At Sole Purpose Massage, our sole purpose is
to help you feel better.
Whether you need to recover from an injury, are seeking pain relief, or just want to relax from the stresses of life, we’re here to help. We specialize in barefoot massage, delivering a deep, broad, and soothing pressure to relieve your pain and muscle tension. In addition to our barefoot massage work, we incorporate a variety of massage techniques and tools, including massage cupping, gua sha, targeted myofascial release, and Thai stretching to create lasting changes in your body. You will feel the difference!
What sets Sole Purpose Massage Apart?
Our experience, training, and barefoot techniques set us apart from other therapists. We are the longest-running Ashiatsu massage studio in Bend and our owner and therapist, Karyna, is a certified DeepFeet Bar Therapy instructor— one of a select team of highly trained therapists across the US qualified to teach Ashiatsu.
In addition to our expertise, barefoot massage is uniquely suited to provide a comfortable, yet therapeutic experience for a wide variety of bodies at most stages of life. Compared to traditional hand massage, barefoot techniques provide effortless, broad, continuous, and flowing pressure that helps relax the nervous system and allows the deep, compressive work to effectively release muscle tension and fascial restrictions.
Most strokes are performed with one foot on the table and one on the client, so pressure is easily adjusted to your preference. Most clients report that they can't tell the difference between use of the therapist’s hands and their feet, which is always our goal.

“I have been seeing Karyna for over a year now, once a month or more if necessary, and she is without a doubt the most talented and experienced/educated, kind, compassionate massage therapist I have ever visited. Every experience with her is magical, she understands how muscles and fascia and joints and trigger points work together and she knows how to approach all of the different challenges your body is presenting her. I can’t recommend this amazing lady enough. Thank you Karyna! ”
