Muscles +HEART Fitness Lab

With over 20 years of experience and continuous education, we integrate advanced kinesiology into our massages, allowing us to consider the kinetic chain in therapeutic outcomes. In addition to traditional massage benefits like relaxation and structural therapy, we prioritize holistic experiences by targeting problem areas while addressing the entire body. Our Medical Fitness therapies follow physical therapy protocol, recommending comfortable stretchy clothing to enhance your therapeutic experience.

Unless it’s a specific service-related session, such as coaching or training, our sessions provide a holistic experience encompassing all aspects of medical fitness, including an assessment, tailored health-related discussions, and a massage. We prioritize quality care over traditional quantity-based models. New clients start with a comprehensive 2-hour intake session to establish a baseline before moving forward with their objectives. While traditional massages are often 60 minutes, we have found that 90 minutes is more effective for subsequent sessions. As you progress, additional time options ranging from 30 to 75 minutes become available.

During your session, we allocate time to address all aspects of medical fitness therapy, including health-related discussions, an assessment, and what clients call ‘magical bodywork.’ We start with a brief coaching check-in to gauge your progress and experiences on your healing journey. Then, while we get to know your needs, each session begins with a FIT FLEX range of motion assessment. This visual diagnosis helps identify necessary coaching cues for the exercise prescription and any ‘kinks in the links’, guiding the bodywork portion for optimal results.

Yes, clients can choose packages that align with their goals, offering the best pricing structure for their health investment. Bulk options are available for each service type to help you achieve your objectives. Details can be found on our pricing page. Bundled packages encourage frequency to expedite the healing process and achieve the most effective results toward your objectives. New clients can apply the cost of their first session toward a package. Our entry-level frequency discount package includes 3 sessions scheduled within 10-14 days.

Our founder, Casey, was inspired by personal experiences after falling through the cracks of a broken medical system. Encouraged by mentors, she began her journey as a massage therapist to cover medical bills through trade work before eventually obtaining a college degree in emerging medical sciences from Portland State University. Determined to become the practitioner she needed, Casey designed a rehabilitation program for her senior project, later transforming it into her life’s work. This journey led to the creation of MH Fit Lab and FIT FLEX, offering a path of recovery where none existed before.

Medical Fitness is an innovative therapy that explores healthy lifestyle practices. It encompasses fitness training tailored to my physical capabilities, health coaching addressing my personal journey, and massage therapy to support both my mental and physical well-being as I navigate these challenges. Essentially, it serves as a personal coach and support system to keep me engaged for the long haul.
