Kat Kocurek specializes in Rolfing® Structural Integration, a form of manual therapy that addresses pain, posture, and movement limitations by working with myofascial and skeletal structures. Sessions typically last 75 minutes and follow a 'test, intervene, re-test' protocol, incorporating both hands-on bodywork and movement instruction. Clients are asked to wear appropriate clothing to allow for assessments and movement demonstrations during sessions.

Based in SE Portland, Kat works with individuals seeking relief from chronic pain, injury recovery, and improved body awareness. Her trauma-informed approach prioritizes client comfort and communication, with a focus on creating lasting changes in how clients experience their bodies. Workshops like self-massage for the neck and shoulders are also offered periodically.

Clients consistently note her ability to identify and address root causes of discomfort, with many reporting significant improvements in mobility and pain reduction. Her practice is licensed and she maintains a welcoming, accessible clinic space with clear booking options and consultation availability for new clients.

Kat brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, intuition, and genuine care to her work that immediately put me at ease. She has a natural curiosity and a goofy sense of humor that make her an absolute joy to be around. She’s truly invested in understanding your body, which makes each session feel both supportive and human. What stood out most to me is how intentional and attentive she is. She listens closely and offers guidance that continues to be helpful long after the session ends. I left my appointment feeling more aligned, grounded, and connected to my body.

I cannot say enough good things about Kat! I was brand new to Rolfing and had won a few free sessions after a gym competition raffle. I showed up with no idea what to expect, but knew I had chronic tightness and discomfort in certain areas of my body and thought at least it would be a type of massage if nothing else. Kat sat down with me to get to know me, introduced me to the practice, and was absolutely amazing. I learned so much about my own body and patterns that were causing limited mobility and discomfort. She helped me to decrease regular migraines and taught me how to help improve my mobility at home regularly. If you're curious about your own body tension, movement patterns, or have a lingering injury definitely check her out!

Kat is excellent at what she does. I’ve seen many massage therapists and physical therapists over the years, and Kat ranks among the very best. Her hands-on technique when it comes to massaging and manipulating the body is great. And her knowledge of the human body is impressive. On my last visit, she gave me relief from my symptoms and pointed out the likely cause. I highly recommend her.

Kat is phenomenal at what she does. As a trans masc person, I can get pretty nervous seeing new body workers, but Kat made sure I felt as comfortable as possible. She listens very well, does a great job letting you know what she's going to do (and getting consent!) before doing it, and overall just helping you feel better. I came in once with some achilles troubles and another time with some neck/back pain and she helped both times. Highly recommend seeing Kat for your body needs!

Kat is an incredible practitioner and deeply skilled in her craft. The bodywork I’ve received from her has been very impactful and provided relief from ongoing neck and shoulder pain. Kat brings a warmth and gentleness to her sessions that immediately put me at ease. I can’t recommend her enough!

Kat is amazing at rolfing! As an aged athlete with past sports injuries, Kat helped loosen the sticky areas in my neck, shoulder and back so true healing with full movement occurred. Kat's website thoroughly explains the process of rolfing and it is up to you how many sessions are needed before you reach your "feeling much better" outcome. Her office is welcoming and warm. I tended to wear loose sweatpants and a sports bra for the areas Kat's work was focused on my body. Highly recommend this wonderful practitioner.

I have been working with Kat for over a year and a half and her approach to your wellness is thoughtful, informative and healing. I see Kat for her monthly membership and whether it's working on my chronic upper back or neck ailments from a previous accident and sitting at a desk all day – or bringing her things that randomly pop up with my body, Kat strives to get to the root of the issue. She will explain the work she does on you and get into the details of the muscle and bone connections. And, she continues the work of your wellness outside of her space by providing helpful videos for stretching and movement that can be done in between appointments. If you are interested in trying Rolfing, or are looking for a new practitioner in this field, look no further than Kat.

Kat is incredible. She is very knowledgeable and an excellent listener. She combines Rolfing techniques, massage, and yogic principles, all of which she is well versed in, to help heal chronic and new aches in the body. We have shared a couple sessions and the healing was immediate. Kat addressed immobility and pain in my neck and jaw, and I felt relief the next day. We address psoas and sciatica pain, and as someone who’s regularly received massages and other body work, Kat’s speciality is unmatched. 10/10 recommend!

Kat is an excellent professional, she has a deep knowledge about the human body and she was able to explain how the body operates and it’s connections in a simple and easy way to understand. Kat is a caring and attentive practitioner, as someone that has a hard time receiving bodywork she definitely made me feel super comfortable and at easy while addressing my tension areas. I highly recommend her work to anyone looking for chronic pain relief.

I started seeing Kat for chronic pain in my lower back that has lasted for years and resisted most forms of treatment. She has a gentle approach, explains the work, collaborates to help me feel the most comfortable and in control of my treatment. She also provides links and videos to help me deepen my understanding of the work and practice at home. I've had about 12 sessions, I am amazed at how much better my back feels. I am more functional from day to day and my quality of life has definitely improved. I am extremely grateful for the work she does, and strongly recommend her.
