Have You Heard What They're Saying About Event Sports Massage And Back in Balance?

"I've been a runner for years and in the recent past have had problems with tight hamstrings and other nagging muscle injuries. These problems usually led to a long, slow recovery process or reduced training effort. When I started receiving sports massage, Jen Hathaway was able to massage out the tightness in areas of my legs that I never actually considered problem areas. The Active Isolated Stretching techniques she taught me, I now do before and after exercise, and they have helped increase my stride length during my run. The stretching also helps relieve tightness and muscle soreness. Regular sports massage has kept me flexible and limber, allowing me to run with reduced injury incidence and to recover more quickly when an injury does occur. I highly recommend that athletes at any level incorporate sports massage into their training programs."

"As a running coach for the Leukemia & Lymphoma's Team in Training program, I often have runners come to me with pain issues that we can't quite pinpoint. Back in Balance has proven time and again that they can help the athletes get to the root of the problem and once again run pain free. Often times when you go to the doctor with a running issue, the recommended solution is to stop running. Most runners don't want to hear that, especially if they are training for an event. The therapists at Back in Balance are athletes, too. They work with you while you are training to keep your body loose and limber so that you feel your best when you get to that starting line. Scheduling massage with Back in Balance is the first thing I recommend to my runners."

"Back in Balance was a client of mine when I was president of the Capital District Triathlon Club (CDTC) and race director for the Crystal Lake Triathlon in Averill Park. Jen Hathaway was a sponsor of the club for all five years I was president and also provided massage services to many of our club members. In addition, Jen provided massage services at the Crystal Lake Triathlon for three years, traveling to the event and setting up for post-race massage. She employees top quality massage therapists that are very professional and well informed on the latest in massage therapy."

"The Can Am Rugby tournament is hosted annually in Saranac Lake, NY. This is the largest and most prized North American rugby tournament, and we are proud of this distinction, dating back to the 1970s. For eight years, Jen Hathaway and her associates have been providing excellent sports massage services for our tournament. This is a much-needed service for our athletes, and they truly appreciate Back in Balance's presence throughout the tournament. We will definitely continue our relationship with Jen and her massage team. I strongly recommend their services for any sporting event."
