Lone Oak Massage + Bodywork

As a medical provider, I appreciate Lora’s understanding of anatomy and body mechanics. Yes, message therapy should «feel good» but I believe as a part of holistic health, it should also set you up for success in your daily activities. We require a lot of our bodies, so I think it’s reasonable to require a lot of the practitioners that we trust to make us feel our best. I know first-​hand that Lora is in this elite group. If you don’t believe me, just see for yourself… and enjoy!

8 months ago i was in a pretty serious car accident, had significant soft tissue injuries. Add to that a long drive and move, I was ready for a therapeutic massage asap! I was excited to find Lora on Unilocal,as I needed a therapist who had experience with injuries, and I had hoped to find a place near South Waterfront. I came in pretty wrecked, and left in much better shape. With my benefits, I am able to schedule weekly or bi-​weekly massages with Lora, I truly believe this will greatly assist my recovery. Lora has a new office, looking over the river. She is very skilled, with over a decade of experience, and I will continue to utilize her strong, healing hands. Thanks Lora!

Lora does an amazing job.
I’ve had a message before and when it was time to work through the knots, I was really struggling with the pain. With Lora, however, she is able to work through those knots without the pain. She was gentle and assertive at the same time!
Really enjoyed my massage with her and will be returning!

Lora is a great massage therapist. After a cross-​country move, hours of furniture assembly, and heavy cycling, my body was in knots. During the massage, Lora used just the right amount of pressure on my muscles so that I never found myself wincing in pain, but she was tough enough on the knots so that I felt noticeable looser afterwards. I had that great post-​massage halo for the rest of the day and slept very soundly that night. I will definitely be back again. Thanks Lora!

Lora is one of the few massage therapists I’ve been to who can actually get the severe knots out of my shoulders and neck. She is caring and generous as well and gives great advice and support for a healthy lifestyle beyond the 1 hr massage visit. I always feel relaxed and cheered after each appointment with her.

The best massage I have ever had in my life. Lora works wonders with her hands. She did a great job communication with me did a great job relieving me of pains I have been struggling with for a few years now. She really knows her stuff. It was my first time and she did great making me feel comfortable as well. If your looking for a relaxing way to loosen up, you have to go see Lora!

Lora did a great job on my 1-​hour Groupon massage. Parking was ample and the space is quiet and clean. I arrived a little late, but Lora was very accommodating and did her best to provide a full massage in my time slot. She was very friendly and was genuinely interested in my comfort and well being. She quickly honed in on the areas that needed extra attention and was respectful of my request to avoid my feet (I’m very ticklish). At the end of the session, Lora discussed the tough areas she found and suggested helpful stretches and yoga poses. I left feeling de-​stressed, pain free, and very relaxed. I highly recommend Lora!

Lora is a heck of a massage therapist, and she is also a great person to spend an hour or so getting a massage from. She is kind-​hearted, intuitive, and thoughtful about her practice. She not only works out your muscles, but she incorporates her knowledge of yoga to suggest poses that might help better align your body and work out some areas that need more balance. I am really glad I found her!

I went here for the first time yesterday and I honestly had the best massage in my entire life. Definitely recommend Lone Oak. I’ll be back.

Lora did a fantastic job, she was professional and welcoming. I would highly recommend her!

Unprofessional and poor communication. I purchased a groupon for a massage based on all these wonderful reviews, schedule an appointment and received confirmation. I went to my scheduled appointment and she did not even show up! I contacted her by phone and email and did not hear back. Obviously I am going to be contacting Groupon to try and get a refund. I am not an expert but, I can say this is no way to run a business.
Update in regards to the owners comment and explanation. I had received all of her emails when schedule and confirming, and have since received her emails now that she didn’t show up to my appointment. It is quite strange that her attempts to contact me to reschedule prior were the ONLY ones that didn’t come through. This was scheduled on a holiday weekend and it is very clear she decided she wanted to do something other than work but didn’t care to be a professional. Trying to cover her self instead of owning that she was wrong. This is not a reliable place of business and I will never refer this to anyone. Groupon has refunded my money.

