  • Salt Space and Halotherapy in Manitowoc, Wisconsin

In 2002 Gina Armstrong created Therapeutic Massage Works LLC and rented one room in the Prigge Insurance Building on Memorial Drive in Two Rivers. It was a modest start with a grand vision to create a wellness center. With continued growth, in 2009, Gina purchased the old "stained glass place" that was built in 1889, a beautiful cream city brick building located on the corner of Buffalo and 10th street and named it Balance on Buffalo.

An opportunity to cleanse, remodel, and restore the historic building occurred in May of 2012 when an intense 4 alarm fire forced Therapeutic Massage Works LLC to work at an offsite location. Therapeutic Massage Works moved back into Balance on Buffalo in January 2013 after eight months of restoring and rebuilding.
