About Me

My name is Sara Friske and I am the owner and Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist of Align Bodywork. I received training at Blue Sky School of Professional Massage & Therapeutic Bodywork in their Medical Intensive Track. I am also a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, working primarily in acute and subacute patient care since 2014 and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.

Personally, I am very passionate about all aspects of wellness. I love to run ultramarathons, lift weights, road bike, hike, travel, and just spend time with my husband and dogs. Continuous learning is very important to me. You will often find me reading textbooks about movement and the human body, personal growth books, and attending on average 60 hours of continuing education courses a year.

I believe in utilizing a holistic approach to assist the body to function to its full capabilities. Via collaboration with you and my training and experience, I focus to:

• Restore function and encourage healing in areas of soft tissue restriction and trauma throughout the entire body that do, or have the ability to, cause pain, movement dysfunction, and poor performance
• Help the body and mind relax, reset, and restore energy
• Assist in improving function of the circulatory and lymphatic systems to promote the body’s natural healing

Bodywork appointments with me are primarily therapeutic. Relaxation & a low stimulation environment are present, but targeted muscle work and movement are the key components. If you are seeking long, flowing Swedish massage strokes and hot stones or towels, I will not be the best fit for your needs at this time.
