What our clients have to say
I was asked to participate in a 12-month skeletal muscle program in Brisbane which ended in April 2011. I was fortunate enough to have been one of Lissa Evans’ patients. During the period I was with her, she worked on a number of sensitive muscle and structural integration points from my head to my feet which gave me great relief, in particular the lower part of my back, and bettered my postural actions. I now have more flexibility, movement and no pain - It is great!
Lissa has an excellent knowledge base and her clinical judgment and technical skills were superb. She demonstrated enthusiasm and competence, and I found her to be compassionate about her field of expertise, very pleasant, motivated with a mature bedside manner.
It was a pleasure knowing Lissa, and if ever I have a skeletal problem in the future, I would have no hesitation in making an appointment.

As I am an academic and exercise physiologist, the structural integration process was an eye-opener in regards to muscle and myofasical massage. As a client it was fantastic to undergo the process and see the changes over 10 weeks but really it was the increase in freedom of movement over the process and not feeling like I HAD to have a massage all the time that I appreciated the most. I really came to realise that deep tissue is not always the answer. Thanks Lissa

I hoped that SI would improve my posture and, in turn, my capacity to run and surf again.
I was impressed that before and after photos were taken throughout the treatment series, as many alternative therapies leave no visible signs of improvement. However, I was pleasantly surprised that my most recent SI photos show a markedly improved posture.
I’ve also noticed very definite improvements in flexibility in areas where work was directed and my running feels freer and easier.

Dave, 60, turned to Lissa after regular chiropractic treatments failed to bring him lasting pain relief.
I’d been seeing a chiropractor regularly to ease persistent and increasingly painful lower back and neck problems, but it just wasn’t a long-term solution.
Desperate to be pain-free, I turned to Lissa who introduced me to monthly Structural Integration treatments. Now my backs feel lighter and more flexible; I’m also beginning to lose my militaristic “shoulders back” posture as I learn to explore a new level of comfort in my own body.

At sixty three years of age I probably slot seamlessly into the category of a “Grumpy Old Man”...then why am I singing the praises of a practice called “ Living Balance Body Therapies”? For the first time in over 20 years, I have finally found relief for the most debilitating pain in my right foot. After just four sessions I can actually walk without my toes looking like bent and reddened talons and the fiery ball of pain under my foot soft and flexible once again...Why wouldn’t I be happy?!
Over the twenty or more years I have been through bone scans, nuclear medicine, localised bone and joint X rays, MRI’s to ankles and feet, numerous blood tests, chiropractors, hundreds of dollars in footwear filled with wads of orthotic bastardry, cortisone needles, spinal X rays and postural analysis. If anyone has been subjected to any of the above without success, I would strongly advise that you pay a visit to Living Balance Body Therapies.
I am not saying that it is a total cure, but the relief and freedom of movement that I have personally experienced for my condition is nothing short of spectacular. I have personally recommended this therapy to family and friends and will continue to do so.
Happy days

I first attended LBBT in 2009 after seeing an article on Dorn therapy. I had been having problems with my neck for over 10 years and was attending massage/chiropractic most weeks. I have now been attending LBBT for over a year and have noticed huge improvements with my neck pain and headaches. I attend on a monthly basis now just to maintain my progress.
I no longer have the same problem with my neck and I have learned valuable skills about how to improve and manage the issues myself. Dorn therapy has had a huge positive impact on my life and I am so grateful to Lissa at LBBT for their support and assistance.

I have had many massages regularly over the years, remedial, Emmett, bowen etc for relaxation, but mainly for bad neck and shoulder. For probably the last 12 months I have had myo fascia massages at Living Balance Body Therapies and have found them great in 2 ways. Firstly they are soothing not too painful, and secondly without any doubt the benefits are longer lasting.
I don’t tend to get the muscle spasms like I used to and can feel the difference for much longer periods, . I am more than happy to recommend Living Balance Body Therapies!
