Workers Compensation Massage | Eugene Oregon
If you’ve been injured on the job, and your body still isn’t back to normal, you’re not alone.
You followed the plan.
You went to the doctor.
You tried physical therapy.
You showed up for every appointment.
But your body still isn’t working the way it used to.
Maybe your neck tightens up the moment you sit down. Maybe your low back flares up halfway through the day. Maybe you can’t lift, reach, or rotate without something catching or hurting. You’re not lazy. You’re not exaggerating. You’re still recovering from something real.
This is care built for the phase after the paperwork
At Movement Improvement, we understand what happens when your injury becomes “old news” to the system, but still feels like new pain in your body. You’re cleared to return to work, but not back to full function. That’s where we come in.
Our job is to help you recover beyond the bare minimum.
We listen. We assess. We treat the movement patterns that got disrupted during the injury. We also work closely with your referring physician or provider to make sure everything stays documented and above board.
What to Expect From Workers' Comp Massage
This isn’t just relaxation. It’s clinical bodywork with a purpose: to restore range, reduce compensation, and get you feeling more capable again.
Here’s how we do that:
Initial Intake – We review your injury, your restrictions, and your goals
Movement-Informed Massage – We use manual therapy techniques designed for tissue recovery, not just comfort
Progress Tracking – We communicate with your referring provider as needed and track your progress as your body changes
Session Options – 60 or 90 minutes based on your approved referral
Who We Help
Workers recovering from shoulder, back, or neck injuries
Individuals who feel stuck in the “approved care loop” without real progress
Clients referred by physicians or case managers for soft tissue therapy
People who want to return to work without tension, pain, or limited range
We Work With Oregon Workers’ Compensation Claims
Our team has experience working with Oregon’s workers’ comp system. We handle the paperwork, communicate with your provider, and follow your referral closely so you don’t have to manage the process alone.
If you’re unsure whether massage is covered under your current claim, we can help you verify it.
What Makes This Different
Most workers’ comp massage is passive.
Ours is not.
We aren’t just here to rub tight areas and send you home. We’re here to understand why your body is still holding onto pain and create a plan to change that.
Our therapists combine hands-on treatment with movement strategy, helping you restore function and build real confidence in your body again.
Here's What People Are Saying
Movement Improvement Massage 143 Google reviews Kimberly Carver2025-03-12 Best massage ever. In just one hour , Mike had the pain shooting down my leg relieved and the pain in my neck and shoulders / biceps resolved. It’s temporary of course since it’s my first time but I’m so grateful for the relief right now. Brought my pain from a 6/7 to a 2! I’ll be back weekly to help keep my muscles in this state and then I can go further out after that to keep my muscles happy. So very happy to finally find a place and masseuse that knows what they’re doing for my specific issues and not just a one time thing to make you feel relief for a day. Front office is also great and pleasant to work with. They take insurance too! So glad my doctor referred me to them. Zach Ropp2025-03-08 The whole team from check-in to the therapists are all genuine, approachable and relational in their care for clients. John is excellent to work with, engaging in whatever goals you have in striving for improvement in whatever area needs work. Sessions are tailored to you with open communication the whole time.

Jennifer McKeon2025-02-12 Abe was very thorough. Before we started we made a “map” so I knew what to expect, which is so helpful when you have chronic pain. He checked in to make sure pressure was good. Excellent massage! Renée L2025-02-04 Jody was thorough, empathetic, and knowledgeable! The massage was wonderful and she responded to questions and concerns. Overall, great company! katie anthone2025-02-03 Loved my first appt! R Y2025-01-30 Movement improvement and Josie have improved the quality of my life exponentially! The front office staff is wonderful and they make you feel truly valued and appreciated. It’s not just because you’re a customer. It’s because they’re genuinely kind and lovely people. I can’t believe there’s a whole practice with everyone being a therapeutic massage therapist and wow, what a difference! If you want relief that lasts, this is where you need to come. I Just finished my second session with Josie and I simply cannot express enough how unbelievably skilled she is. I went in with excruciating pain and extremely limited mobility and a limp and I left with none of those and feeling relief I haven’t felt in years. I have had no less than 40 massage therapists all over the world throughout my life and she is by far one of the top three. She is extremely caring, knowledgeable and intuitive and passionate about helping you feel better not just in the moment but every day. She possesses this unique and incredible combination and I am beyond grateful and thoroughly impressed. If you are in pain or need improvement with your movement, , this is the place to come and Josie is the person to do it. I have heard that the other therapists here are talented as well, but I don’t personally know about them; however, I tell you that Josie is a life-changing savant who is one of the top in her field in the world.
