Balancenter Offers Both Advanced Bodywork AND MassageThe Difference?
A runner called for "Massage" to rehab a post-surgical knee so she could run
again, as soon as possible. Although we offer both, she needed "Bodywork."
Here's why:
Sometimes we need "Massage."Swedish massage, effleurage, energy work, shiatsu, hot stone… often we want Deep Pressure Massage (often called “deep tissue”), a strong not a light touch, but still Massage. We’re tired, stressed, need to relax, want to pamper ourselves, maybe need to emotionally settle down and regroup. Massage can relieve tension, sore muscles and things like mild tension headaches.
Receiving a massage is relaxing and feels wonderful.

Other times we need "Bodywork."We need someone to evaluate our movement
restrictions and teach us stretches and exercises to regain our pain-free range of motion and rebalance our gait and posture. We need someone who can treat the deeper structures, the scar-tissue and trigger-points that cause our pain whether it’s a knee or shoulder, a headache, a chronic illness or an old football injury. Bodyworkers usually focus on getting you back to working or playing the way you need to.

Typically, Bodywork sessions combine Massage with other disciplines and are entirely
responsive to your needs that day. Your practitioner might relieve the pain you've had in your upper back, allow you to lapse into a happy doze during a foot massage and then work with you to gently release an iliopsoas that's been causing low back pain, returning later to melt away trigger-points in your neck... maybe focus on an old shoulder injury... Your bodyworker will teach you ways to maintain long-term results.

Sometimes you just want a Massaaaaage. Other times you have pain, posture
or emotional challenges to overcome with someone who can guide you
through a medical healing process. We can help you with either.
