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.

What Clients Are Saying About Our Massage

From weekend warriors to elite athletes, our clients trust Zenith for expert care and real results. Here is what they had to say about their experience with our Massage—tailored support that helped them move, train, and feel their best.

Best bodywork sessions I’ve ever had

I was visiting Eugene and sleeping on the hotel pillow left me with a stiff neck. I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Jesse for the incredible massage during my recent trip. Your work on my neck and shoulders brought such relief—it was easily one of the best bodywork sessions I’ve ever had. Jesse’s technique encompassed the "4 p's" (pace, pressure, pain, then pleasure/release!). He clearly had deep expertise and experience. I would love to find a practitioner in my home area (Dillon/Summit County, Colorado) who offers something even remotely similar. Thank you again for your thoughtful, skilled care. I only wish your practice was located a little (okay, a lot) closer—I’d be a regular in a heartbeat!

Great recovery and strength training combo

I had a recovery session with Jesse, and it was awesome! He was professional, knowledgeable, and kind, and my legs and back appreciated the reset. I definitely plan to book a recovery session after every race. And it would be a great gift for other runners in my life! UPDATE: I have been taking their group strength training classes too! They are awesome! Such a great workout!!!
