I do not believe the therapist with long reddish hair is formally trained. I am a retired esthetician of 18 years, who's had massage all over the world, from beach stalls to five star hotels and this experience was shockingly poor. First, I started face down but my headrest was too high so the therapist kept banging into the bottom of my head to access my neck. She seemed oblivious to this and unaware that an adjustment was needed. I scheduled a 60 minute classic massage because I just wanted to relax. I did not request stones but suddenly the massage stopped. Without saying anything she left the room to retrieve stones that were much too hot for my skin and that I did not want. Then to top it all off, she stuck her hands in my hair and started rubbing my scalp. I was actually shocked because everyone in hospitality knows that you NEVER touch a client's head, stomach or breast without verbal permission. These are highly personal potential trigger areas. When she asked me to turn over she never moved from the top of the table. A privacy towel was not held up. (What school did she graduate from??) I thought she would begin working my neck and shoulders which is why I came, but she stuck her hands back in my hair. At that point I asked her to stop. If she has a legitimate license she needs to practice on co-workers to improve her performance. But I'm assuming the other therapists are better. Hopefully they are.

Felt nothing and a waste of time. Shame on this place. She later on focused more on my back than anything else. I didn't get the arms, the legs, or the feet. This place is a joke. I appreciate the dollar a minute but let me tell you she had no experience. Very disappointed. Save your money. Will never return, this is a one and done place. Again, never again, it sucks balls.

From her nurturing demeanor and professionalism I felt at ease... even from the first few moments i knew this was going to be a cathartic session because of how safe i felt. She works with beautiful music, and crystals and sage and big metal singing bowls and her hands. Its a wild paradox that someone can hold you lightly and also with strength and certainty and you feel comfortable to let go. Yes i cried. I hate crying and it was amazing. My whole body was lighter and i was having visual experiences that made sense- its a beautiful and rare thing to feel that your cells got nourishment. Truly cathartic and bonus was the enchanting lightness i carried with me from her session. This is part of my wellness routine

It's difficult to quantify what Emily brings to the literal and figurative table. I have been…read moreworking with her for several years and her work is constantly evolving and blooming. She begins each session with a conversation so that she can truly meet you where you are and provide a wholistic approach to what you need to heal. Whether that is an emotional or physical release, a deepened connection with source, an energetic balancing or cleansing, or so on. Every session is unique to where I am at in my physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual bodies. She always seems to know what is wrong before I open my mouth, but she always holds space for me within her loving glow. Emily has an incredible way of making you feel instantly comfortable, even the most advanced of wall builders, like myself. I have broken down into tears before getting on the table, had massive physical releases, and healed in ways I thought weren't possible. She has guided me through deep emotional trauma as well as physical trauma (I had abdominal surgery to remove 15 tumors in 2016). I will say it's not all glitter and romance, there are often hard lessons to be learned and dealt with, and they can be difficult (but always necessary) and she guides you through it with light and love. I could go on and on, but really my words will mean nothing. What Emily offers is intuitive and experiential. Everyone's session is powerful, uniquely their own, and always far beyond what they expected. She is a true facilitator for your healing journey and I am blessed to have her in my life. My advice: go in to your session with an open mind and ready to receive her gifts.

This month was pretty run of the mill for my experience here, absolutely wonderful. I typically arrive 5-10 minutes early, and the person working the front desk greets me by name. They show me to their comfortable waiting nook with nice plush chairs. The bathroom is right down the hall if needed. Right on time, my massage therapist comes out, and walks me back to the treatment rooms, which have always been comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. After a quick chat, I'm left to undress and then I get an hour of pure relaxation. I've seen a handful of therapists at this location, and while they each have different skills, I've never been disappointed. When it's time to go, the therapists always offer a glass of water to stay hydrated, and walk me to the front of the building to see me off.

I would recommend Thai Yoga massage to anyone who wants to feel what its like to have your body properly stretched out by a professional. I asked Jen if she could give me a sample of all of her different massages that she performs. She was very accommodating to my request. Jen used a combination of Swedish, Deep Tissue and Therapeutic massage techniques during our session together. I really enjoyed the long gliding strokes along my back of the Swedish massage. The Deep Tissue massage also felt great on my upper back and shoulders. I can't say enough good things about Jen. She is a very calming, compassionate person to talk to as well as an excellent massage therapist.

