I had made a post about needing a massage and got many responses of which many looked more…read moreappealing than this company. The owner proceeded to pester me outside of my post and then slander me on my post saying I must not really want a massage, that I was faking needing one. I got set up with a much more professional and respectable company and will never hire Be Balanced. Hopefully if this person is a good massage therapist they practice better interpersonal skills with future potential clients. Edit 1: The owner has responded to my review here with more evidence of his unprofessionalism. I have screenshots of everything to prove everything I've said here. Starting from the top of his response, I will take a humble masseuse over a man with a fragile ego any day. The boasting is unprofessional and is insulting to all those in his profession. You do not need a bunch of gold stars to be a good massage therapist. You do need them if you have a fragile ego and want validation for your accomplishments. Moving on, his response lies about me reaching out to women and wanting to work with them. I was looking for level-headed and competent therapists and I only reached out to a single person to see if they were available. That person is a man. There was no slander allegation, it's a slander acknowledgement. It happened. I think the proper legal term is libel but this isn't a courtroom. He lied about me on my post and continued to lie about me here. No offense was taken by any part of this. I just don't think this person should be getting business when this is how he conducts himself. And his closing advice is that if I need a therapeutic massage I should try not getting one? Man needs to get a grip. Last note is that he didn't even spell the association that he's on the board of properly, leading him to claim to be on the board of an association that doesn't exist. Never have I met someone in this profession so unhinged and fragile. Edit 2: The owner has since edited his response to be much more professional but it's still passive aggressive. There was no apology for his behavior, but I guess that's smart on his end as it'd be an admission of misbehaving. Taking responsibility for his actions appears to be outside his wheelhouse. Anyways, I've attached some screenshots to show what I'm talking about. If you don't want to call it slander, call it lying. Same difference.

I had intense post op Lymphatic swelling, and within the first couple massages, I started shedding pounds. My body hit a major turn around once I started using him.

Between the two of them you get the best experience and highly trained updated approaches that really work. I finally began to make progress on a difficult whiplash injury that affected my whole body. Not only are their skills and experience second to none they treat you like family and they really care. As a patient who was there for two hours, three times a week for the past three months, I NEVER saw Jeff conducting himself in an intimidating, aggressive or disrespectful fashion. He is very confident because he is the most experienced in town and he jokes around to create a fun loving atmosphere. This may come across as intimidating to some but I was comforted with his experience and confidence and the environment he fosters there is very caring and fun loving. I always felt safe, respected and cared for. I have only seen him treat his employees and patients with the utmost care and respect and I never saw him mistreat anyone.

I was scheduled with a chiropractor/acupuncturist without an official diagnosis only because I expressed my interest in whether or not that would help (what I assumed) was my problem. The staff and Dr were pleasant, the Dr explained what he was doing,but I had to ask a lot of basic questions that I feel should have been part of an introduction to a new practice and treatment and care of a "common problem" but one I myself have never experienced.

I did a treatment plan of Physical therapy which helped some, but still did not resolve all of my symptoms. I was at my wits end when I called and scheduled with McAlpine chiro. For the first time since my accident, I finally felt heard and could sense his genuine compassion and eagerness to want to help me. After the first two adjustments I already had relief from the pain that I had for 8 months. Soon my mood improved, my extreme fatigue started to go away, and the pain was minimal. For 8 months my whole life was on pause. I was a completely different person. Once I went to McAlpine Chiro, I started making plans for activities with my family again! Going on bike rides, and making plans to participate in all the things I used to enjoy. Dr. De Young saved my summer. I had an awful 8 months missing out on downhill skiing and ice hockey on the pond with my family, and now feel renewed and refreshed and back to my active fun loving self again. Thank you Dr. DeYoung for all of your compassion and for your excellent skill of cracking backs and taking names... or making claims (insurance claims) .. See he even has me telling my bad jokes again. Thanks again! You're the BEST!

They took me in as quickly as they could, and were comforting and pleasant seeing I was in lower back pain. Dr. Ben DeYoung is wonderful. After x-rays, an assessment of my pain areas, he completely explained what he needed to do to help me. He is a good listener and takes his time with patients, giving them individual care with no rushed feeling. After a few treatments, I'm happy to report, I'm in good shape. I also do yoga and continued with some appropriate stretches that Dr. Ben approved of and felt they would help my home care. I would highly recommend the McAlpine Chiropractic Group. You will go in with pain, and come out feeling the ease of pain and wonderful care.
