Two years ago, I was having a lot of pain in a specific area of my lower back that nothing I did (stretching, Advil, posture awareness, etc.) seemed to help one bit. After months and months of realizing it wasn't getting any better, I decided to seek out the massage therapist that my wife used recently when I gave her a gift certificate for a general massage.
I went to see Mary Ellen Derwis Balaz. To describe Mary Ellen as simply a licensed massage therapist is a gross simplification of this amazing woman's professional talents. She knows numerous types of massage therapies as well as a host of other related capabilities that I can't begin to fathom.
Mary Ellen pinpointed my problem with the muscle and nerves affected, described how they are suppose to work, what was happening now, what she needed to do to correct the imbalance, and how long it would take to get me back to a normal state and also be pain free. In short, she was right on the mark 100%.
After each session, it literally was like I was on another planet in a different dimension -- to say that just doesn't do it justice. For anyone who has been in the hands of a truly gifted and skilled licensed massage therapist knows exactly what I mean. For those of you who have never experienced this, I highly encourage you to do so, it will do wonders for your health and state of mind. It is truly mind blowing and body altering how one's body can respond to and change for the better with a skilled professional. The hot rocks were out of this world -- and at the end of each session, I think I only half knew where I was.
My wife also echos the same sentiments.
I can't begin to describe how intelligent, professional and with such exceptional communication skills Mary Ellen possesses.
Please Note: I do NOT receive any financial or otherwise benefit from this simple recommendation from one professional to another. Moreover, I take recommendations very seriously and only recommend professionals whom I absolutely trust and Mary Ellen is one of these rare finds.
