I easily got the best deep tissue massage of my life here by Sarah. She was incredibly kind and attentive, paying attention to every area I told her was bothering me. I have never felt so much relief from a massage immediately. read more

NEVER had a bad massage here. After some problematic LMT practitioners left, it's the best place in the entire city. You won't be disappointed. read more

I came in today for a 60 minute massage through my insurance (I wish I knew I had this perk a year ago). My therapist was Sarah and she was just amazing. She greeted me at the door that is typically locked if there are sessions going on so they come get you. Once I entered the massage room, Sarah asked me a few basic questions of why I was getting a massage, problem areas, where I keep stress and any areas to avoid. She then exited the room and had me undress to my comfort level which I decide full nude was the way I wanted to go. You must keep your mask on the entire time which I appreciate but you do need to adjust your breathing a little once laying down. The table was heated and I asked for it to be turned off as I typically run hot but it's nice there is an option for added warmth/comfort if needed. Sarah and I decided on a full body to really explore my problems areas for the future. I started on my stomach and she spent quite a bit of time on my upper and lower back as that's where I typically have the most tension. The pressure was perfect for me but she checked in to make sure I didn't need it adjusted and the rest of the time it was quiet minus the relaxing music. I appreciate this because I've experience people wanted to chat throughout the massage and no offense to anyone but I don't while I'm trying to relax. Sarah was very intuitive with problems areas as she would spend a little more time where things felt a little more tight. I was so comfortable the whole time and can't wait to return! read more

Kelly Forrester is amazing! I've been seeing her for about six months and she works wonders. She can find every knot in my back and neck, and she has seriously helped relieve the pain I have due to scoliosis (as well as long hours in front of a computer). She's also incredibly knowledgeable, and she's helping me learn ways to manage my scoliosis with various exercises and stretches. Plus she's just super sweet. I highly recommend a relaxing, healing visit with Kelly! I should also say the office itself is nice, too. And they take insurance. Great place all around :) read more

Monier is AMAZING. I have been coming to CBR to see her every other week for close to 3 years. My sessions with her are the highlight of my week. She is continuously refining her craft, blending excellent palpation skills and intuitive deep tissue massage with her ever expanding knowledge of functional movement. I often feel as if she is 'reading' my body while she works, her instincts are that good. Go see Monier. You will leave feeling better and with a deeper understanding of your body and how best to keep it moving well outside the studio. read more

I went to CBR with my boyfriend while on vacation. He had Amy, I had Katelyn. Both were exceptional! They have amazing technical skills, along with making you feel very comfortable and relaxed. It was the first time in months that I could turn my head all the way to the right. I made a lot of particular requests, and she made sure to address each of them and even gave me tips on things to do at home. I really liked the building they were in, too. I really wish I lived in Portland, just so I could go back there! read more

Sarah Sabby is a miracle worker. Came in with intense pain, pinched nerve, back out. Walked out as a different person. Thank you Sarah! For the business: make it easy to find you, it was confusing read more

This is THE PLACE to get massages! Clean, calming, friendly environment. Every massage therapist I saw there was highly skilled. I saw Maggie the most and she helped me a lot. The massage helped reduce inflammation, and she seemed to know where to address the problem. You can book online which is handy. read more

I came here based on the Yelp reviews and I will not go back. Location Location Location- the office is on the edge of the railroad tracks and while I was on the massage table the train ran past honking it's horn-A LOT. Also, every ten minutes or so the building had a bell/alarm that went off (I assume it was from a Loading dock?). Massage Interesting that my masseuse had electronica rave music playing during my massage..interesting in the fact hating was not relaxing at all. After awhile it changed to hardcore rock with heavy metal drum solo. The massage started off OK but really wasn't amazing...she barely touched my trapezius muscles...what's the point? I got the $60 intro massage, and when I got there Yelp advertised checking in for another $10 off...but they would not honor that discount. So I paid $60 plus tip, instead of $50. Save yourself the hassle of going into the warehouse district for a massage. It's a super cool location, but not for a relaxing massage. read more

I just had my first massage from Stephanie at CBR and created a Yelp! account solely so I could tell the world how amazing she is. She was so pleasant, lovely, intuitive, graceful and strong. No one ever does it "hard enough" for me, and she has finally ended my search for the perfect massage! AH! I rebooked immediately. I mean, I pretty much told her I loved her after an hour of knowing her, so I think that's as good as it gets! I can't recommend her highly enough and everyone needs to see her! Thank you Stephanie! read more

