Sarah Johansen
Professional Massage Therapy

Welcome

Welcome to Balance Bodywork & Massage, I'm so excited to help you!  Thank you for choosing me on your wellness journey.  

I am a Level 3 Neurokinetic Therapy© practitioner and a certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist.  I use Neurokinetic Therapy© manual muscle testing and Deep Tissue, Myofascial and Trigger Point Release to ease your muscle aches and chronic pain. 

Neurokinetic Therapy© is a form of manual muscle testing which was co-founded by David Weinstock in 1985.  The brain sets new neural pathways with injury or surgery,  bypassing the essential muscle for movement, and creating painful movement patterns.  NKT© uses manual muscle testing to determine overactive or underactive muscles.  Using NKT© and massage, practitioners are able to reset these movement patterns, aiding in the elimination of pain.  

Chronic pain can come in forms such as physical pain and emotional distress.  The effects of chronic pain and stress can touch us all differently, but stress causes a build up of toxin in all of us.   Massage aids in lymphatic drainage releasing built up toxins by interrupting stress inducing patterns within the body.  This increases blood flow, ranges of motion and decreases overall pain, breaking the chronic pain cycle over time.
