Expect MORE from massage. Stay Sharp. Get Forged. Chris understands the toll that stress can take on the body and mind.

ANVIL Bodyworks provides precision bodywork for people who carry a lot — physically, mentally, and emotionally — helping them feel safe, reset, and reconnected to themselves. Chris Altrogge
Owner - ANVIL Bodyworks LLC

Welcome to ANVIL Bodyworks, where we share in your transformative journey to health and wellness. From a passion cultivated since childhood, Chris has evolved into a Licensed Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, specializing in breath and bodywork for both physical and mental well-being. His personal journey, from embracing a misguided approach to self-care to a life-changing realization in 2017, forms the foundation of his mission and sparked a commitment to share the power of self-care with others. With a background in martial arts, including 20+ years as a defensive tactics instructor, Chris draws parallels between the precision of a samurai sword and the need for individuals to be sharp and strong. As a Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, Chris employs therapeutic, spa, athletic, and deep tissue modalities, along with acupressure techniques, to eliminate waste, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility. At ANVIL Bodyworks, Chris's philosophy centers on each client being a 'precision instrument' requiring professional 'tuning.' A commitment to providing productive sessions with included tools, such as aromatherapeutic essential oils, hot packs, hot stones, cupping, and the Dolphin MPS, defines the ANVIL experience. Chris encourages clients to adopt a ‘healthy self-interest’ and to expect ‘more’ from their massage, emphasizing that recuperation and rejuvenation are necessities, not luxuries. Chris is dedicated to helping individuals minimize unseen stress, take time to breathe, and stay sharp. At ANVIL Bodyworks, the mission is clear—apply exacting pressure through bodywork to remove impurities and help clients get back to 'doing what they do,' taking care of those who depend on them. Self-care is not just a concept; it's a commitment to equipping individuals to take care of themselves so they can better care for others. Expect more, experience more, and embark on a journey of wellness with Chris at ANVIL Bodyworks. Additionally, Chris is a certified ISSA Elite Trainer and has been active in the health and wellness space for over 25 years. An Army Veteran, former Supervisor with the Colorado Department of Corrections, and DoD contractor; Chris continually strives to strike harmony between the week and the weekend enjoying motorcycling, hiking, fishing, reading, and photography.

You can change your mind during a session.

Maybe the pressure you asked for feels different today. Maybe a position needs adjusting. Maybe you simply need a pause.

Tell me. Your feedback helps me respond while we’re still in the appointment.

As Massage Therapy Awareness Week continues, this is one thing I want you to remember: your voice belongs in your ANVIL Client Experience, from beginning to end.

10/29/2026

Take a look at this week’s calendar. There’s probably someone counting on you in nearly every part of it.

Now ask yourself: where have I made room for me?

I’m not asking you to overhaul your life. Start with something that fits—a quiet evening, a walk, or an appointment you’ve been putting off.

The everyday heroes caring for everyone else deserve care, too. What will you make time for this week?

10/28/2026

Some of Pueblo’s everyday heroes wear uniforms. Others are the voices on the phone when someone needs help.

On National First Responders Day, I want to thank our firefighters, EMS teams, law enforcement officers, and dispatchers for serving this community.

Behind every role is a person with a life and needs of their own. I hope you have people and places that offer support, too.

With sincere gratitude,
Chris

After a busy week, it can be hard to answer a simple question: what do I need today?

You’re welcome to take a moment with it here.

Perhaps you want attention to an area of tension. Perhaps you want time to unwind. Perhaps this is your first appointment and you’d like to begin slowly.

During Massage Therapy Awareness Week, I’m highlighting the conversation behind the ANVIL Client Experience. Your answer helps guide our time together.

10/25/2026

National Massage Therapy Awareness Week begins today, October 25–31. I’d like to use it to make the experience a little more familiar.

At ANVIL, we start with you: what you’re feeling, what matters today, and what feels comfortable. I select appropriate techniques with that conversation in mind, and they’re included in your session price.

You don’t need to choose a modality before you arrive.

What would you like to know about your first ANVIL Client Experience?

10/23/2026

You already make a lot of decisions in a day. Your appointment doesn’t need to become another list of upgrades to sort through.

At ANVIL, I begin with your goals and comfort. The appropriate techniques we select are included in the price of your session, without upsells.

That’s part of the ANVIL Client Experience: listening, thoughtful choices, and care shaped around you.

If you’ve been considering a visit, I’m happy to answer your questions.

10/22/2026

Sometimes we stay quiet because we don’t want to be difficult. We tolerate a position, accept more pressure than we want, or save a question until the appointment is over.

You can speak up here. I welcome your feedback, whether you need lighter pressure, a different position, or a pause.

Your comfort matters throughout your ANVIL Client Experience. You don’t have to apologize for telling me what you need.

10/21/2026

Before trying something unfamiliar, you deserve a conversation.

If you’re curious about lymphatic techniques, bring your questions. We’ll discuss your goals, relevant health history, and whether the approach is appropriate for you, including healthcare guidance when needed.

An available technique isn’t automatically the right choice for every person.

I want your ANVIL Client Experience to reflect your needs, with room to ask, understand, and make choices about your comfort.

10/19/2026

Seeing a new technique can bring up questions. Cupping is a good example: what does it feel like, what should I expect, and is it appropriate for me?

Ask me. I want you to understand an option before deciding whether you want it included.

Cupping may be incorporated into your ANVIL Client Experience when appropriate, with no additional technique charge. You can also decline it. Your preferences matter.

10/18/2026

Fall gives us plenty of reasons to keep moving: a trail to explore, a workout to return to, a weekend project waiting at home.

Alongside those plans, leave room to notice how you feel.

When you come to ANVIL, tell me what’s been keeping you active and what you’d like from your time here. I’ll shape the session around your needs and comfort.

What have you been enjoying this October?
