End Your Tension Now

Working from home was supposed to make life easier…
But for most people, it has created a new kind of tension — tight shoulders, stiff low backs, sore necks, and stress that never shuts off because your “office” is now your living room, your kitchen, or even a corner of your bedroom.

And that’s exactly why mobile massage has become one of the most effective forms of self-care for busy people in Whittier and the surrounding areas. When you bring the massage to the client — instead of making them commute to a spa — you remove friction, stress, and inconvenience. You make wellness accessible.

At Balanced Pro Massage, that’s exactly what we do.

With 30+ years of experience, Monica Skalsky, CAMTC #33056, has worked with thousands of clients, taught massage therapy in academic settings, and built four trusted wellness brands:

  • Wrthit — Lymphatic Drainage Massage, serving post-surgical and lymphatic clients across Southern California

  • Peaches by Wrthit, a premium post-op recovery product line featuring the Bellini BBL Pillow

  • Massage Business Academy, an online massage business course

  • And of course, Balanced Pro Massage, her long-standing mobile massage company serving Whittier and nearby cities since 2013

Monica’s entire mission is simple:
Bring exceptional, professional massage therapy directly to people who need relief — wherever they are.

Why Home-Office Workers Need Mobile Massage Now More Than Ever

Whether you’ve moved to remote work, hybrid schedules, or long hours at a computer, your body is absorbing the impact. Here’s what clients tell us every day:

1. “My shoulders hurt all the time.”

Hunched posture and rounded shoulders are the #1 complaint among work-from-home adults. Massage helps restore mobility, reduce tension, and open the chest and shoulders.

2. “I don’t move enough.”

Without commuting, walking to co-workers’ desks, or taking real lunch breaks, your body gets locked into the same position for hours. Mobile massage increases circulation and resets your nervous system.

3. “My stress lives in my neck and jaw.”

Tech neck, jaw clenching, and eye fatigue are modern realities. Skilled therapeutic work reduces chronic tightness and headaches.

4. “I just don’t have time to go anywhere.”

This is exactly why in-home massage works. No traffic. No waiting rooms. No lost time. Just relief.

The Benefits of Bringing Massage Directly to Your Home

✨ Convenience Without Compromise

A licensed, experienced therapist arrives at your home with everything — table, linens, equipment — so you can stay in your comfortable environment.

✨ Better Relaxation = Better Results

Your home is already your safe space. Massages received in a familiar environment help your nervous system relax faster and deeper.

✨ Custom Sessions for Your Body & Lifestyle

Whether you need deep tissue massage, Swedish, stress relief, or restorative work from years of desk tension, the session is tailored 100% to you.

✨ No Post-Massage Stress

After a massage at a spa, you jump back into traffic and tension.
After a mobile massage?
You walk to your couch, drink water, maybe take a nap. Your results last longer.

Self-Care Strategies for Between Your Massage Sessions

These are the same tips we give our corporate clients and home-office workers:

  • Perform shoulder rolls for 30 seconds every hour.

  • Stretch your chest daily to counter rounded shoulders.

  • Use lumbar support behind your lower back while working.

  • Raise your screen to eye level to reduce neck strain.

  • Hydrate — dehydrated muscles get tighter.

  • Take real breaks: step outside for sunlight and movement.

Massage works even better when your daily habits support your body.
