Balancenter was the official Sports Massage partner for the 2012 HMBIM
Half Moon Bay International Marathon. If you are a a runner, call for sports
massage injury treatment and prevention.


Balancenter Offers Both
Advanced Bodywork AND Massage:
The 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:














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.


If you live in Half Moon Bay massage can become an important part of your
health care routine. If you're visiting, then come stroll the beaches, sushi
restaurants, chowder house, stay at the Ritz or a bed & breakfast and enjoy a
couple's massage to complement your Half Moon Bay golf or cycling
adventure.

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.
