I had a fabulous experience. Mikael’s remedial massage was epic! blissfully painful and therapeutic in all the right places. He intuitively knew what my poor body desperately needed. From the moment I walked in until I left, the treatment was spot-on, highly professional, and thoughtfully delivered. I will be back for sure.

I recently experienced a Remedial Massage from Mikael. A professional approach, well explained and excellent massage technique was given, tending to areas of concern.
Response from the owner:Hi Elise thank you so much for the five star review. Mikael is a wonderful therapist and we are so happy that you think so too.🙌
Katie had thoroughly read my notes that I had submitted prior to my appointment because this was my first visit to this Massage Practice.
I was very impressed with the massage I was given because it really matched my needs. My sore arms and shoulders were improved after my massage.
I do not live locally but if I did I would confidently have Katie give me another massage.
Thank you to Katie for a very professional appointment and excellent service.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this wonderful review Lois! We are delighted to hear that you received a high quality remedial massage from Katie and, most importantly, that it helped you to feel better in your body. We hope to see you again next time you visit Hobart!
Great attention to detail and takes the time to listen. Very friendly also 🙂
Response from the owner:Hi Caleb, thank you for this kind review! Lincoln is a great remedial therapist and we agree, he's a lovely guy too 🙂
The amazing Katie worked her magic again today. Seriously the best masseuse going around. Katie knows the right balance of remedial and relaxation massage that ticked every box today. I haven’t felt so good in years
Katie will get to know your needs and exceed expectations every visit. I’m already looking forward to when I can get back for another “me day”
Response from the owner:Thank you Camille for this glowing review! We agree, Katie is one of a kind and an incredibly talented remedial massage therapist. We are very lucky to have her here at Body Balance and hope you get another self-care day very soon!
Body Balance has great therapists. Katie is incredible! She is my go-to therapist when I’m feeling stiff, sore, or in need of some wholesomeness and is always cheerful and kind. She is a treasure. Lincoln is fantastic, I went in with a very sore neck, shoulder and back and he was able to gently ease out the knots so I left feeling good and painfree. Mikael, in his gentle, encouraging and thorough manner, helped me understand where I was holding tension while he carefully released the knots until I was relaxed and wound down.
Response from the owner:Thank you Saum for a shining review! We are very lucky to have a variety of excellent therapists at the studio and I am so glad that they have helped you to feel better in your body!
I saw Katie for the first time and she did an amazing job to listen to my needs and deliver a quality massage to cater for them. Highly recommend. Sad that I moved out of the area just as I found her.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind review Lyndon! We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent remedial massage treatment with Katie. Good luck with your move and we hope to see you at the studio again if you find yourself back in Hobart!
Katie is FANTASTIC!
I’ve had lower back pain for years. The last remedial masseur I went to see had made no difference to my back pain. Recently the pain was getting worse, making getting out of bed painful and not being able to bend down properly. After my appointment with Katie I had no more back pain . It’s been 4 days and my back feels fine, I get out of bed and bend down with ease. Katie is highly professional and very knowledgeable in her field of work. She’s also very personable, fun and friendly. I’m definitely booking more appointments in the future!
Response from the owner:Hi Elise, thank you for is glowing review! Katie is a star and we are very glad to hear that she has managed to effectively ease your back pain. We look forward to seeing you again in the future 🙂
At my recent massage with Mikael, I found him to be thorough, professional and efficient. He was careful in checking for the appropriate level of pressure to use, which is not something that all massage therapists do. I would be happy to recommend him, and look forward to my next opportunity for treatment with him.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pauline for this kind review! We are very happy to hear that you had a great experience with Mikael and we look forward to seeing you at the studio again very soon 🙂
Mikael is very knowledgeable und professional. I only can recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi Gul'naz, thank you so much for your 5 star review. Mikael is a very talented therapist and we are delighted to hear that you would recommend him. We do too!
Thoroughly enjoyed my massage with Katie. My body definitely needed some work and Katie found all the places I knew would need attention and the places that also needed work. Great therapist, highly
recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review Letisha. We agree, Katie is a great remedial therapist and definitely has a knack of finding those tight spots! We hope to see you at the studio again soon 🙂
Katie is very professional and knows her anatomy and functional anatomy, which I consider essential to give a good therapeutic massage.
Response from the owner:Hi Richard, thank you for this great review! We couldn't agree more and we are very blessed to have a knowledgable and experienced remedial therapist like Katie at the studio.
Would have to be the most relaxing and aiding massage I have ever experienced. Thank you so much Mariana, I am so happy to have tried the lymphatic massage - will book again soon 🙂
Response from the owner:Hi Alana, thank you so much for this wonderful review. Mariana certainly is a very talented therapist and we are delighted to hear that you will be coming back for another treatment soon!
This week I received a wonderful remedial massage with Katie. She is a very dignified & caring operator who addressed my needs in a calming atmosphere which contributed to a luxurious therapeutic session.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this fantastic review Rosemary! Katie is a gem and we are so glad to hear you had a wonderful remedial massage with her. We look forward to seeing you at the studio again very soon!
It was a really good massage. I feel much more relaxed, and you were able to focus on the specific spots that needed attention. This was actually my first time having a massage here with Katie. Normally, I only have Thai massages, so this was a wonderful new experience. Thank you so much!
Response from the owner:Hi Thanaruck, thank you for this great review! We are so glad to hear that your remedial massage treatment was a worthwhile experience and that Katie was able to support your needs effectively. We hope to see you again soon 🙂
I have seen Katie several times for back pain, headaches, and plantar fasciitis, and she has been fantastic every single time. I have been to many therapists in the past and had come to associate remedial massage with discomfort, often putting it off until the last possible moment. Katie completely changed that for me, she has a rare ability to ease pain effectively while still making the massage comfortable and enjoyable. She is incredibly skilled and caring, and always adapts to your needs. I feel so very grateful to have found her and honestly think she is absolutely awesome!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this glowing review Gabriela! We think Katie is awesome too and we are delighted to hear that you have had many positive experiences during your remedial massage treatments with her too. We look forward to seeing you at the studio again very soon 🙂
Greg is amazing!! Have been a couple of times now and have left feeling fantastic! Knows exactly where to put extra pressure and work out the kinks that a stressful job gives me. Nice, clean, hygenic rooms, and a good atmosphere. Will 100% continue to see him! 11/10 😊
Response from the owner:Hi Erica, thank you for this wonderful review! Greg is a superstar and we are so glad to hear that his remedial massage skills help you to feel better in your body.
Katie is amazing! Very warm and welcoming and great at what she does. I saw Katie for a remedial massage and I would highly recommend! 🙌🏼
Response from the owner:Hi Melanie, thanks for this fab review! We are very happy to hear you had a great experience with Katie, we are very lucky to have her at the studio.

