I’m Brandon Standorf, Licensed Massage Therapist. I am a native of Prairie du Chien, and the son of Cindy and Robert (Bob) Standorf. I graduated from Prairie du Chien High School in 1991and attended Augustana College in Rock Island, IL where I met my future wife. I earned a Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and moved to Portland, OR in 1997. In 2003, I moved to the Chicago, IL area with my fiancé and her daughter. In 2004, Rachel and I were married and celebrated our union in my hometown; it was on this day that I received my first life-changing massage treatment, a gift from a dear friend. While seeking to resolve my own chronic back pain, I discovered the benefits of therapeutic massage and became convinced of the effectiveness of these treatments and their capacity to improve daily comfort and quality of life. I earned my Massage Therapy Certificate from Harper College in Palatine, IL in 2009; shortly afterward, we relocated our family to the mountains outside of Denver, CO; meanwhile, I practiced my new craft at Elements Therapeutic Massage in Littleton, CO.
My wife, Rachel, is native to the Chicago area; she provides dog sitting services at our home and does business as Good Dog Sits; we love dogs, though we don't currently have any of our own. Our daughter is grown and lives in Michigan near her maternal grandparents. Objects in this picture may now be balder and grayer than they appear. |
Bluffstone Therapeutic |
After moving back to town in October of 2013, I realized that there were many people in this area who could benefit from the work that I had learned to do. In January of 2015 my wife and I opened Bluffstone Therapeutic Massage in our home in order to share my unique skills with anyone looking for an alternative to surgery and medications. Over the last ten years, I have performed more than 7500 massages, and I have treated more than 400 clients locally since opening our doors to the public.

My wife and I enjoy biking, camping, cooking and growing our garden together; Rachel is an amateur photographer and writer, and I play music locally with a group of friends. We are happy to be living in beautiful Prairie du Chien where my family has lived for generations.
Plantar Fasciitis Client
I just want to thank Brandon Standorf for fixing my plantar fasciitis. Was at the point were i couldn't even walk at the end of a work day and after a few sessions now i think i can start jogging again !!!!!! Pre-Surgical Shoulder Client After a visit to my physician, I was facing possible surgery on my shoulder for my limited range of motion and frequent pain extending down my arm. In attempting to avoid an operation, I decided to try deep tissue massage first. I have now had 6 or 7 sessions with Brandon and am experiencing significant improvement. This is not your “feel good” type of massage, but I am delighted to say my motion is returning and the pain has been reduced significantly. I recently met with an orthopedic specialist and he supported including Brandon's work as part of our treatment plan. I am now looking forward to a full recovery. Chronic Pain Client Brandon’s unique skills and therapy go way beyond an ordinary massage; his treatment has quite literally changed my life and helped me manage my chronic daily pain. I have tried several massage therapists, all of whom were unwilling or unable to work deep enough to release the knots and adhesions in my muscles. He possesses a healing touch that has brought me complete pain relief and allowed me to return to normal functioning for the first time in many years. Active Client Bluffstone provides a warm, welcoming atmostphere. Brandon is very professional and thorough in the interview process going over medical history and determining health goals. He continually checks on your comfort throughout treatment without being intrusive. He addresses all questions and concerns, and has common sense suggestions for future health goals. Overall, a great experience - looking forward to continuing treatment and feeling even better! |
