"I regularly receive dry needling at Balance and have had really good results from the process. As a runner, I often experience tight muscles or tendons in a particularly (weak) area, and have chronically tight calves. While I get regular massage and see an osteopath to help loosen off the fibres around the tight tendon/ligament and keep me aligned, that treatment is not intensive enough to get into the area that needs it most. The dry needling gets right into the affected area and I see results after a couple of sessions. For anyone who experiences chronic tightness in an area, or has a particular muscle that is tight after healing from a strain and/or tear, I recommend giving it a go."
"I have had a couple of appointments with Danielle (previous team member) recently as I am 35weeks pregnant and been having pelvic girdle pain – it’s been amazing, I really noticed a huge difference, I’ve been recommending you guys to all my pregnant friends too!"
"Thank you so much for yesterday's massage. Not only was it lovely to see you, but also a much needed reconnect with my body and great for my mental health. You truly have a gift."
"I found Balance Massage fantastic in the treatment of my shoulder - Jane (previous team member) has the most amazing hands! Thanks, you're a life saver!"
"I've been a client at Balance for several years now - it's made a huge difference to my recovery from neck and back injuries. I've recommended them to friends, family and clients (I'm a physio) and always had great feedback."
"I have visited Lisa Buchan for a few years now. It's hard to find a good massage person that is firm and holistic. Lisa seems to always iron out the lumps and bumps leaving my body rejuvenated. Balance is always professional and friendly. I have recommended many of my friends to Lisa and everyone that has been has always re booked and been very happy with the results."
"I first began seeing Jane (previous team member) for massages about 6 years ago. I have continued on a relatively regular basis as she is awesome! Whether I go in for general stress relief or with a specific issue (not unusual with my job) she always finds the problematic muscles and is able to relax them. She is really specific with her massage and has great technique. I'm a Chiropractor, and I have referred many clients to Jane over the years as I'm really confident they'll get great results."
'Massage greatly assists our patients in their rehabilitation and we highly recommend the team at Balance Massage'.
"Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended for anyone who is a dedicated gym bunny to someone who needs a good massage once in a while. I get Therapeutic Massages with Lisa Buchan fortnightly since 2001. She is absolutely fantastic with finding the “knots” and how to release the tightness and soreness. Her advice on stretch exercises are always spot on! Balance Massage really care about our well-being!"
"I was referred to Balance Massage in early 2007. I have used massage as a means of pro-actively managing migraines for about 10 or 15 years, and have also benefited immensely from a faster recovery from sporting injuries (generally back), by receiving monthly massages. My experience of therapists covers South Africa, England and New Zealand, and I was with another therapist prior to Balance. I have also been really impressed with the level of customer service, whereby appointments have been made for after work hours or even on bank holidays to accommodate my schedule. I have referred a number of friends and colleagues to Balance, as well as given gift vouchers for treatments to people as gifts, and I am more than happy for this testimony to be used as a reference as the service provided by staff at Balance, is of an exceptional standard, and worthy of commendation."
Thank you so much for your support and dedication to Run Auckland series. I am sure you got complements from Dion the organiser but I personally would like to say thank you over the series. I believe that was not easy setting up early in the morning before runners coming and providing free services nonstop until completely finish the event for the series.
"Just a quick email to thank you for the wonderful massage sessions I received in the many months leading up to the birth of our second baby. As you know I visited you much more regularly this pregnancy than I did last, and was amazed at what a difference it made.
I had increased mobility and flexibility after having the massages. The tension in my lower back and hips was becoming very painful, especially in the third trimester, but the massages helped and were also wonderfully relaxing for me. Also a lovely way to have ‘time out’.
Last pregnancy I experienced achy joints, puffy hands and feet, but with your help, the massage sessions reduced the swelling in my joints/limbs as well as leg cramps, pelvis pains and general lower back stiffness.
I am now utterly convinced of the benefits of regular massage and look forward to continuing to see you after the birth!
Thank so much your for your attentive and personalized approach – I will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family."
"I stopped by Balance Massage after a long trip over from the States.
I had all sorts of neck and muscle pain from the long hours of travel.
I can't recommend Lisa enough, she got straight to the points that needed it. I felt incredibly better afterwards.
and Lisa is one of the best people that I have ever been to."
