I receive massages from BIBTM on a regular basis. I have had several different therapists and although they all give a different massage they were all excellent.

A few years ago I fell and broke my ankle. It turned out to be an evulsion fracture. I went to PT and ortho and found my ankle was never quite right despite efforts to regain strength. I was in constant pain and the fear of falling again was real. I knew I need to take a different approach, so I decided to try therapeutic massage. Jen Hathaway (also the owner) treated me with care and compassion and assured me she could help.
Her "magic hands" are filled with skill and strength. She knew just what to do. As a result, my pain is lessened and my strength is returning. I'm back to working out again and feel more confident in my strength and walking. This therapy has been life changing for me and I'm grateful for Jen and her talents. An added bonus to this establishment is the "greeter", a golden retriever named Murphy!

I can't say enough good things about Back in Balance. I first went to them a few months ago for help after I threw my back out and even just one massage brought back a lot of my lost range of motion. I was back to normal after a follow up appointment and have been going back every couple of weeks since for preventative maintenance. I've seen three different massage therapists and they are all extremely talented and professional. They're all great about making sure to target the right areas at the right pressure. So glad I found this place!

Went here for a gift certificate. Waited patiently in the parking lot while I called on the phone. The owner pulled in and was beeping at me. She got out and started yelling at me saying I needed to pull forward that technically you are suppose to back in to the parking lot. Meanwhile two other cars are there and not backed in. She continued to spew off at me while I'm sitting there in shock of how rude she is treating someone who is there to purchase a gift card. Anyways I left and will not ever purchase a gift certificate or ever recommend this place to anyone.
What a way to start a nice day off. The door has a big sign that says respect and this woman had none. I didn't get her name but she has very short blonde hair and said she was the owner.

As a massage therapist with a chronic condition that is past being surgical I can't say enough good things about Jen's work on my shoulder. My shoulder could be a career altering condition. Today was my first session with Jen and I actually feel like I can live with it and continue my path. I left feeling like a million bucks and had so much more range of motion. Thank You Jen Hathaway. Your releases are amazing!

Went for my first visit here today and was treated by Sherri. She was fantastic! Appointment was on time, communication and correspondence was easy. I had strained my back and was anxious to get in for an appointment. She asked questions before she started and was so kind. Her work felt so therapeutic and she was so knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

So impressed with Back in Balance. The team is going above and beyond to make clients feel comfortable during the pandemic. Communication was clear, sanitizer everywhere, massage rooms and bathrooms are cleaned after every client. I highly recommend this local business. Book your massage today! You won't regret it.

Jen Hathoway and her team at BiB is amazing! I am a fitness instructor and let me tell you that because of the expertise of Jen and her team my body can handle what challenges I give to it! Massage Therapy is a habit of health. It’s not a luxury to enjoy once in a while. It will literally make you better! And not just in body but in mind, too!! Visit that purple sign on Route 9 and I promise you will be healthier because of it!

Jen is amazing! She is very thorough and knowledgeable! The office is clean, inviting and comfortable! This is an awesome place for massage and was excited to know that they offer Normatec which makes my tired nurse legs feel great! I always recommend Jen and her office to my friends, coworkers and family!

This is the place I have gone since living in this area. 14 years. Great for triathletes, runners, cyclists for sure. Last few years just been great for me with migraines and shoulder pain. Sheri is exceptional and will likely always go to her. Jen is a wonderful owner ... she has always matched me up with right therapist, and when needed help with migraines she fit me into her client schedule and was amazing too. I love deep tissue and stretching. Great place

I was referred to Back in Balance by a physical therapist. I have invested in Back in Balance massage for over a year and a half. It was one of the best investments I could make. As an avid cyclist and xc skier I often experienced
extreme tightness in my legs as well as discomfort in my neck from a bike crash. After several treatments the kinks were worked out.
I continue to
receive massage as a wellness treatment for a lifestyle choice. I have worked w both Jen Hathaway and Jen Cahill who are both outstanding in their attention to detail. As a cyclist, I am excited to use their new Normatec equipment to supplement my massages! Back in Balance has my highest recommendation.

I was referred to BIB by Dr. Das following a severe car incident, and Bethany's knowledge, care and experience these past 4 years have literally put me back on my feet. Her patience and professionalism have seen me thru 4 surgeries and recoveries. Being able to trust someone who listens, I mean really listens, to not overdo and to be careful has made therapeutic massages with Bethany a permanent part of my life long recovery. While out of town occasionally I have tried other masseuses but there is simply no comparison!

After having a very sore, strained lower back/ lumbar area for almost 10 days my wife insisted I try a therapeutic massage. I have never had one before. My wife had been to a different therapist at back in balance. I finally relented & she booked me with Jen Cahill.I arrived early as they request. I was fairly nervous but she was very nice. She asked why I was there & I explained the issue.
Well she was great. It was very relaxing. Within 24 hours of the massage I felt improvement. Now, a week later I would say my back feels 75-80% better. I have another appointment with Jen in a week. I sure I'll have others down the line. I very much recommend Jen Cahill & back in balance.
