Deep Tissue Massage
Services
Overview
Deep tissue massage has been steadily gaining in popularity over the last several years. It involves using carefully placed deep pressure and slow, steady movements to release tension and tightness deep within the muscles and connective tissue.
You can use deep tissue massage to address generalised aches in the body or narrow in on a problem area for expedited relief and recovery.
It is important to drink plenty of fluids after a deep tissue massage to assist in the flushing of toxins from the body.

Swedish Massage
Widely considered the most common and pleasant massage, Swedish massage combines needing, tapping, and rubbing the soft tissue to induce restoration and relaxation.
Because light to firm pressure is applied, it is considered a less intense alternative to deep tissue massage.

Based on 118 reviewsEXCELLENT Based on 131 reviews Pete Thank you Life Balance. I have been seeing Harrison and Kayla on a regular basis now. Compared to my starting point of not being able to work, drive or even sit comfortably, with the combination of adjustments and sports massage, I am now back to work. I appreciate all your support and I am really grateful to be able to carry on working within a short period of time. When attending an appointment there is always a warm welcome from everyone at reception and the rest of the Life Balance team. Joanne Jenkinson After experiencing chronic headaches/migraines I took advantage of the introductory offer in June. The team are fabulous and really care about their clients. They are really thorough and each plan is tailored to your needs. The headaches are gone, I can’t explain how incredible that is. My posture is improving, I am less hunched and my breathing at night has improved so I don’t snore. Overall mood has improved too which has a positive effect on the whole family. I’m still receiving treatment and I can’t wait to see my progress at my next review. ANNA WAN I initially came across the world of chiropractic care after seeing some videos online and reading about the benefits people were experiencing, so I decided to find a practice close to me in Poole and after a quick google search I found Life Balance Chiropractic. I initially went to Life Balance to see a chiropractor for sciatica which was affecting my driving and for pain in my hips after glandular fever. However, I had been reading about the benefits having adjustments could have on a person's mental health and coincidentally, I was also signed off work with exhaustion and as a result my mental health had taken a knock. I explained all of this to Harrison the chiropractor and he felt that positive change was possible both physically and mentally for me. To say I was nervous would be an understatement, I grew up with a mother who told me chiropractors were dangerous and to be avoided, but Harrison was very patient and explained things before doing them. The first adjustment appointment went well and at the second, I was asked if I had experienced any changes positive or negative. Well, my menstrual cycle had been kick started for the first time in about 7 years which was quite a shock initially, but after speaking with another chiropractor, Olivia, who explained that this was a good thing and that my body was responding well, I felt more positive. During the second session, Harrison said he was going to do an adjustment on my neck that would "wake me up". In the days that followed, I began reading for leisure for the first time in over a decade. It had always been an activity I enjoyed, but as my mental health had became more medication dependent, I found that when I read a novel, my eyes couldn't focus on the page and the words danced around and I certainly couldn't take the words in so I moved over to audio books. The last time I had tried was just a couple of months ago and still couldn't read the way I wanted to. This has been an unexpected and joyous improvement to my life that's come from the adjustments and I can't thank Harrison enough. Physically, I have minimal pain in both my hips now and the sciatica isn't occurring as often. I'm only 5 sessions into 24, so with so much improvement in a short space of time, I'm excited to see what will happen at the end of the 24. Mary South Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Friendly relaxing environment. Recommended Aileen Elder Both the Chiropractor, Harrison, and Kayla, doing the massage treatments have helped me greatly with my lower back pain and I wish I had come earlier. I would recommend them to everyone. Marguerite Veale I have been come since 2020 for chronic back pain, also neck and plus very bad debilitating migraines, my medication wasn’t helping and neither was seeing a physio. I could only walk very short distance. Initially I was seen weekly. But within a short period my migraines had gone I was able to stop taking the medication for that. My back neck and shoulder pain has taken longer because of arthritis , and a few set backs with falls and illnesses. I am now on a maintenance plan although I have to walk using a rollator I can walk much further. I have to stop and start, but I am able to enjoy life again. Also with aid of the pain management I am reducing my pain relief. I also very much recommend the massage the combination is so beneficial. All the staff are so helpful and friendly. My problems will never be cured but this what keeps me moving and enjoying life again. Thank you so much especially Josh for all your help and future help. Lisa Shakespeare I contacted Life Balance with back pain I'd never had before. I knew it wouldn't be a "quick fix" due to an old back injury, but I am already seeing results and moving more easily. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Dr Jack has been great, explaining every stage of my treatment and answering questions have. Belinda Stuebinger I came in with bad and constant face pain as no one else seemed to be able to help. Within only 3 weeks of getting adjustments, I have seen significant improvements to my pain and my quality of life in general. The receptionist team is easily the loveliest I have ever met and I'm always greeted with a smile when I come in. Harrison has been fantastic explaining what exactly isn't right with my spine and how we can fix it. It's been only 3 weeks and he's done an amazing job! If you're looking for a competent and friendly chiropractor with a comfortable environment, look no further! Jamie Drennan I have had a great experience with Life Balance , starting with my daughter who was seen from age of 5 weeks old , listened and treated with care and changed her within the first visit. I have had back problems for years which have been managed but never resolved . I had a full assessment with xray. Full explanation with results and the best treatment to get me on my journey for pain free and more movement. Having a 4 month old baby and other children being in constant pain was exhausting . I am half way through treatment and feeling more positive and more comfortable. I never have any problem moving my appointments to fit in and around my busy life. Which Is so helpful . Thank you so far to everyone who is treating me . Lou x Mason Bonner Life Balance Chiropractic have a great, super friendly front of house team. Harrison was super knowledgeable, very professional and most of all, very very good at what he does. Would definitely recommend!
