Who We Help

More than temporary relief

Rooted Manual Therapy works with people who want more than a relaxing hour on the table. Snowboarders, paddle boarders, climbers, runners, whitewater enthusiasts, active parents, and anyone navigating chronic pain or an old injury — if you want to understand your body, restore movement, and get back to the activities you love, you're in the right place.

Why Rooted Is Different

Care built around your body, not a menu of services

75

Minute Sessions

Full one-on-one follow-up sessions with real time for assessment, treatment, and education — never rushed.

01

Thorough Assessment

Every session begins with understanding your history, movement patterns, and goals — not a generic routine.

02

Not Relaxation Massage

This is functional manual therapy — clinical and assessment-driven throughout. Most sessions are clothed; select techniques, like myofascial work, may call for specific areas to be unclothed when needed, always handled professionally.

03

Individualized Care

Techniques are chosen based on what your body needs in that moment — never a fixed protocol.

04

Education Included

You'll leave understanding what's happening in your body, with home recommendations you can actually use.

05

Built for Independence

The goal is progress and self-sufficiency — occasional maintenance care, not endless dependency.

How It Works

A process, not a formula

Assess

We start by understanding your history, movement patterns, symptoms, goals, and the factors that may be contributing to how you feel.

Treat

Skilled, hands-on techniques are selected specifically for your body and your situation — never a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Restore

You'll leave with greater body awareness, movement strategies, and tools to support long-term function on your own.

Meet Your Practitioner

Rob Díona, LMT

Rob has spent years refining his craft through hands-on practice and continual study — always driven by the same question: what is actually happening in this person's body, and why?

A husband, father, and lifelong outdoor adventurer, Rob brings the same curiosity to the treatment room that he brings to the mountains and rivers of Montana. Clients appreciate that he listens deeply, explains what he finds, and treats every body as its own story.

What Clients Say

"Rob is a highly skilled practitioner, attuned to what your body needs. He listens closely to whatever you're dealing with and tailors every session to get to the root of the problem."

— Alissa M.

"I stopped in for a session with Rob while riding my bicycle across the country, from the Pacific Ocean to Virginia Beach. A week and a half in, my body had really tightened up. Rob helped loosen me back up and showed me exactly what I needed to do to stay healthy for the rest of the ride. Six out of five stars!!"

— Patrick McAleer

"Rob is knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely compassionate. After I injured my lower back, he guided my recovery through hands-on bodywork and educated me every step of the way."

— Kelly W.
