hearty lentil stews with garlic, ginger and leafy greens.
With Solette, your chefs will work with your specific goals and preferences. You get to decide exactly what you want to eat, and your chefs prepare it from scratch in the comfort of your kitchen. No plastic, no preservatives, just real food that works quietly in the background to help you feel clearer, calmer, and more resilient day to day.
Together, Solette and PRESS are redefining what it means to take care. From the food that fuels you to the hands that help you release what you no longer need.
