Jacquelyn Reed, owner of Balanced By Touch, works with individuals helping to identify the areas of their body that need attention, whether they suffer from chronic conditions, structural compensations or muscular dysfunctions related to repetitive motions from work or play. She also helps with acute conditions, muscle strains, waking up with a “bad neck,” auto accidents or the aches and pains of renewed physical activity.

She helps individuals preparing for surgery for shoulder, hip, knee and ankle problems. Rehabilitation is easier when you are in good physical shape prior to surgery, and receiving massage in conjunction with physical therapy increases the benefits and can accelerate the results. Current clients include “weekend” triathletes, a personal trainer, a client with complex structural dysfunctions preparing for a rehab reevaluation and fellow massage therapists staying in shape to give the best for their clients. Aromatherapy also plays a role in her work, maximizing the benefits of the bodywork utilizing essential oils. Reed is available for aromatherapy consultations, spa treatments and relaxation massage.

Reed is an adjunct faculty member in the Therapeutic Massage program at Pima Community College. Contact her at 520-490- 4543, [email protected] or BalancedByTouch.com. View online specials at BalancingUTucson.com.
