Testimonials
"Shelley and Tim are truly gifted.  Their skill in massage is akin to that of great ballet dancers: no wasted motion; every stroke seems to come from an inspired, caring source.  And the result is more than relaxation...it's meditative, even transformational.  Worth a trip to Lake Placid just to receive their gift of superb massage." 
Susan B., NY, NY
 
"As a full-time endurance athlete, scheduling my recovery time is just as important as scheduling my training schedule. In order to make progress and absorb new training I need to pay extra attention to my recovery, and regular massage, hands down remains the most effective and highest quality recovery I can commit to.   I have been working with Tim as an athlete for almost six years now. I have had few other experiences that compare to Tim's dedication, knowledge, ability and approach to his client. Balanced Bodywork is a great local resource! "
