About

I have been practicing sports oriented deep tissue massage therapy combined with Active Release Technique (ART) for over 10 years. I recently graduated from University of Western States with degrees in Chiropractic and Sports Medicine, this program has strengthened my skills in anatomy, assessment, and my abilities to get to the root of the problem on more complex issues. However, I am still primarily focused on tissue work as I see great value in this modality. In my treatments, I strive to make a direct change in the muscle tissue, listening with my hands to find the right depth, pressure, tension, friction, etc to feel a melting, twitching or change in the body's soft tissues. Listening for this response in the tissue tells me how deep to go on each individual, or in different areas on the same body.Chris Brindley learned his trade of deep tissue massage on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. Originally from Northern VA, Chris moved to Portland in 2008 and over the last few years has been optimizing his skills in Active Release Technique (ART). He is now a full-body certified provider of ART and attending University of Western States for a Degree in Chiropractic. Weekend appointments available for Massage Therapy.
