Lymphedema
Have you had surgery involving the lymphatic system, or had trauma - you are at risk of developing lymphedema.
How do you know if you have edema, water rich swelling or lymphedema, protein rich swelling.
Left untreated lymphedema will progress, swelling increases and tissues harden.

The sooner it is addressed the easier it is to treat and the less disruptive it will be.

Patient Testimonials
"Josh and Gabe were very caring and knowledgeable in treating me. Over the past several years they have diagnosed and treated me for issues with my back, hip, and shoulder. The exercise plan that they customized for my specific problems successfully helped me rehab back to an active life style. I highly recommend them and will be going back the next time I pull, or tweak, or stretch, or break something else."
Steve Haupt from Kirkwood
"I had Katy during my second pregnancy. She performed a miraculous prenatal massage for me at my 32nd week. She had amazing pressure and pin-pointed the exact spots that I felt tension. She was friendly but also gave me space to accept and enjoy “me time.” I left feeling 10x’s better than when I arrived. I highly recommend her for anyone - pregnant or not. "
Kala Z. from Kirkwood
"I have learned so much about my body, how it should function, and how to better care for it at Balanced Body Rehab! Everyone is friendly, the environment is relaxed, the facility clean/modern, and the therapists to a fantastic job not only fixing but educating you. I initially went for some knee pain and was feeling better after just one session with Josh! I came back for pelvic floor therapy with Rachel and she helped fix things I didn’t even realize could be fixed! I am now moving more nimbly and feel better. The passion that the team has for helping people live better, pain-free lives is evident. I am so happy I reached out for an appointment and will be a loyal client for years to come!"
KP from Des Peres
"The rehab team focused on my entire body and the cause of my hip pain rather than just the symptoms. Shortly after the cause was addressed the symptoms disappeared as well. I have an exercise program that I can live with and I'm confident it will prevent a recurrence of my pain. Very happy! "
David B. from Kirkwood
"Balanced body provides n unusual combination of precise rehab exercises along with work to improve whole body posture to prevent aggravating an injury or avoid future injury. This approach is very helpful in recovery, Josh and shis taf are very supportive."

"Balanced Body Rehab was an OUTSTANDING physical therapy facility. In assisting me on my frequent falls both Josh Borgmeyer and Gabe Sison were extremely helpful in giving me the confidence and encouragement to perform exercises that would decrease my falling propensity. The exercises are easy, and I attempt mightily to perform them daily because they are not over-the-top time consuming. I also believe it is important to stress the cleanliness of the space especially cleaning the tables in the treatment room and changing the pillow cases after each patient. (It is the little things in life that make all the difference.) Without any hesitation I would without qualification recommend Balanced Body Rehab to anyone seeking absolutely qualified physical therapists with 100 percent attention and concern re the treatment process and tremendous knowledge of the human body and physical therapy needed. These two guys are EXTRAORDINARY; and should I ever need PT in the future, I will not hesitate to become a repeat patient."

"I have worked with many of the staff and they are all amazing. I started for hip and knee pain that they helped me to relieve. I have worked with Rachel in particular. She has been treating me for leakage I thought was "normal". After a few sessions with her I am more confident. Using the pelvic floor exercises and breathing techniques she has given me I am on my way to walking and doing all the things I love and staying dry. Rachel is exceptional and I appreciate all the tools she suggests to correct the problem. Its a wonderful practice I highly recommend "
Lori O. from Kirkwood
"Excellent therapy. Program was designed personally for me. I started with knee pain, very hard to get out of a chair and after about 2 months of the program it is now easier. I intend to continue the exercises daily and keep improving. I am a gardener and the manager of a food pantry. My mobility had greatly improved so I can continue my activities. I highly recommend Balanced Body. PS: I'm 87 yrs. old."
