How four consecutive titles as Iceland's Strongest Man led to a journey of self-healing
Formerly known as Boris, Óskar became Iceland's strongest man for four years from 2005 to 2008. He trained in firefighting, smoke diving, and search & rescue in the Icelandic Coast Guard before turning to sports. Through his discipline and persistence, he trained for seven years to become Iceland's strongest man. His performance in three world series ranked him as top 11 overall and, according to Men's Journal, he is one of Iceland's 11 most 'badass' athletes of all time.
Throughout his career, Óskar raised awareness for charities and human rights groups by organizing and participating in fundraisers, concerts, sport shows and town fairs. He also acted in movies and TV shows, occasionally still getting in front of the camera today. He has also worked as a youth counselor, life coach and motivational speaker.
​
In 2009, Óskar had a near fatal injury causing spine and nerve damage that suddenly changed his life! From here on, his own rehabilitation set him on the course of self-healing, the study of the human body and its ability to repair itself through circulation and life balance. His fundamental understanding of the mechanics of the body sent Óskar on a journey to find his place and purpose as an extraordinary masseur and healer. His philosophy is to gather as much or even more talent, focus, and discipline to massage therapy as he did as a strongman or athlete.
Bringing his practice to you
Massage Treatment
& Healing Technique
Spreading his weight over a larger area of contact than conventional massage techniques, Óskar is comfortably able to use more pressure with multiple repetitions along larger areas than usual. This movement manipulates the fascia considered to be the emotional grid in our bodies. His flow technique creates an increase in circulation to promote healing from within.

His clients with physical injuries attest his methods have helped them to accelerate healing or begin healing where they had previously had little progress. His unique and extremely effective relaxing techniques are also pleasurable treatments for clients wanting wellness or spa massages.
​
Self empowerment
Positive Conversation Therapy
His heartfelt guidance as a conversational therapist and spiritual mentor developed from his experience of motivation and influence, as a trainer, masseur, healer and a public figure.
As a survivor of an isolated and abusive childhood, followed by education and the experience of self-healing in his adult years, Óskar’s passion is helping people develop coping skills and to motivate them to thrive and excel.
​
He served on the Board of the Youth Association, was a member of the Common Health and Anti-drug Committee, acted as an anti-drug and violence representative for local sports teams and was a member of the Anti-drug and Violence Committee of the South Coast County, as well as a counselor for a rehabilitation foster home on the south coast of Iceland.
​
Óskar was selected at World’s Strongest Man 2007 to give an inspirational speech for children from troubled homes and has used television and radio as a medium to speak out, raising an awareness of child abuse and for pro athlete mental health.
Not to be mistaken for a typical spa treatment. I was fortunate to find out about Flow Massage. An extraordinary destination experience for anyone visiting Iceland. Oskar was able to free up a pinched nerve in my shoulder. Within two sessions I was pain free. His massage techniques release stressful emotions, leaving a feeling of deep restorative relaxation.

WHAT ÓSKAR'S CLIENTS SAY
After a car accident I could only turn my head half way to the right due to muscular tension and pain. I can thank Flow Massage that I have gotten back my full movement again. Óskar is the only person who was able to help me make immense progress. I had already been seeing a physio therapist for a year when Óskar called and said he could help me fix my pain I thought this was extremely optimistic, but I gave it a chance. I was pain free after only a few sessions with him. All of the flexibility and range of motion I was told I would never be able to perform again are now unproblematic. I encourage everyone that is dealing with pain to see Oskar straight away. I am thankful for everything.

I have Óskar to thank for being able to play soccer today. My body was so imbalanced that I had difficulties walking without discomfort. Doctors and physio therapists had no solutions for me. This uniquely impactful healing method which came as a recommendation, has helped me more than I could have imagined. I strongly recommend Flow Massage for anyone.
