Lake Oswego, OR Spa and Massage

Colette Chavez Walker listens with her hands. As they glide over sore bodies during deep-tissue and Thai massages, her hands intuitively follow and react to shifting and fading tensions. To teach her hands this ability, she studied with massage masters from various parts of the world. To learn Hawaiian-style mana lomi massage, she traveled to the islands and apprenticed with a native Hawaiian practitioner. To learn orthopedic massages, she studied under the tutelage of James Waslaski, the founder of the technique.

Though her hands never seem to get tired or run out of claps, Colette occasionally transfers them from physical work to pure energy manipulation. During reiki sessions, she applies her more than 10 years of experience to balance the body's chakras and promote healing.

The team of experienced therapists at Rebound Massage Therapy and Sports Wellness treat all of their clients with the same care they would show to a professional athlete. They design each of their massages with the end result in mind: depending on their individual clients, they might rely on relaxing Swedish strokes, stretching kneads, or trigger-point techniques that train muscles to kick their bad habits.
