Late last year I was in an automobile accident with a friend and it left me with pains in the neck, shoulder, and numbing on my hand. I tried a couple places including a local clinic that specialized in physical therapy but they didn’t relieve the pain. I found Zama on Google and instantly had an interest in trying them out. I was not let down and my expectations were met. Within a month I had feeling back in my arm and within two months I was feeling much better. I was sent to Lynn Bukowski, Owner of Zama Massage; she specialized in auto mobile injuries using deep tissue massage. She not only relieved my pain quickly but was super nice and welcoming. Due to this being my first time receiving professional massages, I was nervous and uncomfortable at the idea. But after one session I felt great, comfortable and willing to continue trying it out. She also recommended me to Katelyn Decker, Acupuncturist, who did an amazing job in helping me through this process. Getting poked with needles seemed like a painful, scary idea but Katelyn made the entire process easy and painless. After two months with her I noticed my pains had resided and weren’t as frequent. Now I can say that I am fully recovered leaving this experience with better understanding of alternative methods for injuries and of course, feeling great.

I would definitely recommend Zama Massage and in fact have. After an auto accident things were just not right with my neck, shoulders and upper back. After an initial visit with my primary care physician she recommended massage therapy. I located Zama Massage on the internet and scheduled an appointment with Jarrod. Not only was I impressed with the friendly and professional way I was treated by everyone I came in contact with, the atmosphere at Zama was peaceful and relaxing. Not to mention the massage was amazing!! Jarrod’s expert knowledge of the body and the techniques he used provided immediate and sustained relief. I felt better and better after each session. He always asked how I was feeling and tailored each session accordingly. I referred a co-worker to Zama, purchased a gift certificate for a friend, and plan to return again myself.

I have been lucky enough to visit Zama several times now following a motor vehicle accident that left me with a serious pain in the neck. I have been very impressed by the friendly, professional, and expert massage therapists! I have also been impressed by how knowledgeable all of the massage therapists are. I have learned something important about my body and health during every visit so far. Zama has got it going on!

My experience with Zama Massage was incredible. I was in an auto accident and went to Zama for Swedish massage to work on my injured neck, back, and shoulders. It was amazing to see the progression week-to-week. The staff at Zama is very kind and the atmosphere peaceful. They took my insurance with a breeze and scheduling multiple sessions was easy. I would recommend Zama Massage for anyone in an auto accident, paying through insurance and looking to get healed by experienced professionals.

I’ve been an athlete my whole life and have always demanded a lot from my body. After 16 years in the NBA I realized it is essential for me to get a massage on a regular basis in order to keep myself flexible, healthy, and maintain my competitive edge. Shortly after arriving in Portland I was referred to Lynn Bukowski from Zama Massage, who practices a form of deep tissue massage called Ashiatsu. Lynn’s expert knowledge of the body, joints, stretching and Ashiatsu techniques proved to be exactly what I needed in between games, and I noticed I would recover faster during the weeks I received Ashiatsu. I would definitely recommend Lynn to anyone who is looking for fast recoveries from any form of competition.

“I have scoliosis and as a result suffer from chronic back pain. I gave up on massage a few years ago because I could never find anyone who could deliver the kind of deep and intense therapy that my back needs. Ashiatsu uses traction along the spine lengthening and stretching all the way up. If you have scoliosis or chronic muscle issues, or are an athlete that is tired of weak massages, Ashiatsu will deliver.”

“Staring at a computer screen from my desk for several hours each day, the muscles in my neck, back and legs get very cramped up. At your massage clinic in Portland, the problem areas were quickly analyzed and resolved. The stretching from the Thai massage is truly amazing. I also appreciate the methods you taught to stretch and relax my muscles that I can practice daily or as needed. I feel great and recommend your services to others!”