I was able to buy a Groupon for this session and so the price was very reasonable. I know nothing about these kinds of procedures so did some research on the Lapex 2000 LipoLaser. In Lipo Laser the machine uses light wavelengths to target fat cells; the paddles are placed on the skin for 10 minutes or so and the procedure is totally non-invasive. I met with Dr. Grim who was friendly, knowledgeably answered all of my questions and gave me some additional tidbits to think about. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about whether I would see any results. Like many women near 50 I have a few pounds that just refuse to go away. Dr. Grim has administered thousands of sessions with over 2,000 customers, so he has been around the block and has some great lessons learned to share with his patients. Measuring my abdomen before and after proved that I actually lost 2 full inches just from this one session. I am more motivated to continue my more healthy eating habits and regular exercise along with these Lipo Laser appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Grim and the PA Center for Wellness...you should give it a try, what do you have to lose but maybe a few fatty inches!!

I have never written a review before but this experience was so terrible that I needed to let…read moreeveryone know how that how bad it was. I made a consultation appointment which they only take on two days of the week after the doctor was away for two weeks on vacation. After driving an hour and a half which they knew about I called 15 minutes prior to let them know I would be literally four minutes late. I was put on hold and then told it was ok. I have a picture of my gps because I could not believe when they called me when I was five minutes away to say they had to reschedule me. I had missed the call because I was in the middle of nowhere and Reading PA so when I tried to call back they had shut off all of the lines and when I showed up three minutes later the doors were locked. It was so unprofessional I will never go back there.

Part of the fun of a whole body massage is the ambiance and this place is pretty Spartan. Also (and…read morethis was an issue for me), I could not understand the masseuse, nor she, me, apparently. It took me awhile to understand what garments to remove and keep on, and how I should lie on the massage bed. It's been awhile since I had my last massage, and each place is different, so basic instructions I could understand would have improved the experience. Still, the masseuse was very good. After the initial kerfluffle, I didn't think I'd enjoy the massage but I was, happily, incorrect. She hit all the major muscle groups with verve and kindness and I relaxed and, several times, almost went to sleep. At the end, the language barrier raised its ugly face, since I couldn't seem to make the masseuse understand my question whether the place took credit cards. I still don't know the answer but I'm glad I had enough cash with me to pay the fee and add a tip. This place offers good, reasonably priced massages. I just can't give it a 5 star review.

Ok, let's take this way back. Seven years ago I had never been to a chiropractor and was actually…read morescared to see one. For some reason I didn't like the "cracking" sound. However, I was experiencing immense neck pain at the time and was at my limit--I would've done anything to make the pain go away and go away for good. My cousin suggested Dr. Chris to me and after that very first visit, I had fallen in love with chiropractic care and continue to go to Balance for both my injuries and preventative care. Dr. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable. He'll answer every question I have and never makes me feel rushed. Some visits, I don't even mention what areas are bothering me, but it always seems like as soon as I get on the table he finds the exact spot that's causing the trouble. The location has also been very convenient no matter where I lived. It's right near Rittenhouse Sq and there's tons of public transportation options. I work near by and so quick lunch appointments are a plus. Several occasions I've stopped by without an appointment, and they always squeeze me in. Sometimes I'll have to wait a few minutes to be seen, but it's worth it--plus who doesn't expect some kind of wait for a doctor's appointment? I'd much rather wait 10 mins for an adjustment and feel instant relief than wait 45 mins at my primary for them to tell me there's nothing they can do about my neck pain. Over the years, I've also taken advantage of the monthly sales they've had to offer. I've had massages with Kathy, Steven, and Jeannille. These three therapists all have different styles, but every massage I've had has been fantastic. I wouldn't consider Balance to have a "spa-like" atmosphere, but I would much rather get a massage here than anywhere else as they are focused not only on relaxation, but also and more importantly, on healing. Ok so maybe I've raving about this place because I've been coming here for seven years, but then again I wouldn't have been coming here for seven years if there was nothing to rave about.
