Why Living Touch Massage?
Living Touch Massage, a family owned and operated company, has been serving the Bemidji area since 2004. Rita Scholl Bergstrom has over 25 years' experience as a massage and bodywork practitioner. Light and relaxing massage
Swedish and other Therapeutic massage techniques are primarily used for relaxation and warming muscle tissue, sometimes in preparation for deeper forms of massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
We combine deeper pressure massage techniques for health improvement, improved sports and daily performance as well as restoration and recovery from injury.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Prenatal Massage
Living Touch Massage has specially designed pregnancy cushions. Specialized cushions support the expectant mother so she is able to lay face down without putting pressure on the baby. It is best for women to wait until after their first trimester, especially if they do not routinely get massages. It is also preferred to have your massage approved by your physician (again, especially during early stages of pregnancy.)
Lymphatic Massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is manual manipulation of the lymphatic system to help flush and drain lymphatic fluid from the body. Lymphatic work can be used as a detoxification massage and is used as a medical treatment for lymphedema management.
Chair Massage
Massage chairs can be set up in a public setting or an office. Think about adding massage to your special event, conference, or Friday afternoon in the office. Ask how you can make chair massage part of any special event!

In Loving Memory of Paul Scholl
Paul was lost in a tragic hunting accident in November of 2014. Though we have suffered from his premature death, his spirit remains with us. "I would like to thank my pastors, Keith and Rachel Willard, of Real Life Christian Fellowship in Bemidji, Minnesota, and pastors Darrell and Marcia Todd of Word-N-Sound Ministries of Northern Minnesota. The love, help, prayer, and guidance they have given me, my children, and my family since the death of my husband, Paul, has made all the difference in our lives." - Rita |