My CBR experience started with some consistent hip pain I was feeling after snowboarding. It got worse and worse and worse to the point where I was having a hard time walking. I decided to try a massage on a coworker's advise, and made an appointment Clara. She was fantastic, and I have been making appointments with her every month since. She is very knowledgeable about body mechanics and was able to help me feel better. The pressure of a deep tissue massage isn't very relaxing sometimes. Yet, I still feel quite relaxed in the studio. The lighting, music and scents are wonderful. The table is always warm and comfortable. Surprisingly, I haven't heard the trains go by either. (I work in an office in the same building and the trains are ridiculous.) I recommend CBR to anyone. This place is the real deal! read more

I work on the computer for a lot of hours, but this week has been lots of extra time and stress. My neck and back were all messed up and in knots. Katelyn's deep tissue work saved me. I limped in and floated out. Doesn't seem possible. Well worth your money. read more

Katelyn gave the best massage I have had - period. I am very grateful to have met such a talented LMT and immediately scheduled another treatment. I have stiffness and inflexibility from recurrent injuries to my legs and back. She carefully listened to my concerns and took notes. I noticed that she was subtly evaluating my posture at the same time. I was impressed with the thoroughness of her assessment before the massage and During the massage it was evident that her attention paid off. Katelyn thoroughly addressed all of my concerns using an variety of massage techniques/modalities including stretching. I have had many other therapists tackle the same problems, Katelyn was by far the most thorough and effective. At the end of the session she offered some advice about how to improve my posture and other modalities that could help in the healing process, including the pros and cons of different yoga styles for my needs. I left feeling that she was truly interested in helping me. By the way, it is now over 4 hours after our session and I still feel amazing - which for me is remarkable. Regarding the location: I have had massages ranging from purely clinical setting to luxury spa. This location is definitely in the middle. Most men would probably feel more comfortable at this location than in a typical spa- there is no dim candle light or soft new age music playing. I did not notice any traffic or train noise but expect that it probably happens. I felt so relaxed during the massage that I probably wouldn't notice, however. Overall I felt that the space was small but inviting and comfortable and certainly not a deterrent to an outstanding experience (as others have posted.) read more

I've been in twice now to CBR and received treatments from both Katelyn and Stephanie. It had been several years since my last massage prior to going here, but both of them each time made me feel very comfortable and cared for. They do their best to assess your individual needs on each visit. The location isn't large, but it's very relaxing and well worth the money spent. My wife has some back issues and she had a treatment there also and also had a wonderful experience. I plan on going back regularly. Thanks to the other Yelpers who gave CBR such high marks, they are well deserved! read more

CBR just hits the spot. You know *the spot*. For me, it's this kink in between my shoulder blades, and any one of the awesome LMTs have been awesome in helping me untie all those knots in my back! I've seen Amy, Stephanie and Kathleen- all of whom are superb! read more

Hurt my back and shoulder. Went to random chiropractor and then a random massage therapist. Felt worse. Went to CBR. Came out feeling WAY better. Clara was excellent. The space is simple. The prices are reasonable. Go. read more

Massage places must love it when it comes time for reviews... who doesn't walk out all google eyed and high going, "thank you, thank you". So pardon me if this is obvious, but my massage with Katelyn was awesome. I have had quite a few massages now, and every time you want to say things like "that was the best massage I've ever had", but this one really was. I had just come off of 3 weeks of harcdore days working towards a deadline, so my girlfriend, being awesome as she is, decided it would be a nice treat to get me a gift certificate for CBR. Although I don't usually leave detailed information on my check in sheets, this time I did, and I'm so glad, Katelyn seemed to have just the remedy for my computer maladies. The space is nice, not so over the top that you are uncomfortable, just right, warm, clean cozy decor. I strongly recommend CBR. The prices are very reasonable, and the work they do to your body is detailed and amazing! read more

Beautifully decorated no nonsense place. If your looking for a massage to rid your ailments, this is for you. This is not your typical massage place and deserves at least one try. I myself will be returning. Easy online scheduling and you can book through on your medical insurance as well. Very convenient! I had my first appointment today with Renee and she did a fantastic job! Don't be fooled by her petite stature, this young lady knows what she's doing. So go now and check out their website and prepare to be wowed. read more

