Deep Pressure Massage in Portland

Firm, focused work for tense muscles and built-up tension. I'm Corey Blue, LMT #28443, and this is the firmest work I offer at Blue Renew Massage Therapy.

One thing to clear up first, because most people find this page by searching for deep tissue massage. Deep tissue is a specific modality with its own training, and I don't hold that training. What I offer is genuinely firm pressure, guided by 15+ years of working with bodies as a personal trainer. If you want honest, strong work on the muscles that are bothering you, that's exactly what this is. The full breakdown is in my post on deep pressure vs deep tissue massage.

Who Books Deep Pressure

Deep pressure fits people who find light massage unsatisfying: chronic shoulder and neck tension, desk-job tightness, active bodies carrying training soreness. If your shoulders are up by your ears by Friday, this is the session for that.

What a Session Is Like

We start with a short intake about what's tight and how firm you like it. Then I work: sustained, focused pressure on the areas holding tension, blended with Swedish strokes to keep your body from bracing, and stretching where it helps. Pressure adjusts in real time, and I check in during the session. You never have to endure anything to get value from the hour.

Rates and Insurance

60 minutes is $100 and 90 minutes is $140, cash rates as of July 2026. Book the 90 if your whole back has opinions.

If you carry a Kaiser, Providence, Blue Cross Blue Shield, or ASH-network plan, your benefits may cover the session. I verify your coverage before your first visit and bill the insurer directly.
