What is massage therapy?
At the North Portland Wellness Center, our skilled massage therapists are experienced, effective body workers. Each massage therapist at the Wellness Center has the experience to treat your acute or chronic pain, sports, work-related or motor vehicle injury while maintaining their own unique style. We offer massage appointments in Portland 6 days a week, accept some insurance plans, and offer a Wellness Membership.
