Reset Your Body, Reclaim Your Life
Meet the Heart Behind Balanced Bodywork
Have you ever been in so much pain that you’ve had to cancel plans and stay home? Are you running out of options that healthcare tries to offer, because none can seem to address your symptoms? Are you ready to experience an effective approach to pain management that’s non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical?
Chronic Pain is Common
Relief is Possible
You’re not alone—there are over 100 million individuals in the United States that meet the criteria for Chronic Pain Syndrome. And thanks to studies highlighting the benefits of Myofascial Release and Neuromuscular Therapy, Massage Therapy is an excellent non-pharmaceutical approach to pain care.
If you are one of the 100 million trying to alleviate chronic and persistent pain that no other doctor can identify, Balanced Bodywork is the place for you.
