Balance Integrated Healthcare

The first time I visited this clinic (when it was located in the heart of Liberty Village), everything was great — friendly customer service, a bright clean atmosphere and calming space. Since they’ve moved to their new location (located on the outskirts of LV), I feel like the service/​establishment has been subpar.
The new location has a dingy basement feel to it (it is located on the lower level of a multipurpose building) and the unit itself isn’t easy to locate inside the building. The service is still friendly enough but I can’t comment on the quality of the massage since my RMT didn’t show up.
If you’re looking for a similar experience to the old location in this part of town, in a similar price range, might I suggest Octopus Yoga and Health Centre, my new go-​to place for all things RMT/​Naturopathic/​Osteopathic.

I have been trying other places but here it was a unique experience. The RMT was very helpful and she made me pain free after a 45 minutes massage
The customer service was above and beyond as I was having difficulty locating the place and Jana came out all the way to get me from where I was.
I must say that they care about their customers. Great place

This is amazing place is one of a kind. Kam did an awesome cupping, massage, and accupuncture session. I felt the difference afterwards.

Ryan Burnham is by far the best massage therapist here.
The others are OK, I have had 2 other therapists as well, but I will continue to go to Ryan.
Highly recommend this place!

Without the intention of becoming overly hyperbolic, going to Balance Integrated Healthcare changed my life.
I started seeing their in-​house naturopathic doctor, Dr. Shannon Munkley, back in 2012. I was sick all the time. I had heart palpitations, no energy, and even drinking water made me want to vomit. I was in hell. My own family doctor did the family doctor thing and told me that I «may have IBS» and I should maybe consider «not drinking milk.» Ok…
Dr. Munkley had me keep a food log. From there, she narrowed down the foods that may have been making me sick and had me start an elimination diet. Meanwhile, she recommended different supplements that my body was likely lacking in (never pressuring me to buy from her, but she always had them available for purchase), and she pointed out stores in my area where I could find specialty foods for my new diet and recommended brands that she swears by personally.
Within a couple weeks, I was a new person. Without any intrusive tests she was able to determine what was wrong with me, and put me on the path to fixing myself. And once she felt I was in a good place, she sent me off into the world armed with knowledge and a better understanding of what was wrong with me. She didn’t force me to stay on, or schedule expensive weekly visits once I was better. That being said, she made me feel like her door was always open should I continue to experience problems. I haven’t had to go back.
Since those visits, I have lost almost 50 pounds. My energy levels have soared, and I feel like a better version of me. I would heartily recommend her as a naturopathic doctor if you are sick and feel like you are getting nowhere with your family doctor. Naturopathic visits are often partially covered by your insurance benefits, and in Ontario you can claim them on your taxes. The initial consult costs $ 180, and it’s $ 75 for every 30 minute session after that. I found I rarely went over 30 minutes. And honestly, it was worth every penny to feel comfortable in my own body.

I have nothing but praise for their staff! Amazing massages, acupuncture and chiropractor services.
Great friendly & professional staff who do magic with their hands.

I go to balance for both massage therapy and acupuncture. I went to balance throughout my pregnancy. In a nutshell, here is why I’m a fan:
Location and Facility:
*It’s located downstairs from my Mount Sinai OB office.
*It’s next to a food court– (Pregnancy made me hungry all the time)
*Their office is nice and they have tea by the door waiting for you
Balance Team
* Doula services were provided by Kam who also does my Acupuncture. I can’t thank her enough for the amazing job she did. This was my first baby and having her prep me before, during and after the delivery was the best investment I could have ever made! I delivered within 6 hours with no EPI!
*Kyla did all my prenatal massage therapy and the sciatica pain I had would go away after the massages. I didn’t really suffer from leg cramps and I think it was because of the massages. She is great!
*Front desk staff is always kind and accommodating.
* and lastly, I CAN TAKE MY BABY WITH ME whenever I need massage therapy!

I love this place. I found it looking for a good massage — something more physical therapy and less spa relaxation and am I ever glad I did! If I could go here every week — heck every day, I would.
It balances — get it, balances… the spa and therapy beautifully. It has all the elements of a high end spa — soft wooden, good smelling, relaxing atmosphere with lovely tea and water available while you wait and soft spoken, friendly staff. It has a yoga studio that looks nice although I haven’t tried it. But their focus is definitely health and wellness.
A variety of therapies are available as are different types of therapists. I have a sports related shoulder injury and I see a sports trained therapist who is very knowledgeable and a wonderful massage therapist. I just got lucky in seeing him the first time I went and I’m a regular customer now.
My mother and sister-​in-​law also raved about the therapists they had for a one hour massage — we go once a year together and rarely all come out raving.
But that’s just massage therapy — in addition they do so much more — check out their website, it’s got all the information you could need. And don’t take my word for it — try it yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been going to Balance off and on for the past 4 years while I was living in liberty village. If you want a great, straight forward massage in liberty this is the place to go to. They have masseurs that have years of experience and know the body’s muscles inside and out. They also offer acupuncture, Reiki, chiropractor services, prenatal massage (and they don’t take it easy on you just cause you have a belly) and more. Ask for Linda, or if you feel like taking a beating ask for Judith — who does probably the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had in my life.

So I received a gift card for a massage at this place. I had never been before and had a seriously hard time finding the place. It is located at the back of a strip mall in Liberty village. A variety of services are offered including massage, chinese medicine and accupunture, naturopathic medicine, psychotherapy, osteopathic treatment, craniosacral therapy, chiropractic medicine, dietitian, reiki, reflexology, life coaching, spiritual life coaching, shamanic healing and an infrared sauna. Basically, this is a well rounded holistic centre. It is quiet and serene and very clean. I had the 60 minute massage and it was a little painful (but good massages always are). A heat pad was used and when I left had red welts up my back… by the next morning they were gone though and my chronically sore back felt great. The masseuse didn’t try to sell extra services and even said that regular massages probably wouldn’t help my problem. He provided some exercise suggestions/​positions instead. No tipping is allowed, which felt a little weird, but I guess is good overall. I would go back but would like it better if it was closer to my house.
