I am MacKenzie Carter, I am the owner and operator of Balanced Bodywork. I have been passionate about natural medicine since childhood. I believe in the body's natural ability to heal itself when given the right environment. We come to accept pain as we age and move through life, however with the proper maintenance this is not necessarily true! It is possible to live without pain well into old age, so long as we have integration. Integration is the ability for the parts to work together a whole. Structural Integration focuses on the relationship between form and function, on mechanics and moving tissue to the most ideal places. Each joint should have space between it to give freedom for movement and expansion. I am a proponent for regular stretching as stretching has more benefits than the average person realizes and not to mention is a (mostly) free activity! Stretching is a form of communication to your body which reteaches your tissues, reminding them of their potential, which ideally is done daily, just as eating food and drinking water are daily practices. Come explore all that you can achieve in a body that is more at ease.
