Rebalance Bodywork and Massage

I didn’t want to rate poorly for the future, but Rebalance can’t be recommended at the moment due to not taking any new clients without current client referral (according to the website).

Really great experience, from start to finish.
First, you use Rebalance’s super-​intuitive online system to book your appointment. Availability is easily displayed, and it’s a fast choice picking a time that works for you.
Then you arrive and are welcomed by Amanda, friendly and compassionate, you have a discussion on what you want to work on. She goes to wash her hands, you undress and lay on the bed.
Amanda is extremely professional, and can really hear your body speaking to her. Growing up overseas, I often received massages, but never the quality of Amanda’s. The next day, I was left feeling a good sore, and soon thereafter my muscles, particularly my shoulders, felt extremely relaxed and limber.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Rebalance and referred my girlfriend the following week. I will be going back consistently.

I would highly, highly recommend this place! I got an online massage deal for this place as a gift, and was seamlessly able to book an appointment via the online system. When I arrived, I entered a nicely decorated and welcoming space, and was quickly greeted by Amanda, the owner. She was friendly, warm, professional, and easy-​to-​talk to throughout my entire time there! I also loved the rug texture garden in the waiting room — Amanda encouraged me to take off my shoes and experience the varying textures of the different rugs, and it was a lovely, grounding experience (and what a neat idea!).
The massage itself was superb – one of the best massages I’ve ever received. The massage room was serene and Amanda was very in tune to what my body needed (in my case, a lot of shoulder and neck work) and worked her hands like magic! She checked in with me to make sure the pressure was OK, which I appreciated. At the end, I left feeling on cloud 9 my body was so relaxed! To top it off, Amanda sent a follow-​up email a few days after the massage to check-​in about how I was doing and if I was sore at all (she said that this can sometimes happen after massages, like getting a good work-​out). It wasn’t applicable for me but I was floored that she took the time out to do this!
I wish I could be a regular here but I can’t afford regular massages — until I do, I’ll keep watching for another online deal so I can go back! Or maybe treat myself in another few months. Best gift I received last year :).

A lot has changed since I wrote this review — for the better. Amanda has continued to do amazing work on me, and I went from barely being able to get through one hour of slow and careful pilates per week and living from ice pack to ice pack to now doing ballet, pilates mat, pilates reformer, and gyrotonics weekly. The transformation over the last nine months has been amazing. Amanda has helped loosen up muscles that were getting in my way and given me feedback that has helped my pilates instructors pick good exercises for me. In addition, every time I had an emergency, she was responsive by phone and email, willing to be flexible about her availability. You definitely want Amanda on your side!

Everything about this experience was easy and tailor-​made for the client!
I loved that I could book it online, and I could see all availability right away.
Amanda took the time to find out about my shoulder injury, and then explained what she was doing during the massage, while keeping the atmosphere serene and quiet. Afterwards, she gave her observations so that I could stay informed and use the massage in conjunction with my physical therapy. I feel like communication is key in a good massage.
Best of all, I was running late to my appt but she called to check before giving up on me. I offered to give up some of my appt time so that she could stay on track but she declined. Instead, she worked efficiently to make sure that I got my money’s worth without ever making me feel rushed.
She really cared about me having a good and RESTORATIVE visit.
Will go again!

Great thorough knowledgeable I felt in good hands (pardon the pun) and will be back! Amanda knows her trade!

I came to Boston from Maine. I wanted a massage. I take a massage regularly. My hope was ok but instead I got terric. Amanda gets my highest recommendation, Howard

As someone who has had neck and shoulder pain most of her life, I have been worked on by a lot of massage therapists in various cities and am extremely grateful to have had Amanda as my home-​city massage therapist for several years now. I love deep tissue work and Amanda delivers that… but only when it is necessary; through seeing her, I’ve developed an appreciation for bodywork that uses the right amount of pressure for the situation to coax knots and tension away instead of consistently attacking with brute force. Like the reviewer Rosalyn P., my post-​massage pain-​free state lasts for several days after seeing Amanda, in contrast to the hours of relief I get from most massages. I recently received a massage from Amanda the day before flying coach to Australia (34 hours of travel time including one 14 hour flight) and arrived at my destination pain-​free.
As an indication of my regard for Amanda, I sent my mother to her when she visited Boston. I also referred several of my friends who appreciate Amanda’s nonjudgmental attitude towards the sports, activities, and lifestyles that have generated various bruises, knots, and patterns of tension. Her rates are reasonable for someone of her skill and experience level, and I like saving money by purchasing discounted packages for multiple sessions.
I value authenticity and genuine connection, which are present in Amanda’s friendly and bubbly personality as well as her enthusiasm for the healing benefits of massage, dedication to volunteer massage work with the elderly and hospice patients, and continued education in therapeutic massage modalities to integrate into her work. If I sound effusive about Amanda’s awesomeness, it is because I have come to regard her as a friend in my time as her client, which is, in and of itself, a strong endorsement.

I’m relatively new to professional massage but I got a lot of relief from stress I didn’t even realize I had here. The atmosphere is soothing. Her attention to checking in made it easy for me to just enjoy the process.
In addition to a great massage, I also got a lot out of her willingness to talk to me about what she was doing as well as to explore ways to improve health and well being when not on the table.
Her personality is the perfect mix of warmth and cool focus to put even the most skittish patience at their ease.

I have been to many massage therapists over the years and Amanda is the best I’ve been to by far. She manages to really heal what’s the matter with me rather than just making it feel better for a few hours or a day. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs any kind of body work.

I’ve been to a number of Massage Therapists over the years — but Amanda tops them all. I’m a big guy and require lots of pressure, and Amanda is able to deliver where appropriate.
She really stays focused and is dedicated to the health of her clients — providing the right mix of checking in, and letting you relax.
She follows up many treatments with advice on steps you can take in your home to help yourself.
