Cassandra is the best RMT hands down! Best ashiatsu massage and regular massage! You actually get deep tissue and pain relief!

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

Igal is one of the best RMTs I've encountered. He is highly skilled and is always looking to improve his practice. He is the only RMT that has been able to decrease my chronic pain issues. He is also highly professional and creates a safe and welcoming environment.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

Had the worst sciatic pain for over a month. Melanie Jones FIXED me in 1 visit. This is not a joke. She is beyond the best therapist I have ever had and if you see her, she absolutely will fix you. Mel, can't thank you enough. You literally saved me!

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 would recommend her to anyone looking for an rmt. The fact that they offer direct billing to insurers is a huge plus.read more

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
