What type of massage do you need?
At Balance Wellness, we do not discriminate when it comes to modality! Most clients come to us looking for either Swedish or deep tissue massage. It’s our goal for every session to contain both the full body relaxation of gentle Swedish work as well as more advanced techniques to relieve areas of tension. We draw from a variety of modalities, including neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, shiatsu, reflexology, acupressure, advanced bodywork and structural massage. We take the time before every session to discuss your concerns and what you want out of a session, and decide together how to customize our work to match your needs.
Whether it’s long hours at the computer leaving your shoulders chronically tight, or a heavy workout leaving your legs sore, or simply being on your feet all day leaving your body tired and aching, our therapists will use every tool available to them to provide you with the relief and relaxation you’re looking for. Don’t hesitate to add on to your massage from a list of other pampering Add On Services
We space our appointments apart to give us time between sessions to get to know you, and hopefully identify the source of your discomfort. It is always our goal for the effects of the massage to last long after you get off the table.
So come on in! Our expertise sets us apart, come feel the difference!
In our regular sixty or ninety minute massages, our therapists will use every technique at our disposal to make your session just right for you. Steamed towels, aromatherapy, and heated tables are included to make every session special. That is a $30 value that comes complimentary.
Once again, if you’re looking for a little extra pampering, check out our add-ons!. They can easily be added to an already-booked session, and are a great way to make the session your own.
For next-level relaxation, try a hot stone massage! A full ninety minutes on the table will leave your muscles feeling melted as we use hot stones to rub tight knots. For those with chronic, unrelenting muscle tension, this session is a game changer!
Our Ultimate massages give you an hour or ninety minutes on the table, plus three add-ons of your choice! This makes the perfect gift, as your recipient can customize the session themselves.
Hot Stones Focus: The perfect jump-start to a relaxing massage, we melt away muscle tension with fifteen minutes of hot stone massage
Scrub Focus: Whether it’s your hands or your feet (or both!) our scrub focus can invigorate and exfoliate. Can also do a back and shoulder scrub too.
Steamed Aromatherapy: Every session comes with complimentary aromatherapy; this add-on takes it a step further. A steamed towel is gently wrapped around your face while the essential oil of your choice is massaged into your scalp.
Deep Hot and Cold Treatment: We use special oils to help heat the soft tissue to aid in the relaxation and breaking down of stubborn knots and old scar tissue. This also helps speed up circulation to aid in recovery from injury or overly stressed muscles. Then after the detailed work is done we massage in other oils that leave a deep cooling effect to calm nerves and relieve pain for hours to come.
Ben’s Deep Hot and Cold Treatment: Ben uses special oils to help heat the soft tissue to aid in the relaxation and breaking down of stubborn knots and old scar tissue. This also helps speed up circulation to aid in recovery from injury or overly stressed muscles. Then after the detailed work is done we massage in other oils that leave a deep cooling effect to calm nerves and relieve pain for hours to come.
Many people become interested in massage for several reasons: to relax and de-stress, for relief from chronic aches and pains, and to rehab a strained part of the body.
Our massage therapists see lots of runners and athletes that want us to target specific areas of the body. We also see a lot of clients that are over-worked and needing relief from chronic aches and pains associated with long hours at the computer.
In choosing a massage that fits your needs, it is important to identify your hierarchy of needs. Is your highest need to de-stress? Or do you need help in healing a specific area?
We see some people get the most benefit with just a nice pampering, nurturing, and relaxing Swedish massage. Stress is the number one thing causing our bodies to break down! Other clients come in wanting us to perform exceptionally deep tissue and myofascial massages so they leave feeling very worked over. For those clients, a relaxing Swedish massage feels “froofy” and is almost aggravating to them because they don’t feel like it had any benefit.
Let’s just say that all massage and all types have huge benefits. Massage has been studied now for many years and shown to have a myriad of benefits for everyone. If you are interested in the more advanced modalities you will need to research a business like Balance Wellness and Massage, which caters to those types of services and to those clients.
Expecting to go to a common day spa and get a very advanced deep tissue and neuromuscular massage is like expecting to get your transmission rebuilt at the local Jiffy Lube. They either won’t be able to do it or they will try to accommodate and miss the mark by a long shot. Most therapists either fall on the side of relaxation specialists, or clinical body workers. It is all about where there passion is and what they think is most beneficial, relaxation or helping fix the body.
In our society today, whether you are an athlete or just the average person putting in way to many hours in front of a computer or standing on concrete floors, you probably are interested in long term relief of your chronic aches and pains. In this case you will need to experiment a bit with the Deep tissue modalities. Deep tissue simply means that the focus of the massage is on the deeper structures of the body that are usually referring to the soft tissue connecting to the spine or hips. Those are the main muscles that are directly effecting posture.
I always recommend finding a massage therapist that has lots of advanced training. You will be able to tell the difference! Think of all the modalities and training the therapist has received as tools in their tool box that they can access to address all sorts of body issues. We hope you come see us on your own journey towards health, less stress, and a better body.
