If you are looking for a massage in Greenville, SC, you have come to the right place!
The Balanced Body Shoppe has been serving Greenville and surrounding areas since 1995.
Our four (4) therapy rooms enable us to work with both individuals and small groups.
All of the therapists at the Shoppe are nationally certified and are experienced in various modalities. Some of our therapists work part time while others are full time. This allows us to offer appointments early (before you go to work perhaps), during the day and in the evenings. Please see our profile book in the lobby for details of each therapist's training.
Our therapists enjoy working with all groups of clients, including those mothers and housewives whose praises are, in our opinion, way under sung. Many of our clients come for preventive / wellness therapy or for relaxation massage. We work with geriatric clients and with those who have had hip and/or knee replacement surgery (young and old) . We also work with athletes (pre and post event) and "arm-chair" athletes. We work with those who are facing illness or life challenges and need a gentle touch of healing. Many of our new clients are referrals from those who have been with us for years. Some are referred by their doctors or chiropractors for massage therapy.
Our youngest client to date has been 5 years old; our most senior client is 99. So, no matter what your needs are for massage, it is likely that we will be able to work with you. If not, we will gladly refer you to the appropriate venue.
Sandi Russ, NCTMB
Owner and Massage Therapist
SC License # 1304
Sandi began her training in Massage Therapy at the Atlanta School of Massage in 1994 after learning first hand about the benefits of massage. At the time of her graduation there was no licensing in South Carolina. Nonetheless, Sandi chose to study and test for her National Certification, a voluntary certification; currently the most advanced certification available for massage therapists. She requires all therapists working from The Balanced Body Shoppe to become Nationally Certified and to keep that certification current.
Sandi has served on the South Carolina Governor's Advisory Panel and the Greenville Technical College Massage Therapy Advisory Board. Her volunteer work at both the state and national levels of the American Massage Therapy Association have spanned more than twelve (12) years. She also has volunteered over the years with many local Greenville charitable organizations, including the Greenville Free Clinic. Inspired by her niece's experiences with a life-threatening illness, she worked with the Greenville Hospital's Pediatric Hematology / Oncology (PHOC) to organize massage therapy for the children's retreats and involved other local massage therapists to donate their time to this new program.
Her fifteen years experience in massage therapy is preceded by an 18 year career in the Corporate world. Getting massage was what helped her deal with the stresses of being a full time employee and a full time wife and mother of two. It became a "calling" when she injured herself and found that massage helped the recovery process more than any other modality she had tried.
This led to a new career and eventually to building a business with multiple therapists to handle the massage therapy needs of The Balanced Body Shoppe clients.
Having multiple qualified therapists, who concentrated only on the practice of massage therapy, in one location has been her desire since she became a licensed therapist. She was able to expand her practice after a few years of working alone and loves it when clients choose to see all of the therapists at the Shoppe.
Sandi enjoys the variety of clients who come to the shoppe for therapy. She is further certified in Pre / Post Natal (Pregnancy) massage. See the Profile Book in the lobby for a full description of her continuing education.
Sandi is available Monday through Friday, including both early morning hours before you go to work and some evening hours as well as some Saturdays.