Lora is amazing, kind, professional, and one of the best massage therapists I have ever been. She is passionate about her work and strives to provide the best care possible. She tailors each appointment to your specific needs/​wants/​goals.
Her website is really user friendly and easy to set-​up appointments online (which I love).
Truly, her ultimate concern is YOU as an individual and wants nothing more than to see YOU taken care of. She is awesome!

Lora is amazing! I really love her as a person, and of course her massages are over the top amazing. She was really able to help restore some freedom in the areas that were very tight, like my shoulders, SI joints, hips and neck. After each of my sessions, I have come in with some general pain, and fatigue and have left feeling elated and blissfully relaxed every time! She is truly a gem at what she does as well as a great person. I would recommend Lora to everyone I know.

Lora was amazing. I had to cancel my first appointment because my sister-​in-​law went into labor the morning of my appointment and she was so understanding and helped me figure out when I could see her. Really nice to have that personal connection and not a big ‘corporation’ feel. I have a bunch of tension in my back, shoulders and neck and it was made clear from the start that this was going to be amazing. It hurt so good! Seriously, it never got to the point where I was in wincing pain, but it felt like she was going just to the brink. I’m feeling it today, the next day, but only when I’m sitting still. The movements that hurt a day ago are no longer painful. I’m standing taller and I am going to take her advice on my posture and overall carrying of my body and shoulders to heart. It already seems to be making a difference. So thank you! I will be back!

Lora is great! I would highly recommend her! She is a good listener and can truly give a deep tissue massage. She also gave me some great suggestions regarding my yoga practice. Thanks Lora!

I came in with a headache and left pain-​free! Lora was great! Her pressure was perfect. She took the time to get the whole picture of my health history and created a focused massage session that took care of what I needed. Lora had an innate sense of where to work on my body, and she is highly skilled in deep tissue and myofascial release. I am a massage therapist myself and I can tell you with confidence that Lora is one of Portland’s best therapists. I will definitely be referring people to her and I highly recommend her work!

Quick summary: Wonderful. Lora is an absolute professional. I arrived at her welcoming office feeling a little nervous because this was to be my first professional massage. I was worried I would feel awkward, and ticklish. Lora made me feel totally comfortable.
I’m not sure what specific techniques she used, but whatever she did felt great. She used just the right amount of pressure and even pushed my limits a few times, which resulted in an even better overall experience. There was soothing music and relaxing aromas. She used some kind of hot pads to relax my back muscles before massaging it. I left feeling totally relaxed and even a little euphoric.
Lora is great at what she does, and I would absolutely recommend her to my friends and family. I plan to return for more body work soon.

Lora was the most intuitive, respectful, and delightful massage therapist. Her fingers really know how to find all of the little areas of your body that you didn’t even know had pinches and she finds a way to release them. She knows a variety of techniques including trigger point therapy, heat manipulation, and deep tissue… altogether I just left radiant, happy, relaxed and better!
I’m glad there was a Unilocal deal to entice me to try her out. Not only did I love «trying her out» but I also already bought four new massages to use in the near future I cannot wait to go back! My whole day is happier & my yoga practice, I’m sure, will be more improved tonight too!

Lora is an amazing massage therapist! Hands down the best massage I’ve had — she really worked the knots in my neck and shoulders. She provides a very calming atmosphere and knows just how much pressure to apply. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and to working with her long-​term. I would recommend Lone Oak to anyone.

I was extremely satisfied with my visit to Lora. She is very thorough with consultation and is genuinely interested in what work will be necessary to better the body for overall health. I’ve never felt SO loose the next day still, especially after a long work day. I’m excited to have found Lora. On another note, I also loved that she hits all the bases. Toes, fingers, feet, scalp, etc. these little things that some massage therapists often miss can make all the difference!
