You can’t miss with this massage therapy clinic - I’ve seen both Lisa and Melanie and both are exceptional at their craft. Book some self care today and you won’t be regret it. Felt like a new woman after my 75 minutes with Lisa today and Melanie is your RMT for all things deep tissue!read more

From the friendly receptionist to the excellent staff, RYMT has it all. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and skilled. My first session she sat down and discussed any issues I wanted addressed. I thought this would be just for the first time, but every subsequent time was the same! Afterwards, Sarah provided some tips and exercises I could do at home to continue helping. Have been for multiple sessions now and every time I have left feeling better and with increased mobility. Have been to many places over the years and this place has been the best by far! Highly recommend.read more

It was my first visit to Royal York Massage Therapy. Hannahlee had already gone through my intake form and spoke to my concerns before my massage. The treatment itself was amazing and Hannahlee was making sure throughout that the pressure used was what I wanted. I will definitely be returning.read more

I had a last minute massage with Sudesh Phagoo. First time at the clinic. I went in with lower back pain due to my sedentary profession. Prior to the booking I’d rate my pain and discomfort at 5/10. I’m happy to announce that 24 hours later, it’s practically gone. He focused on the area with strategy and patience. I am quite shocked with the results. As Arnold would say, “I’ll be back!”read more

Dear RYMT and community,After almost three years of employment, it is time to say farewell. Hopefully, I will cross paths with some of our clients before I go and if not, perhaps, somewhere down the road. I am grateful for the time spent and knowledge gained from this experience. My colleagues are not only extraordinarily talented and kind people - they have all become like family. Our clients are just exceptional and always made me feel valued. Thank you for trusting me with helping arrange your care. Much love, respect, and appreciation always. And, to Henry, the long suffering Leaves fan, I will forever shout, “Go Jets Go!” 🥳😂❤️read more

First time massage with Melanie. RYMT staff were very professional, welcoming, and are great at scheduling. As this was my first massage, Melanie asked me what I was looking for then discussed her approach and explained how to communicate more or less pressure and where to what level of tenderness was expected. She was very knowledgeable and my massage felt great. I already booked my next appointment!read more

My experience with Lisa today was incredible. She has a unique ability to really use her skills to get to the root causes and conditions of pain and discomfort. I left the appointment feeling better physically and emotionally as her practice targeted both my muscle tension and the underlying stress that keeps my body tight and tense. Thank you SO MUCH Lisa for being such a wonderful, skilled, attentive therapist 🙂read more

Sarah is the best! I've had two sessions with Sarah and I both times I've felt like I was on cloud nine, both during the massage and afterwards. Sarah was very attentive, thorough and professional. She made me feel at ease from the moment she greeted me to the moment she wished me goodbye. I've already booked my third Appointment with her, she is my go-to RMT from now on. Thank you Sarah!!read more

I have been getting deep tissue massage therapy with Melanie and I have to say, these are one of the best massages I've ever had. Melanie is incredibly skilled and was able to work out knots and tension in my muscles that I didn't even know I had.The massage itself was a bit more intense than other massages I've had in the past, but it was exactly what I needed to get rid of the tension and tightness in my muscles. Melanie was very communicative throughout the massage, asking if the pressure was too much or too little and making sure I was comfortable the entire time.What really impressed me about the therapist was her knowledge of anatomy and her ability to target specific areas of my body that were causing me pain. She were able to pinpoint exactly where I was feeling tension and work on those areas specifically.Overall, I highly recommend this deep tissue massage therapist for anyone looking to get rid of tension and pain in their muscles. The therapist was highly skilled, communicative, and knowledgeable, and the massage was incredibly effective in providing relief.read more

Been here twice so far, and I've found my new go to. Kevin was my RMT both times and he's great. The other staff I've dealt with there are very friendly and when booking appointments, I've been able to get in pretty quickly!

I have been involved in sports my whole life and have seen a few massage therapists over the that time. Today was my first appointment with Igal and it exceeded my expectations. Igal’s knowledge and techniques are on the next level compared to others I have seen in the past. He was able to notice what needed attention and explained what approach we needed to take to correct those things. Will definitely be coming back to Royal York massage.read more

We are big fans of this clinic! Our family of five have all seen either Henry or Gina or both 🙂 They now feel like a part of our extended family. Beyond being professional and extremely knowledgeable, they are compassionate, caring and go above and beyond to help address your needs. I recently had a back injury that Gina was able to resolve in one session and it was an absolute life saver for a mom of three littles. We highly recommend their services to anyone!read more

I’ve had massage with both Lisa and Melanie. Both are amazing RMTs who not only helps me ease my shoulder pain but also provide practical tips and stretches to improve my overall health.

