Sports Massage Bend, Oregon
Performance Support, Injury Prevention, and Recovery for Active Bodies
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a weekend hiker, or simply committed to a movement-based lifestyle, your body carries the demands of physical activity every day. At Be Inspired to Grow in Bend, Oregon, I offer sports massage therapy to support muscular health, recovery, and performance longevity in a safe, therapeutic setting.
Sports massage is not just for elite athletes. It’s for anyone who uses their body regularly and wants to move with greater freedom, efficiency, and ease.
What Is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a focused, outcome-oriented form of therapeutic bodywork designed to prevent injury, relieve muscle soreness, support recovery, and improve performance.
Unlike general relaxation massage, sports massage includes techniques such as:
Deep tissue massage
Active or passive stretching
Trigger point therapy
Myofascial release
Range of motion testing and joint mobilization
Sessions are tailored to your activity level, goals, and any current or past injuries. Whether you're preparing for an event, dealing with repetitive strain, or recovering from intense training, this work supports your body’s healing and adaptation process.
Who Benefits From Sports Massage?
This modality is ideal for individuals who:
Run, cycle, ski, or hike regularly
Strength train or participate in fitness classes
Experience chronic or acute overuse injuries
Are you preparing for or recovering from athletic events
Have tightness, imbalance, or asymmetry from repeated movement
Need to restore movement quality after injury or surgery
Common Focus Areas in Sports Massage
Sports massage can support a wide range of movement-related concerns, including:
IT band tension
Rotator cuff or shoulder dysfunction
Low back or hip stiffness
Shin splints and calf strain
Knee instability
Neck and upper trap tightness
Postural compensation from repetitive movement
Limited joint mobility or range of motion
What to Expect in a Session?
Sports massage at Be Inspired to Grow is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Each session begins with an intake to review your physical activity, injury history, and current goals.
Treatment may be done on specific muscle groups or include full-body work, depending on your level of activity and recovery needs. I use a range of techniques to target specific areas of tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility.
Sessions are available in 60- or 90-minute formats and may include guided breathing, stretching, or simple movement practices for post-session care.
Why Clients Choose Sports Massage at Be Inspired to Grow
My approach to sports massage is grounded in anatomy, intuition, and a deep respect for each client’s physical and emotional process. This isn’t clinical or aggressive work — it’s thoughtful, informed therapy that supports your body’s long-term resilience and function.
Clients appreciate having a consistent, knowledgeable therapist who understands the demands of an active lifestyle and provides care that evolves with their needs.

“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.”
Lisa M.
“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!”
