Meet Our Owner

Gabriel Vydra, LMT

Owner, Rooted Wellness of Columbus

After spending time living abroad and doing physical rehabilitation with soldiers and children with developmental disabilities, I fell in love with the physical art of massage and how it can be used to help others reach their full potential.

I returned to the US in 2009 and enrolled in the American Institute of Alternative Medicine and began my practice.

I specialize in therapeutic massage. My expertise is typically sought by athletes and those suffering pain from injuries, fatigue, and stress. I bring my varied experiences and in-depth knowledge of the human body to provide my clients with a holistic treatment approach.

We focus on sustainable well-being, ensuring that every session contributes to long-term vitality, resilience, and aging well. Through intentional, life-enriching care, we empower our clients to move, feel, and live better—because true wellness should be as enjoyable as it is effective.

NeuroKinetic Therapy

A form of manual muscle testing that is based on the premise that when an injury occurs, certain muscles become inhibited, forcing other muscles to become overworked. This technique is designed to break the cycle of constantly releasing the same tight muscles, breaking compensation patterns, and rebalancing the body.

I had a 10-minute session with Gabriel, an incredible massage therapist who focused on my upper back pain. He provided thorough education on how to continue treating it and even gave me valuable information about insoles for my shoes and finding a chiropractor covered by my insurance. His expertise, care, and guidance was exceptional. I highly recommend this therapist for anyone seeking relief from back pain. Thank you for the outstanding service and knowledge—I am grateful for the positive impact you made on my well-being!

We spoke about what my goals and needs were from the appointment and he explained everything I had questions about before I had to ask them, making me feel like was very knowledgeable.

The actual massage was very unique. His skill of finding where all of your troubled areas were, and knowing how to work out knots and tension with force while talking you through breath work and professional education that made you feel comfortable, was a talent.

If you struggle with chronic pain, on going injury, or are looking for a a relaxing massage for stress management, I highly recommended a massage from Gabriel.

Gabriel did a quick appointment but was very thorough and really got into some of my trouble areas and adhesions. If you don’t like heavy pressure let him know. Also he is very social and talked to me throughout but so am I chatty so I enjoyed the distraction as he worked on the tender areas. I definitely recommend him as a massage therapist.
