A Truly Healing Experience
By Andrea
I came to Energy Balance after a long chain of disappointing experiences trying to find relief from muscular pain associated with fibromyalgia. Unlike many local massage therapists, Sorina Durante is well-versed in medical massage and creatively combined different techniques and modalities to address my health needs. Trigger point and muscle fascia work is often painful, as many people with fibromyalgia can attest; by using a cutting edge technique called Pain Neutralization Technique, Sorina not only made trigger points that I've had for years release but she did it in a quick, painless manner. Supplementing the massage treatment with Reiki, laser therapy, and cleansing foot baths at Energy Balance, my quality of life has improved so drastically I can hardly put it into words. I even managed to finally quit smoking with the support of laser therapy to knock out cravings. I whole-heartedly recommend Energy Balance Laser Therapy & Massage to anyone, especially those of you who have a chronic muscular or joint problem that is limiting your life. I consider myself lucky to be working with a health professional who is so knowledgeable and passionate about bringing healing to her clients.
Caring, Compassionate and Very Competent
I came to Energy Balance over a year ago, with knee pain that was not getting any better after more than a month. I am a ballroom dancer, so it was really interfering with my favorite activity. I had the laser therapy on my knees, a couple of times a week for a while, and then less often. Thanks to Sorina, my knees got completely better, no pain, and I was able to go back to dancing, no problem! I've recommended her to friends because I think she is such a caring practitioner, and also because she is one of the most competent alternative health care people I know. I've also tried the hot stone massage, which was really excellent - it really helped my muscles to relax, which is not easy since my shoulders and upper back are always in knots. This year, I've been dealing with sciatica. I've been to a chiropractor for months with very little improvement. So far I have had two sessions with Sorina. She has used laser therapy and trigger point work, and the difference is very noticeable. I plan to continue to go until the pain is gone, which I am sure it will be.
Excellent Service !!

Energy Balance came highly recommended for laser therapy for a knee injury. In just a very short period of time, this gentle, easy cellular level treatment caused my pain to be drastically reduced & freedom of movement greatly increased. I have also experienced massage & Reiki from Energy Balance with great results. Owner Sorina Durante is extremely compassionate and knowledgeable. Her positive approach towards wellness respects the client concerns and goals.
Miracle Worker... Absolutely Amazing!
I was always skeptical of certain holistic treatments, different, unconventional types of pain management, etc. My friend who's been seeing Sorina Durante for a few months now finally convinced me to meet with her. I wish I went sooner... I am a smoker, in my late 20's, slightly overweight, poor nutrition and suffering from Plantar fasciitis, arthritis in my wrists and hands and filled with toxins. I've also been working in a highly stressful environment for years with constant muscle tension, poor posture and fatigue. I went into Sorina's office with what seemed like a million questions to make sure that this would benefit me and that I wouldn't be in pain while trying any procedures. I chose to start with the foot detox bath. It was painless and actually as gross as it looked towards the end, it was really cool. The ionizer machine went into the foot bath, the water that was once clear was now filled with brown, green and an oily glob or two...I didn't know how to react. Turns out my body began to flush out the nicotine, tar and other various toxins within my kidneys and liver... I felt lighter when I stood up. Next, we did the laser treatment for my feet. Both suffer badly from the plantar and often when I'm driving, the muscles will act up to the point where it feels like a painful charlie horse I'd pull in my sleep. After that night, my left foot felt different... in a good way. I wore flip flops to her office and that's when my feet tend to feel its worst pain. That night, it just didn't hurt. Even right now, 5 days later, it's not acting up. The final procedure was a light neck massage that felt like she was pulling the muscles down from my neck towards the shoulder area. She also loosened up muscles behind my ears on the left and right side of my neck. Prior to the massage, it hurt to turn fully to my left and right, after the 10 minutes or so, my neck's mobility was incredible. I had complete ability without any stiffness that often led to a sharp pain or two. I slept like a baby that night.... :) Even though what I did in comparison to her other services offered was little, for me it made such a big impact that I've committed to go back for more foot detox in addition to her laser therapy for the smoking cessation. She took the time out to educate me, offer me suggestions, explanations and gave me helpful information. All in all, I left with more knowledge and a completely new take on everything I was nervous about before... Her care, her compassion, her volunteer work, her energetic and pleasant personality, her genuine desire to help people... I told her she was a miracle worker. She was very humble when she told me that she just wants to help people. People like Sorina are hard to find these days and I recommend to anyone reading this, read the descriptions of the services she provides, give her a call, make an appointment and try it. I am so very glad that I did.
Awesome Experience!
