Got my back done from Greg Downes. Highly recommended, great guy to talk to and really helped me with my back and neck pain. Happily gained another customer. Thank you Greg!
I highly recommend Katie at Body Balance. Katie has a wonderful touch when massaging and the environment was warm and inviting. Katie takes the time to listen to what was needed. and her experience and care for clients is outstanding. The professional approach taken by all the practitioners at this practice is fantastic. Thank you Katie.
Massage with Lincoln was excellent. Found all the tight and sore spots. Great pressure during the massage and huge relaxation after.
I'm a new regular here! Sorts out the aches and pains. Very glad to find Lincoln! Recommend to anyone needing a good massage! 👍
Mikael is a natural, I’ve had 100’s of massages from dozens of therapists over the years, especially after multiple spine surgeries. I can’t recommend highly enough for thoughtful, intelligent massage therapy. I’m gonna go top 5 - maybe top 3….. it’s early days: GO CHECK MIKAEL OUT!
Mikael was brilliant - I can absolutely recommend a treatment. Mikael managed to work all the knots out of my upper back. I also get plantar fasciitis and he worked on my feet - they feel great, with more mobility and I didn't get any PF pain on my recent run. I will definitely be going back.
Massage by Mariana was divine. Mariana massaged out the sore spots and eased my aches and pains. Would highly recommend.
I had a remedial massage with Katie yesterday and it was outstanding. Katie communicates really well, and is very experienced and talented at massage and giving health advice. Looking forward to the next one!
Body Balance is such a gem—every therapist I’ve seen there has been fantastic! You can really tell they know what they’re doing. I especially love Kate’s massages—her rhythmic flow is incredible. It’s proper remedial without the torture—just professional, relaxing, and so effective.
Marianna was amazing!!! She was super knowledgeable in her approach and was really specific in her treatment technique regarding stiffness and pain through my shoulders. I walked out of my treatment feeling relief and less restriction in movement. Thanx again.
Katie is the best! I've had many, many massages, and Katie is at the top of my list when it comes to excellent remedial therapists. She really takes care to make sure you're getting a tailored session. The best thing is she's available on a Sunday, when it's very hard to find a good remedial massage in Hobart. Defintely try Body Balance in Sandy Bay.
Best massage I’ve had for many years
lower back pain caused by over exercising
Katie masseur tailored it perfectly to my needs
Absolutely wonderful Katie 🙏🏼
Katie was amazing, back up and moving freely , thank you
Lincoln did a great job of getting my 55yo body running 2 marathons on back to back weekends.
Katie was absolutely amazing. I’ve had all sorts of treatment done and I’ve never actually experienced as much relief as I did after Katie’s remedial massage therapy. She uses the perfect pressure and knows exactly what she’s doing. I’m so grateful!
Travelling for work, I made a last-minute session with Katie after a couple of nights on a hotel mattress left me worse for wear. She is amazing. I only wish I was local so I could take advantage of her fantastic services more often
Katie gave me a great massage, I felt great afterwards.
I have just had my first massage at Body Balance with the lovely Katie. I felt at ease from the moment she welcomed me. I was pleased that she sat and reviewed my client/ medical history with me and sought further clarification around my medical conditions and what might potentially impact my massage. Katie really listened to what I had to say, took a lot of care to ensure my needs were met and that the treatment was conducted focussing on the areas we had discussed. The flow and pressure were great and I feel soooooo relaxed now. Thank you.
For anyone looking for a way to de- stress or to have your muscle soreness eased, contact Body Balance. 😊

Paula
Greg is excellent !
Expert set of hands. Fantastic sports massage
I love getting a massage with Katie. She is really great at listening and responding to what I ask for, but also using her own knowledge, experience and intuition to get stuck in where I really need it. I came in with some pretty significant tightness and pain in my upper body and left feeling 100x better with massively improved range of motion. Highly recommend.
Best massage by far. I would say the best massage I’ve had in Hobart. Katie really listened to the areas I needed work on and did an amazing job! Would highly recommend!
I've visited here a few times now and have seen Katie. She is excellent!! She really listens to what you ask for, with great results.
Came away feeling much looser and relaxed
Can’t recommend Lincoln highly enough. He came out on New Years Eve to provide some massage relief to my very sore and tired body. He was able to find the exact knots and sources of pain extremely quickly and expertly ease the muscle pressure. It was honestly amazing. Thank you and will definitely be back. Lincoln was also super friendly and respectful.
Have seen Katie a couple of times now and she is a real professional of her work, always leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
I have had massages from Katie, Lincoln and Greg who all gave me a terrific massage. It was firm and relaxing at the same time. They are the best massages in Hobart. You won't be disappointed! Thanks
Big shout out to Katie for a blissful massage today. Just the thing in the lead up to this busy season. Highly recommend!
Katie is an exceptional therapist! I saw her with a hurt low back and felt good as new walking out. Highly recommend!
Katie is an absolute magician, you cannot miss out on her help

Spent ages, jumping through all sort of therapists in town, looking for help for a stiffness I had in my neck

Katie helped me feel 10 times better after only one session with her

Can’t wait for the next appointment!
Katie is the best massage therapist I have visited! She is so welcoming and friendly and fixed the tightness/pain I was experiencing. A lovely little massage studio.
After initially thinking of having a one of massage I have seen Katie multiple times now. She is very professional, friendly and mostly importantly gives a great massage. Highly recommend.
Best massage in town. Professional, quiet and the perfect reset for when you need one. Can not recommend more.
The full body massage by Katie was incredibly helpful and targeted all of the areas that were causing me pain due to tightness. I felt refreshed and relaxed afterward, with noticeable relief that lasted for days. Highly recommend 👌
Fantastic sports massage from Greg!

Easy making an appointment, super convenient parking, great private massage studio, and an amazing massage from highly qualified Greg!
Katie was very professional and addressed the issues I had from running and cycling
Have had amazing experiences with deep tissue work and a sports massage.
All the guys there are very professional and friendly. Studio is very clean and parking is not an issue. Highly recommended!!
I had the most amazing experience with Katy! She took the time to listen to my issues and then came up with a plan that I was comfortable with. The service was perfect and I left feeling completely relaxed and looked after. The space was beautiful and calming, and Katy went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience. I couldn’t recommend the body balance team more!
Great massage with Greg, would highly recommend.
Booked a one off massage with Greg. Easy booking. The massage was perfectly tailored to my needs and I walked away feeling great. Highly recommend this service
Been twice now for a relaxation massage and both times walked out feeling rejuvenated. Thanks again guys.
Went in due to a sport injury. Walked out an hour later, in instant relief of my calf strain. Would definitely be going back and super happy to recommend Greg.
An amazing massage, hit all the right spots and left me so relaxed.
Greg is fantastic. Very knowledgeable.
Andrea provided a wonderful Swedish massage with lymphatic drainage. Highly recommended thank you 💕
