Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork. The owner of Knead for Balance, Inc., Ms.
Gramzay has run a highly successful practice in Scottsdale, AZ for more than a
decade, and worked concurrently for a number of years at DC Ranch Country Club
and the Ritz Carlton-Phoenix. In these settings, she worked with professional
athletes in baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf and boxing, contributing a
wealth of knowledge in the area of sports massage. Her excellent reputation in
treating athletes led to her opportunity as the therapist for a Minor League
Baseball team, where she works with professional baseball players, coaches and
team staff during Arizona Spring Training.

Ms. Gramzay built her business with a solid foundation. After earning her bachelor’s
degree in Business Administration and 20 years in corporate and entrepreneurial
business, she graduated from the Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College in 1999.
Her passion to understand how the body moves and the need to find a smarter
way to work laid the foundation for a new perspective in massage. Through nine
years of application, documentation & evolution, she developed Kinessage®
Massage Through Movement, a highly effective and efficient method that uses the
body's design for movement to care simultaneously for both therapist and client.
