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. I love the friendly receptionists including Rebecca who have the best energy. I’ve come to love this welcoming clinic and would highly recommend you trying.read more

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

Rebecca at Reception super warm and welcoming. Preeya was amazing, talked through what she was doing and offering tips to help strengthen areas of weakness. As a first timer I felt comfortable and listened to by her. I will be back!

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. I leave relaxed and like a truck was lifted off my shoulders. Clinic wise, I like the ease of the online booking system and all staff are very friendly.read more

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

They listen to the issues that you present and try to provide effective treatments to assist. So far it has been pleasant and unrushed experience for me, unlike what I have experienced at some other clinics.

I recently worked with Prashant Desai. It was an excellent treatment and I will come back and see him again. He carefully listened to my issues and let me know how he felt we should approach treatment. During the treatment, he continuously checked that I was doing ok. I appreciated that. Very good experience.read more

I had the best massage therapy sessions at Royal York Massage clinic. I already had 2 sessions and can say that they all are very professional. I had my first session with Preeya and 2nd with Prashant. They both have excellent skills and very depth knowledge. You will meet Rebecca at front and she is very welcoming and keeps your appointment and reminders on track. I have a peace of mind about my therapy sessions since I found this clinic.read more

I met Melanie Jones this morning for RMT neck and shoulder and head massage. My boyfriend recommended her to me. She used some finger puncture technique to get rid of my tinnitus and my stick neck. Melanie Jones is a very caring RMT. I would strongly recommend her to anyone experiencing stiff neck discomfort.read more

Melanie has treated me over several years and her expertise, experience, professionalism and lovely personality keep me coming back! I had a session yesterday and feel so much better today…I’ve booked my next few appointments in advance so I don’t forget to take care of myself (or more aptly, to let Melanie take care of me!). Thanks to you and the rest of the team for a wonderful experience as alwaysread more

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. My hip is quite tight and after seeing Jessica i can literally go a month sometimes longer without feeling pain again.read more

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

I was visiting the area from out of town and they were able to accommodate me on very short notice. Cassandra did an excellent job and was able to clear up all of the tightness in my calves.

I have been to Royal York Massage Therapy a number of times and each time Melanie has given me a massage. She is amazing! 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
