Ben is beyond great! I suffered a spinal cord injury and am confined to a wheelchair, but Ben set me at ease and listened as I told him about my muscular imbalances and the wear and tear my shoulders, back, and hips have experienced. Then he set to work and relieved my (extensive) muscle tension through gradual deep pressure, including on muscle groups no other massage therapist has addressed. After my massage today, my shoulders and arms are relaxed, my spine is elongated, and my hip flexors have loosened up. I have worked with many massage therapists, and Ben relieved tension while helping my muscles relax more than any of them. I highly recommend any other people with mobility limitations frequent him, as well as anyone else seeking a deep tissue massage that’s responsive to your muscle tensions and pain!

I finally went to see Ben a few weeks ago after several coworkers recommended him and am so glad I did! His massage was thorough and personalized, and he really paid attention to my problem areas. I felt very safe with his Covid safety precautions and left feeling incredibly relaxed. Highly recommend!

I am so thankful I’ve found Ben. He is a gifted masseuse, who uses care and compassion in his practice. He has the uncanny ability to find those knots and sticky spots quickly, and once he does he works gently, with focus and intention to get my body back to balance. I float out of his office every time. I highly recommend him.

Benjamin is amazing. In addition to being an LMT he also has experience from the spa industry which he uses to help make the experience extra relaxing and special. He truly cares about his craft. Also if you are looking for a legit therapeutic massage, meaning one that actually works the muscles and heals up pain, then definitely come here. Up until I worked with Ben I feel like I was getting joke massages. They felt nice, but they didnt heal my body. TLDR: If you have a legit neck ache, Bens your guy

My wife and I have been going to Balance Bodyworks monthly for years. We both feel we receive the best massages we have ever experienced with Ben. Some might think quality would wane over time, but quite the contrary, Ben learns the quirks of your body and hones in on them with surgical precision. I can not recommend Balance Bodyworks any more highly.

So glad that I found Balance Bodyworks. I had a persistent pain in my neck for a month that was not getting any better. After one session with Ben, there is significant improvement. I should have visited sooner! I appreciated that Ben really zeroed in on the areas of concern with the level of requested pressure. Despite working on a troubled spot, I still managed to catch a quick nap during the session, as well. Great balance (ha!) of bodywork and relaxation. Highly recommend.

Bens technique is blissfully effective, and different from what you will find other places. Rather than having you lay completely stationary on the table, he moves your arms and legs while he massages- similar to a Thai massage- so he can get deeper into knots, or get a satisfying stretch in addition to a facial release. He was able to relax knots in my back like no other massage therapist has been able to do.

I have never written a review before now but Bens massage was too good not to spread the word. Hands down best massage Ive ever had. He made me feel super comfortable, starting the session with a discussion about my needs before diving in. He CLEARLY knows what hes doing and employs a variety of effective techniques, from myofascial release to deep hurts-so-good knot killers. The entire experience is bliss and I walked out feeling so much looser and more open. Cannot recommend enough.

Wow, Ben’s massage was amazing! I had been sick from bronchitis and it was hard for me to take a deep breath. He really helped loosen my chest and ribs so I could breath better. I am beyond grateful!Ben has a warm welcoming presence and his office is beautiful. I highly recommend the 90min session.Mahalo! Deja

Ben thought of everything from the environment, lighting, music to great sheets. I had an amazing massage clearly his experience and his expertise shined. He has a great approach to get the tight deep muscles without digging in. I loved that he recommends on his website that I could use my HSA & i could schedule online.

Ben is hands down the best LMP youll ever find. Super responsive via email, genuinely cares about your health and well being, and is very good at reading customers and what they want out of a session. We have talked music and hes even allowed me to play my own during sessions, and seeing his little doodle of a dog every month certainly cant hurt!

Ben does terrific work! I experienced the Pure Bliss 90 min massage and felt the effects radiating through my body for a long time afterwards. If you’re looking for an indulgent, luscious, and custom-tailored experience, Balance Bodyworks is the place to go!

I have been getting massage with Ben for nearly 15 years. He is very professional, my massages are always amazing, and I leave his studio feeling relaxed and rejuvenated! Queen Anne is very convenient and I always find parking right out front, which is a total plus!

One of the best massages I have had. Ben is a compassionate therapist, and very skillful. I came in with pretty severe back pain, and left with significantly less pain.

While visiting Seattle this week I was doing a lot of walking, and oh my does Seattle have a lot of hills! So I looked for a massage in the Queen Anne area and found Balance Bodyworks. I saw all the 5 star reviews on Yelp and decided to book a 90 minute massage, the house specialty.I get pretty regular massage at home but Im telling you, Ive never had a massage like this before.First of all, the environment at Balance Bodyworks its beautiful. Great ambience. The music was different, better than most places Ive been and the receptionist, Maddie (a small Labradoodle) is the sweetest! Wanna steal her!I informed Ben and I was having some low back tension and could use some relief in my neck and shoulders. He asked me a few questions to make sure he knew exactly which approach to take and we were off. He had me begin to face up, which I had never had before. I got on the wonderfully heated massage table and was instantly de-stressed.He began by reaching under my body down along my spine to my low back and pulled firmly up along my spine all the way to the base of my skull. That felt amazing! I knew right away this is going to be the best massage Ive ever had. Then he continued to stretch and move my body, unlocking all of the tension in my shoulders and neck. Then he placed a hot towel under my neck and gave me the best foot massage ever!When he turned me over I smelled the most wonderful essence of lemon in the face cradle. He used hot towels on my back holding and compressing my low back area and then started to do a dance with both of his forearms along my back muscles. I was drooling. No joke! Then he did some really wonderful work on my butt! Maybe I should say glutes? Either way Ive never had anybody be so thorough whilst working my butt muscles before but I could feel my low back unlocking.This guy is Magic. I can now turn my head like an owl! I might have to fly up from LA regularly to see Ben. Go see him!
