Expert Medical Massage for Targeted Pain Relief

While traditional massage focuses on full-body relaxation, Medical Massage is a results-oriented therapy specifically designed to resolve complex conditions and alleviate severe pain. Ideal for managing chronic pain conditions like sciatica, recovering from a recent surgery, or dealing with repetitive strain injuries.

At PNW Pain Relief & Prenatal Massage, owner and lead therapist April Lumley (LMT) applies advanced clinical techniques to address the root cause of your discomfort. She focuses on restoring your mobility, reducing inflammation, and helping you regain your quality of life safely and naturally.

Meet Your Clinical Massage Specialist

I’m April, a Licensed Massage Therapist with a deep passion for clinical, outcome-based bodywork. I understand the frustration of living with chronic pain, and I know exactly what it takes to help your body heal from complex issues.

  • 20+ Years of Experience: I have an extensive understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy, allowing me to pinpoint exactly where your pain originates and apply the most effective techniques for lasting relief.

  • Outcome-Based Treatment Plans: I don't use a one-size-fits-all routine but instead use a precise blend of Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Deep Tissue techniques tailored strictly to your medical needs and healing goals.

  • A Safe, Restorative Environment: My Gresham clinic is a quiet, welcoming space designed to help your body downregulate and accept deep clinical work without unnecessary guarding or pain.

How Our Medical Massage Process Works

Our goal is to create a clear, effective path to recovery that works in harmony with your overall healthcare plan.

  1. Comprehensive Assessment: We start by discussing your specific symptoms, health history, and any diagnoses or recommendations from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor.

  2. Targeted Treatment: Your session will be heavily focused on the specific areas of your body causing the issue, along with compensating muscles, rather than a general full-body routine.

  3. Ongoing Evaluation: We continually monitor your progress, adjusting the depth, techniques, and frequency of your sessions to ensure you are moving steadily toward recovery.

How Medical Massage Insurance & Billing Works

We strive to make your healing process as stress-free as possible by partnering with Astro Medical Billing [(503) 492-2815] to handle insurance claims and billing. For Medical Massage to be covered by your health insurance, your specific policy must include massage therapy benefits.

  1. Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield

  2. United Healthcare

  3. Providence

  4. HSA/FSA

Please note: Our accepted in-network insurance providers may change from time to time. Please contact us to confirm your specific provider.

Before you begin treatment, we will run a verification of benefits on your policy. This ensures we both know exactly what your plan covers, how many visits you are allowed, and if you are responsible for any copays or deductibles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Massage

What is the difference between Medical Massage and a Swedish or Deep Tissue massage?

  • While Swedish and Deep Tissue massages are fantastic for general stress and muscle tension, Medical Massage is specifically focused on treating a diagnosed medical condition or specific injury. It is highly targeted, outcome-based, and often involves specialized clinical techniques to improve function and reduce pain in a specific area.

What types of conditions can Medical Massage treat?

  • Medical massage is highly effective for a wide range of issues, including sciatica, frozen shoulder, TMJ dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome, post-surgical scar tissue, tension headaches, and chronic lower back or neck pain.

Do I need a prescription from a doctor to book a Medical Massage?

  • If we are billing your health insurance, yes. Insurance companies require a valid prescription or referral from your doctor or chiropractor that includes specific medical diagnosis codes and the number of sessions prescribed.
