Muscle Balancing

Rates

BodyBalance Massage is a unique therapy for the treatment of musculoskeletal imbalances. These imbalances encompass most of the aches and pains we all suffer from at one time or another. BodyBalance therapy eliminates the cause of the pain, so the symptoms go away. We've been able to eliminate the pain and suffering of hundreds of patients who had been told that nothing could be done for them. This therapy works great on sports injuries like rotator cuff strains and equally well on repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.

Since structural imbalances cause the vast majority of aches and pains people suffer from, it is extremely important to maintain structural balance, especially if you want to enjoy improved health and a better quality of life. When a joint of your body is misaligned, it throws abnormal stress on certain areas of the joint. If a tendon is stressed and irritated tendonitis will develop. If bursas are irritated, the result is bursitis. These irritations to the tendon and bursa may be caused by muscular hypertension. When a muscle is over-stressed, it accumulates damage, making the imbalance worse or creating another misalignment. Some misalignments cause the cartilage in a joint to wear out abnormally fast or certain areas to receive stress your body tries to protect itself from. This leads to osteoarthritis (a.k.a. Degenerative Joint Disease). Spinal misalignments usually cause inflammation and pressure on a spinal nerve. This causes weakness, tingling, numbness or pain or otherwise affects the normal function of whatever area of your body the nerve supplies.

How does BodyBalance Massage work?
It is a very precise deep tissue technique that breaks up scar tissue (fibrotic adhesions) in traumatized muscles. Scar tissue in a muscle causes it to shorten. When a muscle accumulates enough damage, it becomes short enough to pull the bone it is attached to out of normal alignment. After each treatment, your body absorbs and eliminates the scar tissue residue and heals the muscle closer and closer to its normal length. This allows the misaligned bone to move back to its proper position and stay there. Flexibility and normal movement are also restored.

An evaluation is performed in order to target specific muscles involved in the pathology. During each treatment, the involved bones and other structures (discs, bursae, muscles, ligaments) also receive a special treatment, which provides neuromuscular re-education. This helps your brain and muscle receptors readjust back to normal.

Its effectiveness comes from one simple fact: BodyBalance Massage eliminates the cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms. Treating symptoms is expensive and time consuming because only temporary relief is obtained; therefore, treatments are never ending. Treating the cause allows for complete healing so endless treatments are not necessary.

What are some of the other problems BodyBalance Massage may successfully treat?
The list is very extensive. Besides pain in the neck, shoulders, knees, elbows, hips, etc., here is a partial list:
1. Carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist)
3. TMJ syndrome (jaw pain)
4. Vertebral disc herniations and disc degeneration
5. Headaches (tension and migraines)
6. Sciatic nerve pain
7. Arthritis (osteo) of hips, knees, fingers, spine and other areas.
8. Tennis and golfer's elbow
9. Rotator cuff strains (tears)
10. Bunions and numerous other foot and ankle problems
A number of surgeries (especially spinal, knee and shoulder) have been prevented.
