Manual Lymphatic Drainage

"This was unlike any body work or massage I've ever had. Jeannine positioned me and actively engaged muscles. I left with more mobility and ease than i've had in a very long time. I booked another appointment and am sooo looking forward to it!"
"I met with Jeanine for the first time just yesterday and I must say how pleased I still am regarding the experience. Friendly, calm, and confident, she went through my numerous issues and addressed them skillfully (I am a physical therapist) in the time she had. I strongly recommend Jeanine if you are looking for an MT for any reason."
"Jeannine is phenomenal. Her space is warm and comfortable. She is professional, courteous, and responsive. The massages I've received from Jeannine have always been exactly what I need and she takes the time to ask what I'm needing. I highly recommend her services."
"I had a wonderful soft tissue and MLD massage with Jeannine. She has a great energy and healing touch. I felt extremely relaxed and centered after my massage and I can’t wait to return."
"Amazing experience! So thankful that I booked a pre-race massage with Jeannine! The session was so helpful as a tune-up to get my body race ready. Would highly recommend Jeannine to any other runner who puts a lot of strain on their body. Your body/muscles will be grateful you did!"
"I met Jeannine after referral from my sports physician. She took the time to explore my injury and find out the most efficient way to maximize therapy. She worked with me through marathon training and it made a huge difference. I still see her for maintenance and will definitely be heading back there every few weeks during my next training cycle. Not too mention — her place is relaxing and cozy and she is so attentive to email / phone conversation. She goes out of her way to be flexible for your schedule. I cannot say enough."
"I feel so lucky to have reconnected with Jeannine over this last year. Her work as a massage therapist is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. This spring I had a complete reconstruction of my ACL and have been struggling with prolonged swelling. Jeannine’s manual lymphatic drainage work on my knee has provided some much needed natural pain relief as well as a significant and visible decrease in swelling after each treatment. The scar work Jeannine did also helped relieve some of the tightness and pulling sensation I was getting with in the tissue. Thank you for being part of my care team!!"
"Jeannine, was so helpful and kind, I had a bad fall on stairs and landed badly leaving scar tissue. She was able to help me break up that scar after 4 years, allowing better motion and less pulling! Very comfortable space and super convenient for Portland!"
"Jeannine's strong understanding of anatomy shines through in her sessions. Her manual therapy skills combined with her knowledge of the body always lead to an effective session. She's my go-to practitioner for helping me solve problems in my body!"
"I recently had a complete knee replacement with several complications in which my Out-Patient Therapy was compromised due to sciatica nerve issues and adhesions around my knee. Jeannine has worked closely with Scott Lemelin from Advance Physical Therapy who is my outpatient PT. I have felt positive results due to Jeannine working on several areas to release the accumulation of adhesions plus reducing my sciatica issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeannine Foster, I am very pleased."
