Licensed Massage Therapist #24529

Community:

Long-time Eugene massage therapist with established client following from Just Be Massage. Now integrated into Zenith’s multi-disciplinary care model, collaborating with PTs and strength coaches.

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.

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!

This is the only place you need for PT and training

This is the best and only place you need to go for quality physical therapy and personal training. They finally get to the root cause of issues and fix everything impacting your current injury. No longer do you have to just accept the limitations of injuries or work around them, but instead can find a real path towards recovery and get to feel healthy again. And they are great for helping up learn how hard to push yourself, and when, as you correct the smaller movements or muscle imbalances that you go to this place in the first place.

Excellence and Healing Above and Beyond

I highly recommend Jesse LMT Massage Therapist has excellence and healing above and beyond. He is a Master in the skill of Professional Healing Therapy after my car accident. He uses Fashia stretching, muscle trigger point release and has a gentle massage touch. I loved the Hot Stones which relaxed and released muscle to tightness. Jesse Burlingham is an absolute expert in therapeutic healing procedures and practices. 10/10!
