About Holley DeShaw
My massage career began in 2004 at a multifaceted rehabilitation center specializing in Motor Vehicle Accidents and Workers Related Injuries. In that time I was able to study extensive scar tissue remodeling and edema techniques as well as functional applications for massage treatments in different stages of trauma healing.
In 2007 I began working at a sports specific therapy clinic in Portland and spent the next 3 years learning sports performance techniques and applications. I also began my journey working on medical teams and with athletes and sporting organizations. (some of the events are listed in the drop down bar at the bottom of this page*). It was during this time that I applied to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and did my initial rotation in at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista and began my work with both USA Canoe Kayak (USACK) and USA Track and Field (USATF).
I spent 2008-2012 working events with USA Track and Field (USATF) and made the London Olympic Medical Team in 2012. From 2015-2022 I also served for KTTAPE as a Medical Liaison to National Governing Bodies (NGB's), filmed taping videos, was a Medical Board Member, and consulted in new product development. These years took me across the nation and around the world.
Since 2013 I have worked events with Nike Football, Basketball and Track and Field. This ultimately led to working with individual Pro athletes throughout their careers. This also enabled me to begin working with other organizations, celebrity/charity foundations and sporting events.
In 2021 after about 14 years of primarily being on the road for work I began to explore working more full time in Oregon and spent time back in both sport performance and trauma related injury work.
Finally, it is a dream come true to be able to bring some of the knowledge, technology, and applications I have gathered from around the World to West Linn to a full time office at Oregon Sports Massage! I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey to your ultimate performance, health and wellness!