Stephanie gave an excellent massage. I had just moved to Portland from NYC and was still quite stiff from the flight and sleeping on the floor while waiting for my new mattress to be delivered and Stephanie alleviated much of my stiffness. I really liked how she sat down with me before the massage and asked me questions to help her understand what I wished to get out of the massage. She also explained the techniques she would use, pressure, etc. I chose Stephanie based on her bio on the CBR website. I have very tight muscles and I thought that her training in Yoga therapy would help relieve pressure on these muscles. I was right; she incorporated moderate stretching into the massage, which was great. MommyWarbucks was right about the location, however, I disagree with her about it being distracting. Classic Body Restoration is located in a large building in the Industrial District, which is close to the freeway, but I wasn't bothered by the noise at all. Having slept with earplugs for years due to noisy roommates and dogs I can attest to being sensitive to noise but I really didn't even notice it after the massage started. Overall, a great experience. I will certainly go back. read more

After my first session with Clara, I knew that either a) I'd found the perfect person to help with my back problems, or b) I'd never let her near me again. (They aren't kidding about these not being 'foo-foo' massages.) Well, I've been going back for months now, and looking forward to every visit. I'm someone who needs to remind myself / put effort into exercising good posture. After an hour at CBR, my body naturally springs into a respectably upright position. Highly recommended. read more

I've been to a number of massage therapists -- these ladies are the best I've yet found. Both Katelyn and Stephanie are skilled at massage-as-healing-therapy - able to find and fix what ails you, and explain why you're feeling tension/pain where you are. (As a science-type, this is very satisfying.) Both very communicative during your session, checking-in re: how you're doing, how this feels, etc. I have sent stressed-out coworkers and treat-deserving friends to Katelyn (half-hour gift certificates = perfect gift!), as well as folks who are new to massage. All of them had nothing but rave reviews. Downside: no covered bike parking (and bike parking is limited to parking sign poles outside the building). read more

This place is amazing. I've been seeing Trish for over a year now following a bike accident that has resulted in some ongoing back pain. She consistently assesses my changing needs and adapts as necessary. She is a gem and I HIGHLY recommend her! Also, during a week when I tweaked my back super weird and needed an appointment asap but Trish wasn't available, she set me up with René and Stephanie for two separate appointments. They were also amazing and so helpful. It seems clear that all of the folks at CBR are knowledgable and great at what they do and I will certainly continue to return. read more

I love my appointments at CBR!! I've been going for over a year now and it's become part of my wellness therapy. Having suffered from multiple fractures my body needs a lot of realignment and this massage therapy has greatly benefited me. I've seen several different therapist and I have had a wonderful experience at every appointment. Lately I was able to schedule several appointments with Kelly and she has been able to find adhesions in areas where I didn't know they existed. She really understands bio mechanics and is helping me with SI joint tightness. The waiting room is very relaxing and occasionally they sell locally made oils and salves. Highly recommended read more

I have been going to Classic Body Restoration (great location, clean, friendly) for about 2 years now and couldn't be more satisfied with Deirdre and her magical hands that seem to extract all pain from my muscles and leave me feeling blissful and relaxed. Whether I am going in for a specific problem in my neck or back or for a regularly scheduled massage to de-stress after a long work week, Deirdre is intuitive to the needs of my body. She seems to be able to find hidden layers of balled up stress and tight knots, her hands "taking no prisoners". And she applies the perfect degree of pressure (I personally can handle a bit) and I am always impressed by her strength. Needless to say, a massage by Deirdre has become the standard to which I compare all others to. Highly recommended! read more

I have been very fortunate to receive massages from Amy, Katelyn, Kathleen and Stephanie, all of whom are truly gifted and amazing at what they do. Each one has their own unique style enabling them to intuitively cater to your body's needs, so you always leave feeling relaxed, aligned and stress-free. I had never imagined one establishment having such diversity and talent to restore the body, while always making you feel comfortable and cared for. read more

