MEET CATHY BRAMHALL - OWNER, LASER CLINICIAN

My husband, John, and I have lived in this incredible community of Bend, OR for 20 years.  After my retirement from well over two decades of teaching in Northern New York State, we retired to Central Oregon to be near our daughter, son-in-law and son, and to be grandparents to our two incredible grandsons.  We didn’t miss a moment with them, and they are now grown young men. 

Over the years, I have been fortunate to be a part of this active, healthy community and involved with so many people and aspects of living here in Central Oregon. Our entire family loves the outdoors and all the mountains, lakes, forests, deserts and the ocean that Oregon has to offer.  I LOVE dogs, as my clients all know, and we have two named  Huey and Bear.  I also love weight training, hiking, water activities, sewing, gardening, cooking and reading. 

Having been a runner all my life, I blamed the foot pain that began in my early 60’s on my years of running. My orthopedic surgeon nixed that theory and said it was a hereditary condition of mid-foot arthritis.  Little did I know that this very painful journey with both feet would lead me to something that has become a passion in my life which feeds my very soul...PBM, or photobiomodulation/deep tissue laser therapy. 

When my foot pain disabled my lifestyle, there was no one in the area lasering, so I had to endure two separate foot surgeries and bone fusions that took months to heal.  A couple years following my last surgery, I began having pain again as one of the fusions did not take.  It was then I found someone lasering, and to my astonishment, it healed my foot.  No more pain! I knew I was destined to learn about PBM and begin a journey of healing!!!  

That was the start of something wonderful!  I became certified to laser through AIMLA (American Institute of Laser Applications).  That certification includes Medical Laser Safety, Scientific Basis of Medical Lasers, General Laser Therapy Principles, and Deep Tissue Laser Therapy for Trigger Points and Fascia.  I worked two years for the person who healed me, then started my own business here in Bend, namely, Bend Healing Laser Therapy, LLC, in 2019.   Since that time, I have mentored others so that more people can benefit from the healing power of laser therapy.   

Healing and helping people is my passion, and I am deeply committed to my clients with my knowledge, experience and years of treating them. I know real pain and how disabling it can be, and I know what the laser has done to enhance my life and free me to do all the things I love. Laser therapy is an incredible healing modality.   Don't hesitate!  Please let me help you begin your healing journey today!
