THE FITFLEX LAB: ABOUT
Aging doesn't mean slowing down!
At FITFLEX Lab, we empower adults to trust their body’s ability to adapt, heal, and thrive with the right environment, guidance, and support.
OUR STORY
Founded in 2003 as Bodywork By Casey, we began as a small massage practice. By 2020, our community’s needs had outgrown traditional treatment rooms. Clients felt lost in cycles of disconnected care, being passed from one specialist to another without lasting solutions.
That’s when we launched our first medical fitness clinic—bringing together science-backed training, therapeutic care, and lifestyle coaching. In 2025, we rebranded as FITFLEX Lab, reflecting our evolution into Portland’s hub for medical fitness, resilience, and longevity.
Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between healthcare and fitness, empowering clients with the knowledge, tools, and support to live strong, independent, and pain-free lives.
