How Can
Balance Membership
Benefit You? 

We all know that a massage is a nice way to reduce stress and relax, and that acupuncture has a proven track record for resolving pain.  But did you know that frequent and regular bodywork can effect positive changes in the body that go far beyond simple pain and stress reduction?

 

Research shows that in response to massage and acupuncture, specific chemical changes cascade throughout the body creating enormous benefits for acute and chronic disorders including sciatica, asthma, high blood pressure, TMJ Disorder and more.  In addition, regularly scheduled treatments have been shown to be effective for reducing pain and discomfort from sports-related soreness, back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines and a host of other issues too numerous to list here.

 

A Balance membership guarantees you a minimum of one massage or acupuncture treatment per month at a 15% discount off our regular price.

 

How does this work?
You commit to paying for a 60-minute or 90-minute massage or acupuncture treatment once every month for at least 6 months.  We'll charge your card at the beginning of each month - $76.50 for 60-minutes, $106.25 for 90-minutes - and contact you to schedule your appointment.  Don't worry, if you don't call back, we will ask again-up to 3 times.  If you can't make it that particular month, you won't lose your money.   We'll either schedule you twice in the following month or we'll mail you a gift certificate.  You can reschedule just as always until 24 hours before your appointment.

 

In addition to your monthly appointment, any and all additional massage and acupuncture appointments for yourself or any friends or family members you approve in advance are also 15% off when charged to your account.  And it doesn't matter whether it's a 30, 60, 90 or even 120-minute treatment, the discount still applies.  Any massage or acupuncture treatments purchased on your account, even gift certificates, receive the member discount.

 

Balance Members can also get free mini-treatments from our Certified Rolfer, Lu Müller-Kaul. Her soft-tissue manipulations can often free up blockages quickly.

 

With these kinds of benefits, why haven't you signed up for a Balance Membership yet?

FREE Services ALL MONTH in honor of Rolfing Awareness

 

2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the Rolf Institute for Structural Integration. In honor of this milestone, and to pay tribute to Dr. Ida Rolf's vision, the institute has asked Rolfers worldwide to offer some kind of free service to their community.

In the spirit of Dr. Ida Rolf's Children's clinics, Balance owner and certified Rolfer Lu Müller-Kaul is offering one FREE Rolfing session for anyone under the age of 18 during the entire month of May. Often children can already be greatly helped in just one session and there is no commitment required for futher work.

Because of her own interest in how Rolfing might help in resolving common foot complaints such as flat-feet, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and hammer toe, Lu is also offering a free comsultation and "try-out" treatment for anyone suffering from these issues. The consultation will include before and after pictures and exercises the client can take home to further improve their condition.