CBR has been integral in my recovery after a very serious car accident where I was T-Boned. When I found CBR on yelp, I was able to book an appointment a few days later (their hours are SO convenient.) After several regular massages, my body feels better every day. I have seen almost all of the massage therapists and have never had a bad massage. However, the three therapists I really resonate with are Anne, Clara and Trish. Anne has a very light but incredibly powerful (if that makes sense) touch that really accelerated healing the parts of my body that were the most injured. She has a clear understanding of each part of the skeletal/muscular system and how to manipulate the muscles for the body to be in optimum performance. Clara is really talented at using several different techniques to best suit what's going on with my body when I see her. She does certain stretches and myofascial release that makes me feel like a million dollars when I leave a massage with her. Trish is a Zen Shiatsu practitioner, and I quickly fell in love with this form of massage after the first time I saw her. For being so petite, this girl is STRONG in the best way possible! Shiatsu uses the same energy meridians that acupuncture utilizes, and I love the work that she does on my body. I am often sleepy after her massages, but honestly it's because my body has been moved and worked in wondrous ways that make it seek out rest in order to heal correctly. THANK YOU, CBR for listening to me and caring about my body. Your assistance in my healing will always be something I am thankful for. read more

Short and sweet: Monier Bahador gave me the best massage I have ever had. She came highly suggested by two women I trust---and my trust for them continues. Monier is lovely, kind, heard what my physical issue/concern was and then skillfully set about addressing it. Quite amazing. read more

Amy Homsi is the most skilled, attentive, and amazing massage therapist I have ever been to see. She works on all the spots you need and stays away from the spots you don't want touched, maximizing time and making you feel FABULOUS. She is ridiculously friendly and sweet, but not so friendly that you aren't able to relax on the table. I have been back to see her multiple times and as long as I live in this area, she is the only one I want to massage my full-time student, full-time employee stressed out and taxed body! :) read more

Superb massage Anne is so highly skilled. Her excellent understanding of how body parts work is just one aspect, albeit an important one. Several years ago, I had a severe frozen shoulder. Physical therapy, medication, chiropractic, and acupuncture did little to alleviate it. Regular sessions with Anne made a huge difference. It's maddening that most health insurance no longer includes massage, as it was the only thing that worked effectively for me. A recent treatment from Anne for minor muscle issues and stress has reinforced my belief that she is one of the best massage therapists in the Greater Portland area. I can truly say that it was the best massage I have ever received (even from her, previously)! I have been to several other massage therapists (having moved out of the city a few years ago), but none compare to Anne. I very much like the cool building and high ceilinged rooms as well. read more

Mo is amazing! So knowledgeable and tuned into her clients needs. First time I had a massage and the therapist and I worked as a team to achieve the best results. Will never go anywhere else. read more

I went to CBR over the weekend based on the reviews I had read. Again, Yelp did not let me down. The reviews were great as is mine. Jen was the only one with openings and it was meant to be. She worked on me for 1 1/2 hours and it was the best whole body massage I have ever had. I whole-heartedly recommend her to all. read more

Stephanie Massey has an amazing talent and a unique specialty. She listens so well and I always feel so understood and accepted. Stephanie does organ and abdominal massage and it has helped my healing post surgery. She is careful to make the massage the right amount of intensity. The new space is lovely, too. read more

Kate is an amazing massage therapist. I have been going to Kate for several years and she is really the best that I have ever had, and I have tried lots of different massage therapists. i highly recommend her and she is very reasonably priced. I have always been a 100% happy! :) read more

Super good. I highly recommend Stephanie. I've been visiting her for almost two years now and I'm 100% happy!

Awesome place and its easy to schedule online. The place is just 3 small rooms next to Olympic provisions and dosent have the up its own ass spa feel to it. Amy gives the best massages ever as I like ALOT of pressure and she is very capable read more

I've been going to CBR for about 7 or 8 years now and have never been disappointed. I have received consistently amazing massages by Trish the entire time. She is a highly skilled therapist who really listens to your needs and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. She's also just a really great person--friendly, funny, smart--I've made a friend along the way, too. CBR is a professional operation with no BS. They treat their clientele right and as you can see by the rave reviews on this site, they are beloved by many in PDX. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Best massage therapy I've ever had in 22 years of getting massages. Trisha is an expert! They offer good deals and are worth every penny. I'm on a plane 4 times a month and the only reason I can move is due to Trish. read more

I started seeing Stephanie to help bring my body back to some sort of normalcy after pregnancy. That was a year and a half ago and I have been visiting regularly ever since. Love the vibe, massages, people... read more

Yep. This is exactly what I needed after a good dose of major stress. Stephanie did amazing work on the knot that I have developed over the years. I will return for sure! read more
