Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

Born on May 24, 1951, my Papa was a man who belonged to the outdoors and the open road. He didn’t just live life; he built it with his own two hands.
To many, he was the face of Beaver Lodge or the heart of The Inn at Soap Lake. He was the ultimate host, a man whose work ethic was unmatched, and who never knew the meaning of the word "quit." But to me, he was the man who made the world feel like a better place, a place I could master.
He taught me the things that matter. Because of him, I know how to handle a chainsaw, how to wait patiently for a fish to bite, and how to feel the gears catch in a manual transmission. He gave me the gift of the wild—countless miles on cross country trails, nights under the stars while camping, and those long truck rides on winding dirt roads where the best conversations happened without many words being said at all.
Watching him face pancreatic cancer was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but even in that, his strength was evident. He left us on March 2nd, but every time I'll look up at the stars, or find myself on a quiet dirt road, I’ll know he’s right there in the passenger seat.
Rest easy, Papa. The chores are done. I’ll take it from here.

To my wonderful clients, family, and friends;
I’ve always believed that the work I do at Balanced Body Massage is built on a foundation of trust. Because I value that connection, I want to be open with you about a shift in my life.
Currently, a family health matter is requiring a significant amount of my focus and presence. While my passion for helping you find relief and balance remains as strong as ever, I am in a season where I must prioritize these personal responsibilities.
Because of this, my schedule may be more unpredictable than usual. There might be moments when I have to adjust or cancel an appointment on much shorter notice than I would ever like. Please know that I never make these decisions lightly—I truly value your time and the loyalty you’ve shown my practice.
I am doing my absolute best to navigate these challenges while still providing the high-quality care you expect and deserve. Your patience, flexibility, and kindness during this time mean more to me than I could ever put into words.
Thank you for being such an incredible part of my life and for standing by me during this extremely tough chapter.
With deep gratitude;

Laura Savage, LMT, MMP

⚕️Decompression Massage (cupping)

Cupping uses suction to create space between your skin, fascia, and muscle. It provides relief that manual pressure alone often can't reach.

Why It Works

💥Unstick Your Muscles: It pulls stagnant tissue apart, instantly improving your range of motion.
💥Rapid Recovery: It acts like a vacuum for your blood flow, pulling fresh oxygen to "stuck" spots to accelerate healing.
💥Deep Relaxation: It flips the switch on your nervous system, moving you from "fight or flight" to total Zen.

✅️ Quick Questions (FAQ)

Does it hurt?

Not at all. Most describe it as a "vacuum hug." We can always adjust the suction to your comfort level.

How long do the marks last?

Usually 3 to 7 days. They are just evidence of stagnant blood being drawn to the surface for your body to flush out.

Can I work out afterward?

It’s best to take it easy for 12 hours. Stay hydrated, keep the area warm, and let your body process. A work out before is just fine though!

Massage is Mandatory

Think of your body like a high-performance vehicle. You wouldn't drive 50,000 miles without an oil change, right? Here is why regular bodywork is essential "hardware" maintenance:

Circulation & Recovery: Massage isn't just relaxing the body; it’s moving blood. Better circulation means your muscles get the oxygen they need to repair themselves from daily stress.

The "Desk/Tech Neck" Antidote: Hours spent hunched over a laptop or phone physically shortens your chest muscles and overstretchs your back. I reset that alignment before it becomes a permanent postural habit.

Cortisol Management: High stress isn't just a feeling; it’s a chemical state. Regular sessions lower cortisol levels, which boosts your immune system and improves sleep quality.

Injury Prevention: I find the "knots" (trigger points) before they turn into pulled muscles or chronic nerve pain.

You can buy a new car. You can upgrade your phone. You only get one musculoskeletal system. Treating it well isn't "indulgent"—it’s the smartest investment you’ll make this year.

Ready to feel the difference?

Stop ignoring that nagging tightness in your shoulders. Let’s get you back to moving fluidly and living without that constant "dull ache."

Do you feel sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest? You could have Plantar Fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is caused by irritation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, often due to overuse, tight calves, or poor foot mechanics.

Finding relief from the sharp, stabbing pain of Plantar Fasciitis can feel like an uphill battle. While many people reach for ice packs or orthotics, manual therapy is one of the most effective ways to address the root cause of the tension.
Here is a guide on how massage therapy helps get you back on your feet.

How I Target the Pain

Plantar fasciitis isn't just about the foot; it’s often about the entire "posterior chain" (the muscles running down the back of your leg).

Here is how a session typically breaks down:
Myofascial Release: We work directly on the plantar fascia—the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot—to break up adhesions and improve elasticity.
Calf Decompression: Tight gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (your calves) pull on the Achilles tendon, which in turn pulls on the heel. Relaxing the calves is often the "secret sauce" to foot relief.
Trigger Point Therapy: We locate "knots" in the small muscles of the foot and lower leg that may be referring pain to your heel.
Cross-Fiber Friction: This specific technique helps stimulate blood flow to the ligament, promoting faster healing of the micro-tears causing your inflammation.

Pro Tip: While professional massage is key, you can maintain the progress at home by gently rolling your foot over a tennis ball or a frozen water bottle for 5 minutes every evening.

As 2025 comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to look back and say thank you.
Being a massage therapist is about so much more than just muscle and fascia. It’s about trust. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, for letting me help you through your injuries, and for choosing my room as your place to breathe and find a little peace.
I am so grateful for the community we’ve built together. You are the reason I love what I do. I can't wait to see you all in the New Year!
