Hands down the best massage therapist

Mark D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jesse Burlingham brings presence, precision, and purpose to his work as a Licensed Massage Therapist at Zenith Performance and Wellness. He is one of only six certified Master Myoskeletal Therapists (MMT) in Oregon and among just 300 globally to hold this elite designation. His approach blends advanced manual therapy with a deep passion for helping people feel and move better—whether they're athletes, outdoor adventurers, or managing long-standing pain.

The MMT certification, developed by renowned educator Dr. Erik Dalton, requires over 210 hours of advanced training in structural alignment, biomechanics, and pain neuroscience. This methodology targets the root causes of dysfunction—not just the symptoms—by combining principles of osteopathy, physical therapy, and soft-tissue mobilization.

Jesse’s journey is grounded in service. A U.S. Army veteran and former law enforcement officer, he returned to massage therapy in 2018 with renewed purpose: to deliver results-driven, recovery-focused care that supports both physical performance and long-term resilience. At Zenith, he often collaborates with physical therapists and strength coaches to provide fully integrated care.

Clients come to Jesse for more than massage—they come for trusted partnership in their wellness journey. He customizes every session to support mobility, reduce pain, regulate the nervous system, and restore functional movement.

Outside the clinic, Jesse is deeply connected to Eugene’s cycling and outdoor communities. He finds renewal through time in nature, backpacking, long distance bicycling, motorcycling and the companionship of his dog, Journey.

North Star:
To create meaningful connection through healing touch—helping people move with less pain, more confidence, and deeper awareness. Rooted in service, nature, and community, Jesse brings presence and purpose to every session, honoring the human behind the body and the journey behind the pain.

Licensed Massage Therapist #24529

September 25, 2025

Jesse Burlingham is hands down (pun intended) the best massage therapist I know. I saw him this week with a shoulder that has been very painful. Toward the end of the massage he says, "Let me try one thing." He proceeded to find a pressure point that was so painful. But seconds later, the pain subsided to nothing. This was Tuesday and my shoulder pain is near zero. I can't wait for my next appointment. He really is the best.

Feeling Great After Massage with Jesse

Jesse is a fantastic massage therapist. He’ll always concentrate on issues if you’re having them; otherwise, he gives a wonderful whole-body massage. I feel great after one of his massages and he is also great at giving advice for various muscle issues.
