Aspen Root
Deep Tissue
Zack is the owner of Aspen Root Deep Tissue, an independent massage therapy practice located within Halcyon Bodyworks in Bend, Oregon. A graduate of Sage School of Massage, Zack has been practicing since 2020 and specializes in deep tissue massage, sports massage, trigger point therapy, and therapeutic Swedish massage.
His work is geared toward active bodies and people who want massage to help them move, recover, and feel better in their everyday lives. Whether you’re dealing with muscular tension from work and daily life, recovering after a big day in the mountains, or simply want focused therapeutic bodywork, Zack adapts each session to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
An avid mountain biker, snowboarder, stand-up paddleboarder, and hiker, Zack understands firsthand how much we ask of our bodies here in Central Oregon. His approach combines deeper, focused therapeutic work with an attentive and compassionate style, creating a space where clients feel comfortable, heard, and involved in their care.
Through Aspen Root Deep Tissue, Zack is building a practice centered around helping people stay active and connected to the things they love—whether that’s the gym, the mountains, the river, or the trails.

Testimonials
“If you want a truly deep tissue massage, I highly recommend Zack. I left Bend in way better shape than I arrived. He’s friendly, professional, and a true master of his craft. Easily one of the best massages I’ve ever had.”
Ruth Croft - Ultramarathoner
“I came to see Zack for acute neck pain and nerve damage from a skiing accident, and I lucked out! He has a perfect combination of intuition and strong deep tissue techniques. He was very caring, listened intently, and was invested in my healing process. I’ve been a massage therapist since ‘99 and am very picky when it comes to bodywork. We worked together for 2 months until I was pain free and am so grateful for his expertise!”
Star Hayward - Massage Therapist
“Zack is an excellent massage therapist, coming from another massage therapist. He gives a great deep tissue massage with lots of pressure. Finds all the sticky spots that need working out. Listens to my needs regarding pace and pressure.”
Jess Hampton - Massage Therapist
“Zack is an excellent massage therapist who is good at identifying issues from the moment you walk in. He helped me tremendously with chronic shoulder issues I have. He is very personable and makes the massage space very comfortable and inviting.”
John Creason - Pilot
“From my first appointment with Zack, I knew I had found an attentive and skillful practitioner. He is a good listener to both your words and to what your body is communicating, his genuine care is evident. I leave each appointment feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.”
Dennis Lynn - OSU professor
“My first time visiting Zack, I was a bit skeptical because I always ask for deep tissue and rarely get it. This time was different… Zack listened, and I finally received the best deep tissue massage I've ever had. His communication was excellent throughout, checking in to make sure I was comfortable and the pressure was just right. I left feeling heard, safe, and free of the tension that had been weighing on me.”
Whitney Locke - Teacher/Coach
“Imagine a world where we all acted like aspen trees… share energy and stress with one another as a unit - so that we can better handle the ups and downs of life.”
