How Balanced Bodyworks Started

Balanced Bodyworks came to life in the fall of 2003 after Amanda graduated from Massage Therapy school in Spokane, WA where she practiced for 4years in a variety of clinics and spas until she found her niche in private practice as a Medical Massage Therapist.

In the fall of 2007 after several visits to Alaska Amanda finally made the leap to become a full time Alaskan. She found work at a chiropractic clinic and stayed there for 10 years where she also pursued her certificate as a Rolfer. Disappointed that she was unable to bill insurance like she had in WA as a private practitioner she set out to establish licensing of Massage Therapy in the State of Alaska. After a 6yr process of drafting legislation and lobbying the bill passed and licensing was established in 2015. Shortly after Amanda made the leap back into private practice. With an overwhelm of patients it was time to start hiring other like minded and talented therapists who specialize in restorative and preventative Manual Therapy.

Our clinic has an amazingly talented staff of 8. We are not just another run of the mill massage spot. Our therapist have a combined experience of over 100 years in practice. We work together to treat patients, specializing in medical manual therapy and can treat a variety of conditions ranging from tendonitis, sprains and strains to postural distortions and prevention or recovery from surgical procedures. We treat the whole person recognizing that there’s a human element to the healing process that goes beyond just the physical aspect. Our goal is to help you function more efficiently with greater ease. When you’re a patient here you matter.
