Mt. Hood MassageWorks

My experience here has been extraordinary. John is really receptive to my needs every time I go there, whether it be for relaxation or a specific symptom- it’s always a productive visit! So thankful for this resource for health and wellness.

Passionate, Knowledgeable, Clinical Massage

Writing reviews for exceptional businesses and individuals like John Inouye at Mt. Hood Massage Works always feels bittersweet. There's a part of me that wishes to keep such treasures a secret. However, the work John and his team do is far too valuable to keep to myself.

As an avid runner who has relied on massage therapy for years for both issues and regular maintenance, I was concerned that moving to Gresham would mean long trips to Portland for quality sports and clinical massages.

My concerns were quickly dispelled after my first session with John. He was able to understand my body's history and issues as if reading a map, identifying the root causes of my discomfort immediately. John's dedication to my health has been unwavering over the years. He has skillfully assisted me with back problems, sciatica, and even issues stemming from my time in the Army.

John stands out as the most proficient clinical massage therapist I've ever encountered. His knowledge is only surpassed by his passionate commitment to resolving the underlying causes of discomfort or injury.

Thank you John for making me the best runner I can be.

Let me say people I did a lot of research within 100 mile radius looking for someone who knows exactly what they're doing. I read a lot of great reviews on John and wanted to surprise my wife with a relaxing day starting with an hours massage. And let me say our guy John did not disappoint. My wife says he has the hands of God himself 😂😂😂 he's so professional and curious. I already booked my mom and sister for a session

After moving from California to beautiful Oregon my body was pretty taxed... I tried a few masseuses with high reviews, but they did not seem to understand the needs of my body - knots in my shoulders and neck, tightness through the right side of my body and other areas.. they rubbed oil/lotion on me and I was left with no relief.
Then, I found John after reading some of his positive reviews.. I have had 100's of massages around the world, I even managed a high end wellness center in Asia (so I got lots of massages from our employees) and I would say that John's has been the BEST I have ever experienced! he really understands the body and works on areas that I only dreamed of releasing as they were so tight..He is able to apply soft or strong pressure and good control. I decided to go to him once a week for four weeks to really heal the areas that needed it.. And, now I feel healthy and comfortable in my body again. I will go to John once a month for upkeep.
I also took my Mom and she loved his massage as well.. He is professional, understands the body, and LOVES giving massage.
If you haven't tried him out you must..

I come here for massages as often as possible. Highly recommend John. Iv been coming to him for a few years now. He is highly knowledgeable and Iv obtained great relieve after sessions.

I had my first professional massage with Shawna a couple years ago. Having nothing to compare it to I thought it was amazing. After visiting several different massage therapists, I’ve realized she is MORE than amazing. She is one of a kind. I wish I still lived in the area so I could experience those heavenly massages more often. I always leave feeling like all of my stress and tensions have been stripped away. 10/10 would recommend!

John did a beyond fantastic job! He was so polite, professional and best of all made sure to meet all my needs. His ability to listen to my body and tell me problem areas I didn’t even realize I had just goes to show how great he is at his profession. First time and won’t be my last!

Today I had the pleasure of getting a massage done by John. And let me tell you what. It was excellent. He was so professional and you can easily see how much passion and love he has for massage therapy. As soon as you walk into the room, the stress you have been carrying lifts off your shoulders. From the elephants and cute giraffes, to the calm music and dancing light of the candles you know that you have made the right choice by coming here. The prices are reasonable and the experience is so genuine that you know when you leave that you will definitely be coming back.

Shawna is very good. Her technique is different from what I had before. You can tell that she has vast experience. Easy to schedule appointments. It’s nice that they’re available until 8 pm and open on the weekends. Location is hard to find and easy to miss. A sign in the Main Street will help. Overall, I’m very pleased with the experience!

Had my first massage from Shauna today. She did not disappoint!
My regular place didn't reopen after the shutdown and I had to find somewhere new. After reading her reviews I scheduled a massage. Within the first 3 minutes I was in heaven.
I already have my next appointment scheduled 🙂

Shawna gives wonderful massages. She is very attentive to needs such as areas of the body needing more attention, pressure exerted and if there are areas to stay away from. I will continue to go to her for my massages.

John does an amazing job working on my problem areas and helps me get the results I'm wanting! I come in feeling really tense and have tight muscles and afterward my muscles are looser and feeling better. I'd recommend Mt. Hood Massage Works for anyone looking to improve how their body is feeling!

Shawna gave me the best massage. She even did cupping on me for the first time. It was interesting, but it helped my strained shoulder! The room was very clean and relaxing.

In the building Google maps displays as the location. On bottom floor. Beautiful spacious room. Shawna gave me the best massage I've had in years. Booked with her again within the week.

I felt very comfortable with John. He found places that I didn't even know were sore. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I am very happy that I went to see John when I was in awful shoulder pain.
Amazing massage and really professional.

10/10 stars lived my experience here! Absolutely am coming back to be worked on again. Great communication and took all my preferences into account!

Great massage from Shawna although she's booked out. John is great too but a little talkative for me.

5/5 recommend!! These two have magical hands. Definitely coming back.

Really welcoming and friendly environment. Also very knowledgeable massage therapist. Highly recommended.
