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.

Movement Improvement Massage 156 Google reviews Terrie Durand2025-10-02 Josh Pugh of Movement Improvement is a gift to those who suffer from chronic pain. He goes above & beyond when dealing with clients with different ailments. On my visit today I went in in severe pain. I wanted to cry as he started working. By the end of my session, I was relieved from the majority of my pain. Thank you so much for your services Josh. Shana Marie S.2025-09-11 My massage therapist, Michael Nash, is a “Gift” to anyone in need of healing and pain relief. Michael is very caring and nurturing and is by far the best massage therapist I have ever worked with. I am so thankful to have found Michael and I will schedule with him again and again. Just a wonderful person. I highly recommend. Catherine Cox2025-08-24 Josh is fantastic! I was on vacation with two ribs out of place, in considerable pain. He worked me into his schedule and fixed me. What a relief! I have been pain-free ever since. Thank you Josh! Skin Shrimp2025-08-01 Absolutely incredible staff. Kaylyn was able to provide headache relief that I didn't even know was possible. Her knowledge clearly comes from years of specialized training in pain‑management massage. You Rock! Thank you so much. o.O Cachet Kirby2025-04-30 I always enjoy coming in for my massage and seeing Jana and Sierra up front. Everyone is very kind and welcoming!
