Neuromuscular Massage in Bend, Oregon
Targeted Relief for Chronic Pain, Muscle Dysfunction, and Postural Imbalance
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a highly focused, clinical form of massage designed to assess and address the root causes of muscular pain and dysfunction. At Be Inspired to Grow, I offer neuromuscular massage therapy in Bend, Oregon for individuals experiencing chronic tension, nerve compression, repetitive strain injuries, or postural imbalances.
Using advanced techniques rooted in anatomy, kinesiology, and nervous system regulation, neuromuscular therapy goes beyond general relaxation massage. It is intentional, precise work that helps restore function and relieve long-standing discomfort by targeting specific trigger points, connective tissue restrictions, and faulty movement patterns.
What Is Neuromuscular Massage Therapy?
Neuromuscular Therapy is a specialized form of bodywork that focuses on the relationship between the muscles, nerves, and skeletal system. It involves identifying soft tissue dysfunction, such as trigger points, ischemic areas (poor blood flow), and muscular imbalances that often contribute to pain or limited mobility.
This modality may include:
Sustained pressure on active or latent trigger points.
Myofascial release to reduce restrictions in fascia and connective tissue.
Re-education of muscle patterns to support postural realignment.
Techniques to calm nerve irritation and improve circulation to affected areas.
Conditions Neuromuscular Therapy May Help
This modality is particularly effective for individuals who are experiencing:
Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain
Tension headaches or TMJ dysfunction
Sciatica or nerve impingement
Carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury
Postural distortion or imbalance
Pain following injury or surgery
Limited range of motion
Numbness, tingling, or referred pain
What to Expect in a Session?
Each neuromuscular therapy session begins with a thorough intake and assessment. This may include postural observation, palpation, range of motion testing, and a discussion of your health history and goals.
Treatment focuses on specific areas of dysfunction rather than the whole body. It may involve deeper pressure, friction, or cross-fiber techniques depending on what your body needs. While the pressure can be intense at times, it is always applied mindfully and within your comfort range.
I’ll also incorporate breathing cues, nervous system support, and integration techniques to help your body respond, not resist. This is not about “pushing through pain.” It’s about restoring balance through skilled, focused care.
Why Clients Choose Neuromuscular Therapy at Be Inspired to Grow?
What makes this work different is the integration of body knowledge, therapeutic presence, and personalized support. I combine years of training in anatomy, movement, and mind-body healing with a grounded coaching mindset. Sessions are never rushed or standardized — they’re built around your body’s story.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to correct patterns that have developed over time, this therapy provides a direct yet supportive path to healing.

“I’ve been seeing Katrin for both medical and exercise recovery-related massage for 7+ years. She is an amazing massage therapist and human being. Her bedside madder is top-notch, and she has a very adaptive approach to each session depending on your needs. She is a master at incorporating intra-session biofeedback and knows my body’s strong and weak points better than myself. I always feel refreshed both physically and mentally after every session.”

“I’ve been seeing Katrin for massage therapy for a number of years and she helps relieve the stress and tension I have in my upper body and hip areas. I have tried other massage therapists in the past and no one comes close to the kind, caring, and experience that Katrin offers. She is truly one of kind!!”
Sydney T.
“I received a 1-hour massage with Katrin as a gift from my friend for my birthday. It was hands down the best massage I have ever had! I have never had a massage from someone with such a clear understanding of human physiology, and she was even able to give me recommendations for stretches after our session. I will definitely be coming back!”