Katie was my amazing, highly recommend, knowledge of injuries and how to help was fantastic.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this great review! Katie is indeed excellent at understanding different conditions and injuries, especially when it comes to feet. We are glad to hear she was able to support you to feel better in your body and we look forward to seeing you again at your next treatment!
For remedial massage to be effective requires that the massage therapist is able to tune their work finely to suit the client's individual needs and circumstances. I am pleased to say that over several weeks now Mikael has been able to do this to perfection.

I suffer from severe sciatica and remedial massage is the only way I have found of snatching a few days relief from the intense and often crippling pain. Thank you so much for what is an experience that makes so much difference to my quality of life.
Response from the owner:Hi Geoffrey, thank you so much for this outstanding review! We agree, Mikael is a real expert at his craft and we are delighted to hear that he has been able to support you profoundly to feel better in your body. We look forward to seeing you again at the studio very soon.
Felt very comfortable with Mikael, and the pinch I was experiencing between my shoulders is feeling completely relieved. The space is quiet and private, and nicely heated. Will definitely be visiting again!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great feedback Evan! Mikael is a brilliant therapist and we are glad to hear you had comfortable and peaceful experience at the studio. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Greg is very knowledgeable, welcoming and professional. He's always happy to answer my questions about anatomy or needling and provides an excellent service - I've always left feeling better than when I'd arrived and have been coming back for years.
Response from the owner:Hi Mark. Thanks for your thoughts on our star Greg. We think he’s pretty Special too. Super happy to hear that you are seeking relief from Greg’s treatments most importantly too.
