Medical Massage Therapy Portland Oregon

Medical Massage Therapy

We are a collaborative group of massage therapists who do transformative bodywork specializing in pain reduction and elimination for muscular-related conditions. East Bridge Massage was founded by Clare Katner, an Oregonian who is passionate about helping people heal. Influenced by a family of western medical providers, she was inspired to approach massage therapy from a medical perspective.
