BODY THERAPY

By working through the nervous system as well as the muscular system, therapeutic massage helps relieve tension and strain. You gain awareness about your body and how to change behaviors and activities that contribute to imbalance, muscle tension and pain.

At Center of Balance, we offer private sessions in a variety of techniques, including Deep Tissue, CranioSacral Therapy, Shiatsu, Myofascial Release and Feldenkrais. To set up an appointment, please contact the Therapist who best suits your needs.