Lisa.T is the absolute best! If you suffer from acute/chronic pain and deep tissue massages are the only thing that give you relief, Lisa is your girl! I have had at least 25 different RMTs work on me between the US and Canada and Lisa is the best RMT I have ever had. She actually LISTENS to your needs and delivers every single time. Probably one of the very few RMTs that actually works on areas you ask them to and even focuses on areas that need more attention. I suffer from intense neck, shoulder and upper back muscle spasms causing migraines and seeing Lisa once a month goes a long way in alleviating this pain and increasing my overall quality of life! 10/10 would recommend her anyday!read more

One of the most outstanding RMT businesses out there with the customer service being 5* thanks to Rebecca and Emma at the front who truly put their heart into the business. Beyond that every therapist is outstanding - my husband and I have tried numerous of them - Melanie, Preeya, Sudesh, Marie-Ange, Henry and more. Whether you need to relax or get a deep tissue that is rather intense, they'll do it all. Lucky to have them near home!read more

I recently had a massage with Vanessa and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Vanessa incorporated Reiki into the session, and even though this is not something I usually go for, it definitely added an extra layer of relaxation and comfort.Vanessa took a very personable approach to the session and listened attentively to my concerns. Her touch was incredibly soothing and I left the session feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Definitely recommend!read more

As an RMT myself, I'm always on the lookout for talented and knowledgeable therapists. I just had a 60-minute session with RMT Igal Untershats who, not only unlocked my hips and lower back, but also educated me more than any RMT I have visited to date. I highly recommend Igal. He is a warm and friendly guy who just wants to help as many people as he can.read more

I have gotten a couple of amazing massages from Sarah. Sarah is knowledgeable, it's obvious that she reads your chart/history, asks questions to ensure the treatment is effective, and has great technique.

Preeya’s knowledge and kind demeanour was a delight. The work she did for me relieved a lot of pain, and invigorated me. She blended massage therapy with what she is learning in her osteopathy training and delivered exceptional results, relieving pain that I didn’t even know I had, while targeting the issues I brought in to get addressed. I have already booked my next appointment with her.read more

I recently worked with Prashant Desai. It was an excellent treatment and I will come back and see him again.

I went to go see Lisa after having months of issues with my shoulder and neck. The discomfort was unbearable. I was constantly uncomfortable, unable to stand, sit or sleep. I was advised by medical professionals to go to physio and to see a chiropractor. I attended an appointment with Lisa at Royal York Massage Therapy under the advice of a friend and I have to say she is a miracle worker. I felt a huge difference after just one session; I was actually able to have a full night sleep without any pain or discomfort. After the third session my neck and shoulder issues have completely diminished. I'm happy to say my issues have been resolved without having to see a chiropractor or physiotherapist!read more

Every time I get a massage with my girl - Jessica - I feel nothing but relief after. Hands down my favorite RMT yet, she really gets in every little crack and she is really informative.

I always recommend this place to my family and friends. My practitioners approach was detailed and methodical. After various sports related injuries, I can vouch that this place and my RMT Igal Untershats are the reasons why I believe in Massage Therapy as a form rehabilitation. If you're looking for a place that cares about you and your well being, you will not be disappointed.read more

I started seeing Marie Ange to help with chronic pain in my neck, shoulder, back and leg approximately a year ago. She was able to help me function normally, literally felt like walking on air every time I left a session and for up to a week. Slowly I was able to stretch my appointments from weekly to biweekly to monthly. I have missed her greatly through this pandemic, she is professional and knowledgeable. She is kind, she is funny, she has great stories of France! and as I write this review I am comfortable enough with all precautions the clinic has taken to call for an appointment. See you soon!read more

I had 60min massage with Colleen Man and man was it phenomenal. I do ultrasound so my neck, shoulders and hips get extremely tight but they were no match for this small-framed rock star. She was strong and methodical. She explained everything as she went along and asked if the pressure needed adjusting which made me know she was paying attention to what she was doing. She was intuitive with the tightest spots and gave them the extra attention needed. She gave a phenomenally therapeutic massage which was an unexpected delight. I will definitely be booking my next session soon. Thanks Colleen!!read more

She is without a doubt one of the best massage therapists I have ever had over the years. She has really strong, experienced hands. After I come out of a session with her all the aches and pains have disappeared completely. She is always checking the pressure throughout the session and is extremely thorough.She is truly a gifted masseuse and knows her craft! I would book a session with Melanie at least once a week if I could! I look forward to booking more sessions with her in 2013!read more
