Massage and Wellness

Deep Tissue Massage
Focuses on deeper layers of muscles and fascia to address chronically tense problem areas, neck, shoulder, or low back by using deeper pressure and slower movements to isolate muscles, restore movement and relieve pain.

Sports Massage
Utilizes deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, cross-fiber friction, as well as, passive/active release, Swedish strokes, joint mobilization and stretching, which prepares an athlete for optimal performance in different stages.
Hot Stone Massage
Combines the use of heated stones with other massage techniques. This includes having warm basalt stones placed on the body or massaged directly on the body to soften the muscles for a very restorative and soothing massage.
Reflexology
Focuses on stimulating the body’s own healing mechanism by massaging points on the feet that affect related areas of the body. It relaxes the body and mind, reduces tension and anxiety, improves circulation of blood and lymph, and strengthens the immune system.
Reiki
An ancient healing modality from Japan which focuses energy helping facilitate natural healing on all levels. It is a noninvasive practice which channels universal energy to stimulate the body’s ability to calm, balance, and heal itself. It involves a practitioner placing hands on the body in various positions, but it can also be performed completely hands-off.
Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Treatments
Essential oils are chemical compounds found in some plants that can have powerful and beneficial effects on the body, mind and emotions. At Body Balance we use high quality essential oils that are therapeutic grade and certified pure.
