My motto for this work is “gains without pain”—unlike many forms of stretching, it shouldn’t hurt! I meet your body where it’s at, tailoring each session to what you need that day. Whether you’re training for your favorite sport, working at a desk, painting a mural, or simply dealing with whatever life has thrown at your body, these sessions can help you feel more mobile, less restricted, and more at home in your body. You’ll stay dressed for the entire session, so come wearing loose, comfortable clothing you can easily move around in. Please skip skirts, short-shorts, jeans, or anything else that restricts movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611574f9f1aa9c0235554d31/1647398777923-F4BHZ1NMY35MXBZZB3AP/unsplash-image-hBLf2nvp-Yc.jpg Services - Clinical Deep Tissue This is a traditional, therapeutic massage aimed at effecting change in the tissues. Some people express concern about the “deep” in deep tissue wondering if this means it’ll be painful. My response is that change can happen with very little pressure as well as heavier pressure depending on what you need at that moment. Sessions can range from deeply relaxing to highly productive and are tailored to your specific needs. https://www.rulandbodywork.com/about daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847922235-4M2PA8TEMZ0UO0K5O366/image-asset.jpeg About https://www.rulandbodywork.com/appointments daily 0.75 2024-12-22 https://www.rulandbodywork.com/new-page daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://www.rulandbodywork.com/home daily 1.0 2024-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611574f9f1aa9c0235554d31/ac2c4487-2274-46bb-aa69-514500d8a7fa/IMG_2796.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/611574f9f1aa9c0235554d31/2df318fd-1817-452b-abeb-647bd6dca26c/IMG_2770.jpg Home - Welcome to Ruland Bodywork I’m Leala, a certified massage therapist and bodyworker practicing in Oakland’s Grand Lake district. I approach bodywork with curiosity, specificity, and a genuine interest in figuring out what will help you feel and move better. I work with people dealing with chronic tension, pain, injuries, physical demands, and the accumulated wear and tear of being a person with a body. My work draws from clinical deep tissue massage, myofascial techniques, assisted stretching, and movement-based approaches. I don’t believe that more pressure is always better, or that there is one technique that works for everyone. I pay attention to what I’m feeling beneath my hands, what you’re experiencing on the table, and how your body responds as we work. I’m continually studying anatomy, movement, pain, and new approaches to bodywork—not for the sake of collecting techniques, but because I want to be good at what I do. After years in practice, I’m still fascinated by how much there is to learn. My goal isn’t to “fix” you. It’s to work with you—to reduce pain and restriction, improve mobility, and help you feel more comfortable and capable in your body. https://www.rulandbodywork.com/book-a-room daily 0.75 2022-03-04 https://www.rulandbodywork.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-12-22 https://www.rulandbodywork.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.rulandbodywork.com/amenities daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559067723767-ANKBH85H88LDAZNUEAPU/image-asset.jpeg Amenities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559067734176-O5AXM5RPYAF7PVSNLNLC/image-asset.jpeg Amenities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559069547586-44U6TNEOIUXFUMOVYJD8/image-asset%2B%25286%2529.jpg Amenities - Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559069559239-89WLV8Z7T1XAGJ6DQPHW/image-asset%2B%25286%2529.jpg Amenities - Natus error sit voluptatem. https://www.rulandbodywork.com/photos daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077923851-Q297N3DYZ1ZBTJB6ABCN/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844979.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077922415-6D8BAZZ7T7A1HSH21ZAU/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845038.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077920603-JUBHW4KDH25DG0MQDK3G/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845117.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077920742-3SIL63URO11ATNLY8XKK/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845127.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077920902-FM1ZWBJMUY6ZT7PR7ZW6/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_934801.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077925734-STE9TZLH17RRUSB3SZ4Z/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845128.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077923852-4N68IBP65DF9SHU5YARB/13.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077923195-RZRZLLJQ9SPCNQSU3M97/2.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce845d89c04c80001f662e8/1559077925178-ISPKCWBL9IE0ULWRVBPA/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844924.jpg Photos
