Balanced Body Therapy Fascia & Head/Brain Injury Therapist
Manual Osteopath, RMT
https://balancedbodytherapy.janeapp.com/ From head to toe, there's something for you!

Balanced Body Therapy incorporates several modalities to identify & resolve the root cause of what is holding your body back from being pain free & fully mobile. Vertigo & head injuries, carpel tunnel, range of motion, digestive or sleep issues, alignment of the spine and hips, etc. Some of the basics of each modality provided at Balanced Body Therapy are:

Manual Osteopathy: a gentle, non-invas

ive, holistic approach to restoring balance and mobility to all aspects of the body. Includes structural alignment of the hips, spine and other joints gently and painlessly, mobilization of the organs, Cranial Osteopathy (corrective craniosacral work) and fascial manipulation. Massage Therapy (Osteopathic Massage): helps improve circulation and reduce overall tension, wonderful for general aches and pains, relaxation. Typically includes aspects of osteopathic work relevant to your specific needs. Movement Therapy/Hanna Somatics: muscles do not hold tension without signals being sent from the brain. Hanna Somatic Movements allow you to sense the tension your muscles are holding onto and teaches you how to release this tension. The movements are painless and often the hidden element that's been missing from your treatments. Equine and Canine Hanna Somatics: mobile work is provided for working with horses and dogs! Lameness, general health, lead issues, and more are addressed with these treatments

✨Happy National Senior Health & Fitness Day! ✨

Strength, mobility, and nervous system health matter MORE as we age.
They actually determine HOW you age.
Muscle mass starts declining as early as your 30s.

National Senior Health & Fitness Day is a reminder that longevity isn’t built later in life,
it’s built in the here and now.

The ability to move well, stay strong, prevent injury, and remain independent doesn’t happen by accident.

It comes from:
• consistent movement
• maintaining muscle mass
• supporting your nervous system
• taking care of your body before it forces you to

Use it or lose it isn’t just a saying. It’s physiology.

Your future self is being built by what you do today. 💪

At Balanced Body Therapy, I'm always looking at how your body functions as a WHOLE. Not just where it hurts. And connective tissue health plays a massive role in that.

Whole Body Collagen (from Designs for Health) is something I often recommend because it supports:
• joint health and integrity
• tendon and ligament strength
• bone health
• skin elasticity
• overall connective tissue resilience

Collagen makes up roughly 30% of your body’s total protein, and the amino acids in these peptides are incredibly similar to what your body already uses, which makes them easy to absorb and actually utilize.

If you’re:
• training hard
• riding regularly
• dealing with aches, stiffness, or recovery issues
• or simply wanting to support longevity

This is one of those foundational pieces that makes a difference over time.

It's SO easy to add into your routine, too: throw it in your coffee, smoothie, or post-workout shake.🥤

We throw that phrase around a lot… but what does it actually mean?

Your nervous system is responsible for how your body responds to stress, movement, pain, recovery, and even how safe you feel in your own body.

When it’s overwhelmed, it doesn’t shut down…
it adapts.

And those adaptations often look like:

• constant muscle tension that won’t release
• feeling tired but wired at the same time
• shallow breathing or holding your breath without realizing it
• pain that moves around or keeps coming back
• difficulty relaxing, even when you finally slow down

Your body is trying to protect you.
The problem is, when that protective state stays “on” for too long, it becomes your new normal.

That’s where things like:
chronic pain
burnout
tightness
poor recovery
start to show up.

The solution isn’t more force.
It’s better communication with your nervous system.

This is where Manual Osteopathy and Hanna Somatics come in.
We’re helping your system relearn how to:
✔️ release tension
✔️ move efficiently
✔️ regulate stress
✔️ come out of that constant “on edge” state

If this sounds like you, it might be time to stop pushing and start working with your body instead.

You’re not “just tight.” Your nervous system has learned to hold tension… and forgot how to let it go.

That’s why:
• stretching doesn’t last
• massage helps temporarily
• pain keeps coming back

This is what Hanna Somatics retrains. Not the muscles. Your brain.
