DeJohn Bodywork

DeJohn Bodywork We focus on treating soft tissue injuries using Active Release Techniques (ART), K-Laser Class 4 Laser Therapy. Using ART is far from a cookie-cutter approach.

As a certified Active Release Technique (ART) provider, Mark uses his hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. He uses ART treatment protocols—over 500 specific moves—to identify and correct your unique problem. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. The use of ART in your treatment program provides a means to effectively, and rapidly, resolve injuries prior to surgical intervention. It's a hands-on therapy that corrects muscular and soft tissue problems caused by scar tissue created by overuse and cumulative or repetitive stress trauma. Through this process, we are able to locate and break down the scar tissue—adhesions—which cause pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness and physical dysfunctions associated with strain or injury. Like any treatment, ART is not a miracle cure for every condition. However, when properly employed, the documented success rate of ART is over 90%, even with such chronic problems as carpal tunnel syndromes and rotator cuff tendonitis.

Ever stretch a muscle over and over… and it still feels tight?

Here’s why.

Imagine a rubber band that’s gotten sticky and tangled from being used too much. No matter how much you pull on it, it doesn’t stretch smoothly anymore.

Muscles can get the same way.

When we overuse muscles (sports, workouts, sitting too long, repetitive work), tiny sticky spots form between muscles and the tissues around them. When that happens, the muscle can’t slide and move normally.

Stretching pulls on the whole system…
but it doesn’t always fix the “sticky spot.”

Active Release Techniques (ART) is designed to find those exact areas and restore smooth movement between the tissues.
When things start sliding again, the body often feels stronger, looser, and less painful. Schedule today!

What is Active Release Techniques?

It is a hands-on treatment approach designed to locate and treat soft-tissue restrictions that can affect muscles, tendons, fascia, ligaments, and nerves.

People often seek ART for:
Muscle tightness
Nerve irritation
Overuse injuries
Reduced range of motion
Chronic tension
Movement-related pain

If that sounds familiar, I’m offering a $99 Intro Special for new clients through the end of April.

If your body feels restricted, there is usually a reason. Let’s find it and work on it.

What an honor to be chosen as the 2nd place winner for 'Best Massage Therapist' in 'The Source Best of Central Oregon 2025!' It is amazing that we came in 2nd place with the number of massage practices we have in the area, especially since we are a therapeutic massage clinic. The winner is a full-day spa (congrats to them), so honestly, I feel like we crushed it to reach the level that we did. Thanks to everyone who voted for us!
