During my first massage from Laura, I was skeptical. It seemed like she was going really light on me and I wasn't experiencing the pain that I had gotten used to. She said it was cuz I was sooo tight and she had to gently release the tightness before she can get deeper into the tissues. And she was right. I got up from the massage table and my legs felt so light. There was room between my leg muscles and I no longer felt like I was carrying two blocks of steel in my legs. I look forward to going back!

Date Created: 05/14/17…read more Eric Hepperle Review for: Empowered Health Chiropractic (Dr. Kim) 11804 SE Sunnyside Rd, Clackamas, OR 97015 5/5 stars OVERVIEW: EmPOWERED Health is amazing and they are about healing people, not just trying to squeeze money out of you like other chiropractors. Dr. Kim really cares about your wellbeing and has an uncanny insight into what structurally is wrong. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for all your chiropractic needs! MY EXPERIENCE: Dr. Kim was recommended to me by name from an energy medicine practitioner I was seeing. She told me that Dr. Kim was the best chiropractor she'd ever known and was making tremendous progress healing injuries almost half a century old. I was skeptical but I decided to give her a try. I was even more skeptical when I realized the building was small, right off the main road, and you would miss it if you weren't looking for it. There was not much parking available, but I managed to find a spot and went inside. Inside the door was a little reception area, and on my first appointment I was a little confused by the energy. If you are sensitive, or empathic, you will know what I mean. I noticed a few crystals and an aromatherapy mister making the place smell very nice. They were very busy and perhaps a bit behind, and at first I felt a little ignored. It was only later that I learned that it was because Dr. Kim dedicates whatever amount of time is required for each patient, a true measure of caring. My first appointment they did an intake session, all kinds of measurements and reflex tests to get a baseline for my physical state. After 30 minutes they started massaging areas that I had indicated needing attention as sore or bound up, with a rapidly vibrating device. This is what they call the "Rapid Release Technique" or "Active Release Technique". After about 45 minutes of a thorough exam, I finally got to see Dr. Kim. I didn't know what to expect on first meeting her, but let me tell you, I was blown away by her uncanny intuition when she began to examine me! She's a Texas spitfire, medically trained but also skilled in many alternative and complementary therapies including energy work. Within 30 seconds of beginning to examine me, she found energetic (grounding) and physical reasons for my conditions. As the website says, they do whole body chiro, not just neck and back! She did my neck adjustment in a more thorough way than I've ever had done. Then she finished doing my back, my ribs, my shoulders, and collarbone too. Dr. Kim gave me a complimentary copy of her new book and advised me to do the "zen stretch" described within. The session ended with me getting on a roller bed that used jets of hot water --- it was amazing!! AM I HEALED? After the first visit, my shoulder became straighter, didn't click as much, and felt less chronic soreness in the joint, my neck hurt a little less (I am a writer and web developer, so I spend a lot of hours sitting in front of a computer and using a mouse), and my lower back, hips, and feet were feeling better, as well. After 2 months of sessions every week, I am feeling better than I have overall in 4 years! The carpal-tunnel-like symptoms that were starting to develop have all but gone away, I can type faster now, and I sleep better at night. There is still a little ways to go, but for the most part, I'd say yes, I am healed! LIKES: * Dr. Kim and her staff are very compassionate and heart-centered * They work with you to figure out what is wrong and get to the ROOT of the problem * They do not prescribe medication, only physical manipulation of the body * Dr. Kim is very sensitive to the energy workings in the body and can find hidden things that traditional doctors don't even know about * The RRT machine releases scar tissue so your body can begin to heal itself * Dr. Kim really listens and will do whatever she can to help your body heal * Prices are reasonable and Oregon Health Plan insurance makes it less than $20 a visit * You can schedule chiro and massage on the same day. Best so far for me has been 1 hr massage with Nick, followed by a 15-20 min session with Dr. Kim SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT: * They need more parking, but somehow I've always been able to find a spot. :) CONCLUSION: Anyone experiencing pain in the body can benefit from a visit to EmPOWERED Health. Dr. Kim and her staff will lovingly and light-heartedly work with you in a down-to-earth way to find the root of what's wrong. You will begin to find healing where before was only pain. I believe that Dr. Kim is a miracle worker. If you have been to allopathic physicians and alternative practitioners and none of them have been able to cure you, give Dr. Kim a try. She may just save your life!

I have had many massages over the years and have never found someone as skilled as Kat. She was recommended to me by my former LMT who was leaving the area, and I first saw her when I had injured my neck and back doing yoga.

I can often feel knots and tension dissipate while I am on the table. It can be addicting. The space is cute and comfortable and I love the location in the Woodlawn neighborhood.

I've had massage from Leslie before she left town in that space, and really like the location and the ambiance of the room - really easy to get comfortable in and no worries like spas do where you're hearing other services / background noises. Also $90 for 90 minutes is a really good deal compared to the other places around town, and loved being able to get a massage in my own neighborhood. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the head portion of the massage table - we weren't able to get it aligned very well, something was up with the way it was shaped or padded. The only other suggestion I would have is to have some kind of blinds on the windows, not for privacy but to keep it a bit darker for the massage -it was sunny at the start and for me, I like a darker room when I get a massage. Other than that though it was GREAT, she was great, and I look forward to my next visit!
