The Great American Backrub

Had some time to kill late on a Friday afternoon so decided to drop in here for a quick chair massage. Reception was friendly and prompt. I only had to wait a couple of minutes and was greeted by a man named Yakovlyev (possibly his last name — not sure!) Massage is very individual so I think reviews are subjective but I thought this guy was great. I was very tense and my back was in knots. The massage was crazy intense — quick with a lot of pressure. Normally I prefer a more relaxing massage, but I think he just knew what I needed! He really knew what he was doing. Felt like he worked every tendon, muscle and morsel of tissue in my entire back. After the 20 minutes I felt renewed. I work in the building so will try to make it a point of dropping in more often!

I’ve been using the massage service at this place for over a year. I finally found one or two RMT therapists that are suitable to my need. Especially one who works only Wednesdays and Thursdays. I did receive two times not as comfortable back massage services from a female and a young male therapists. They are definitely out of my list. However, I believe different people suit into different style of massage.
The receptionists there are always friendly. People can walk in or call to make an appointment.
Customers can choose various time sessions (from 10 mins, 20 mins… to an hour) for back massage or even foot massage. I personally do not recommend foot massage here because there is no proper foot massage chair in the place. If a foot massage is requested, the only private room with a massage bed will be used. I prefer to sit on a chair for my foot massage.
I am glad there is this massage service nearby my workplace, so that I can take a short break from work to relax my sore muscle from exercise and from sitting too long at the office.
The place provides an RMT receipt for each massage service. It is good for those who have insurance coverage.
They offer a 10 sessions get 2 free sessions package which is quite a good deal.

You can’t give a place 1 star if you only went to one person. I’ve walked in without an appointment 4 times and each person kept on getting better and better. there’s a guy named matt who works slow and really gets into your back. When he was done, he gave me tips and suggested exercises to help with my back. then I had breanna. The BEST RMT I have ever had in my life. If you like hard massaged where the person digs their thumbs on your back and puts tons of deep pressure on your back you need to see her. I can’t stress enough how amazing she was. Although her hands were tired, she still gave me an extra 10 minute massage. she is the absolute best

The 4 starts are for the great back and scalp massage that I got from Azeez at this location. The service desk was prompt. The only problem with this place is the lack of a wall/​door between the massage stalls and the reception. You can hear all the heels clicking by and all the office chatter in the path outside.

I received one of the worst massages in my life. I found the therapists to be unskilled as all they did is make circular motions on my back… my back is hurting more after coming from there. For what I received this place was over priced
