Very professional. Very respectful. When you have a problem with a specific area and want to know what the problem is, he doesnt guess. He shows you exactly where the problem is and what it is. Very knowledgable. Overall, so far, I havent had any issues yet. He opens himself to verbal feedback at the end of the session which is nice in case something wasnt what you wanted.

Always a fantastic experience. Ken is able to adjust his technique from powerfully technical to smooth and relaxing based upon the client’s need at any given time. Over the years I’ve been the beneficiary of both treatment types from Ken, and always walk away feeling a million times better...only to realize the benefits of treatment continue to unfold in the following days.

I’ve been working with Ken for about a year now for both deep tissue message therapy and physical training. He’s extremely knowledgeable about what he does and shares his knowledge during the sessions. I’ve learned a lot from him. He has a great personal style and is easy to work with. He takes a personal interest in helping me improve and I’ve seen some good results since we started. I especially like the fact that he can work with me on both deep tissue message therapy and physical training together to drive long-term sustainable improvement. Working with Ken over the past year has been the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time.

He copiously explains the muscle groups that are involved in the issue that you are experiencing, and lets you know exactly how he plans to begin your journey to recovery. It is so evident that he embraces his profession by following best practice research in his field. The ambiance, skill level, and professionalism were exemplary - overall rating 5 stars!

It was my very first massage and I was very happy. obviously I have nothing else to compare it too but everything was really good. if he was using too much pressure, id tell him and he'd change it to what I was comfortable with. He knew a lot about what he was doing. He could explain why he was doing what he was doing if you asked him so I loved that he was super knowledgable.

I have been seeing Ken for about 4 years now and I do not see myself going to anyone else anytime soon! He's been one of the only massage therapists that has helped me with my back problems that come from working in the pharmacy and dental hygiene. He always takes the time in asking me where my problem areas are and gives me tips (posture and stretching techniques) in preventing back pain in-between massage therapy sessions. Thank you so much Ken for always having my back!

Absolutely fabulous massage! If you are looking for more than just someone rubbing your back, this is the place to go! He knows the body well. We actually had a 15 minute conversation before the massage about my background and what I needed out of this massage. I just had two knee replacements and he knew exactly what my body was going through because of his training. Make sure to try Balance in a Motion, you won't be disappointed.
