Aiken - Balanced Bodies Massage Therapy — Local services in Edison

True expert

I’ve been seeing Aiken for nearly six months now, and I can say without hesitation that he’s the best massage therapist I’ve ever worked with. His encyclopedic knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics is immediately evident the moment he starts assessing your posture, movement patterns, and trigger points. He doesn’t just “rub knots out”—he explains why they’re there, how they’re affecting your alignment, and what you can do between sessions to maintain progress. Every session is customized to my evolving needs. Whether it’s deep-tissue work to release chronic shoulder tension from desk work, targeted myofascial release for IT band issues, or gentle neuromuscular re-education for an old ankle injury, he adapts with precision. The results speak for themselves: I walk out taller, move with zero pain, and actually feel my body recalibrating. What sets him apart: • Diagnostic skill: He’ll catch imbalances you didn’t know existed (like how my hip flexors were compensating for weak glutes). • Educational approach: Leaves you empowered, not dependent. • Consistency: Six months in, every session builds on the last—no plateauing.

I had a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in until the time I left I couldn't have asked for better. I sat explaining my physical situation and the massage therapist calmly listened then I was escorted into a room with a table. I got on the table which was heated and a comfortable blanket to get under. He worked out all my body kinks with soothing music and dimmed lighting adding to the experience. By the time it was done I was so relaxed I didn't even want to get up and once I did my whole body felt much lighter than when I walked in. If you've never been to a massage therapist I strongly...
