ELEV8 THERAPY

My name is Katie Russ, and I am an energetic gal that lives for Massage Therapy and overall health and wellness! I have years of experience in playing sports, as well as schooling in Kinesiology and Exercise Science.  I finished my Bachelors in Kinesiology at Cal State Northridge while playing soccer for the University on a paid scholarship. After college, I attended massage school at National Holistic Institute where I learned advanced modalities.

I started my career working as the Massage Therapist for the UCLA football team, a very reputable chiropractor, as well as at a holistic physical therapy clinic. I am very detail oriented and love to give suggestions of stretching and strengthening exercises for in between sessions to improve mobility and aide any asymmetries leading to pain or dysfunction. My passion is to help people get out of pain and also optimize movement. Deep tissue, sports massage, pain management, myofascial release, clinical and postural correction are some of my specialties that aid in performance and everyday life!
