When you sign up as a massage member you receive a 15% discount on any massage you purchase.  It's as simple as that.

Your monthly charge is equal to the cost of a 60-minute massage at a 15% discount - $76.50. 

At the beginning of the month, when your card is billed, we will call you to book your member appointment so you don't even have to remind yourself.

And - unlike signing up with a gym, where you are billed whether or not you use the facilities - we ensure you get the maximum use out of your membership.  If you cannot book your monthly appointment, we will send you a gift certificate to make up for your missed massage.  You never lose your money.



With your commitment, any additional massages you purchase - whether for yourself or in the form of a gift certificate for someone else - will also be at a 15% discount.  In addition, any special offers we make to the general public are also always available, at an even better discount, to our members.

A Balance Massage Membership is the best and easiest way to make top quality massage and bodywork a regular and affordable part of your health and wellness routine.

We all know that a massage is a nice way to reduce stress and relax, but did you know that frequent and regular bodywork can effect positive changes in the body that go far beyond simple stress reduction?

Research shows that in response to massage, specific chemical changes cascade throughout the body creating enormous benefits for acute and chronic disorders:

• Asthmatics show better pulmonary function and increased airflow.
• Those with high blood pressure demonstrate lower diastolic pressure, anxiety and stress hormones.
• Premenstrual Syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
• Preterm infants have improved weight gain.

In addition, regularly scheduled therapeutic massage has been shown to be an effective treatment for reducing pain and discomfort from:

• Sports-related soreness.
• Back pain.
• Arthritis.
• Osteoarthritis.
• Fibromyalgia.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
• Post-surgical pain and tension.
• Migraines
  

But perhaps you don't suffer from any of the above conditions and you enjoy a warm bath and a glass of wine as relaxing way to reduce your stress.  Does that mean there are no benefits from massage for you?  Of course it doesn't.

Frequent massage therapy and bodywork has also been proven to:

• Boost the immune system.
• Release endorphins.
• Reduce headache frequency.
• Increase circulation.
• Improve concentration.
• Reduce fatigue.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Improve range of motion,
  
• Ease medication dependence
  
• Exercise weak and/or atrophied muscles.
• Promote tissue regeneration (reducing scar tissue)
• Reduce spasms and cramping
• Assist labor for expectant mothers (and reduce maternity hospital stays)
  
• Help athletes prepare for and recover from strenuous work-outs

These incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful when taken in regular "doses."

As the researchers of the Touch Institute from the University of Miami say, "The more massage you get, the more benefits you reap."  And we hope to see you reaping these benefits soon.  Give us call or visit our website for more information.
