I received a very good deep tissue massage. I could feel improvement right away with a low back issue. The following day was even better! Thanks!

Kelly literally made my by back feel 12/10 times better in just 60 minutes. I'd 12/10 recommend him and Bodywork of Bend for massage therapy.

I very much enjoy the attention to detail that I get from Kelly when massaging different parts. He massages in a way that can actually help my pain points feel better and will provide lasting results for the next few days.

Kelly listened to my concerns and goals for my session and incorporated everything really well into the massage. His technique is amazing, and he released tension I have not been able to get rid of in a very long time. Being my first deep tissue massage, I did not know what to expect and would have liked more information about pressures and effects afterwards. All around an incredible experience though and I will be going back!
