About the Therapist

Karen Krautscheid is a licensed massage therapist serving Beaverton and surrounding areas with mobile massage and chair massage for businesses and parties.  She also works in Beaverton for Integrity Chiropractic Clinic, performing studio massage for various clients and patients.

​

Some of the conditions and clients she has been fortunate enough to work with include: Cross-fit athletes, runners, Parkinson's, Guillianne Barre, Hyperflexibility, Auto Accident cases, Joint Pain and Impingements for Shoulders, Hips, and Knees,  Headaches, Back Pain, and General Relaxation for bodies that are just tired.

​

Techniques she commonly uses, depending on the particular case and desires of the client include:

​

Positional Release Therapy, which is the opposite of stretching and painlessly releases areas of tenderness that have often been unresolved areas of complaint

​

Muscle Energy Techniques which involve contraction of a muscle against resistance to facilitate release of proprioceptors and allow for greater ability to lengthen and relax the muscles.

​

Myofascial Release and Cupping may also be used to help realign tissue and help return optimal range of motion.

​

Swedish Massage is often incorporated with other techniques or can be used alone to allow for greater blood flow to the muscles and increased response of the parasympathetic nervous system among other physiological benefits and overall offers relaxing relief to the body.

​

Further continuing her education, she is also studying Neurokinetic Therapy to provide further healing and increased function to her clients and patients.
