Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has been used for centuries as a powerful healing modality, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It works by manipulating the body's soft tissues—muscles, tendons, and ligaments—to enhance circulation, relieve tension, and support the body's natural healing processes.

Oby Iverson LMT
Cupping, Top Surgery Balancing, Traditional Massage

I studied at East West College here in Portland. Graduated in 2014. While there, I focused on Tuina (for eastern style) and Structural (for western style). At the time, I resonated more with eastern modalities, so after school I immediately did another elective to focus on Thai massage. Since then, my Deep Tissue style has been heavily influence by these more eastern techniques.
