    Though the services are good, the owners care little about their neighbors or the neighborhood in general.

    This is really an excellent spa, I have been going for quite a while now and always return. Last…read moreyear I actually fell down some stairs and hurt my lower back - there was a bruise on my mid to lower back and I had very slight numbness on my leg and a limp. I really don't know what they did but when I left symptoms were pretty much gone and I healed completely in a day or two even though the bruise was still present. Thank you so much to all the ladies there, you're great!

    As far as Chinatown massage joints go, SJ Wonder Spa, or under their new moniker of Fantasy Spa,…read moreepitomizes this genre of business. Who knows what SJ stood for, but it was after some careful consideration that the new name was chosen, I'm quite sure of that. They are right in the middle of the block, and with a big bright purple sign, very hard to miss. This place was a-buzz with activity when I went and seemed like a local favourite. For the first time, I decided to opt for the reflexology option for my massage experience here, which turns out is a fancy name for foot and lower leg massage. I had a dude for this part, and he was amazing at making my feet feel awesome. Thinking about my feet, it's not something that I felt needs attention, but I was super happy that I spent the extra coin on this option as feet are something that can get taken for granted. First they bring a bucket of hot water to soak them in, and then the guy massages them along with the leg below the knee. Well worth trying out and see how it feels. The massage included some of the back-walking, but wasn't quite as intense as the other experience I had. Since the place was quite busy, there were more distractions making the experience less than ideal. Still quite impressive and worth checking out to see for yourself. The place seemed right out of a movie and unforgettable!

    After years of physical therapy, massages and everything else today I had the pleasure of getting…read morethe greatest massage ever from Richard. I've had massages but this massage was on a next level. He know what he's doing and knew exactly what my body needed. I came in with an extremely sore upper back and am leaving 50% better. This has been a stubborn sore that's lasted 1.5 week I am thrilled I get to leave feeling like weight has been taken off my back. I will definitely be back. Thank you Richard and Red Maple Massage!

    DO NOT BOOK HERE FOR A PRENATAL MASSAGE…read more I left a message on my booking notes saying I needed a prenatal massage specialist as I'm 7 months pregnant, and to please confirm this would be possible. I received a call from Richard, the RMT who explained they have a prenatal massage table with a hole in it. I'm thinking, this is so great, I haven't been able to lie on my belly for 7 months. When I arrived for the massage, the questionnaire I filled out didn't have any pregnancy related questions. I was asked to get on the table and insert my belly into a 8 inch or so tall firm foam pillow with a hole cut out of it and a tight sheet draped over top. This was not a prenatal massage table, but rather a cheaper alternative. So I try to get into a comfortable position without any instructions, and place my belly hanging into this pillow/hole and my head and neck are way down still at the normal table level. I'm basically on my hands and knees or else I'm putting my whole weight onto this pregnancy pillow. The sheet is making the hole smaller and tighter since it doesn't stretch once I put my weight on it. It seemed fine at first, so I let the RMT know I was ready to begin the massage. Not even 5 minutes into the massage I'm feeling my lower abdomen start to cramp, I realize this hole isn't big enough or maybe I just need to reposition myself because I have a sharp foam corner cutting into my uterus clearly cutting off space for my baby to move around in there. I can feel the restricted kicks. So I try to reposition myself to make sure my belly is in the right spot, thinking I must be doing something wrong here. The only other positon I could fit on this foam platform in is to hang my boobs half off the sharp edge where the pillow ends. That was quite painful as well, but at least my baby is safer I'm thinking. I'm still not comfortable at all, but trying to be polite and I SO need this massage for my back. Time keeps passing and every 5 minutes feels like forever because of how uncomfortable I am. The sheet is so tight I can feel my belly is very squished. It's also 40 degrees Celsius in this room so I had to ask for more AC or a fan to be turned on. I finally tell Richard after 5 or 6 times readjusting and saying I'm not comfortable and him not taking a hint or asking how he can help that I don't think I fit in this hole. Instead of asking me what he can do to make my experience better, he asks if I'm having twins and tells me he's almost done. This would have been a perfect opportunity for him to worry about what the hole being too small could mean for the safety of my child. Instead, he prefers to rush through the end of the massage. I assume this means we're almost done since I'm not keeping track of time, but he continues to work on my back applying more pressure to a very sore belly at this point for what felt like forever. So I opted for a plank position so that I was no longer putting weight onto my belly, but hanging it loose instead. I should have asked him to stop, I shouldn't have worried about being polite at this point, but I continued to feel pressured not to say anything because the massage was "almost done". He now tells me to flip on my back and he'll work on my legs for the next 20 mins. I tell him I'm actually not supposed to be on my back at all this late in pregnancy (he should know this), but if it's just a couple of minutes I think it could be okay. I was honestly looking for anything to relieve the pressure on my belly at this point. After leaving the clinic, my belly immediately started to hurt, kind of like the feeling you get when you've been punched in a muscle. I assume this is from so much weight leaning on my tender uterus muscle. I'm starting to fear the worst, can this procedure be unsafe? Why would they offer it if it isn't safe? So I do some research when I get home and find out that no pregnant women should be asked to lie in this position for any amount of time, and that qualified prenatal specialists will have you in a side lying position. The pregnancy tables with a hole cut out are dangerous if you're too small or if you're too big for them. If you're too small, the belly hangs down and can cause unnecessary strain on your back and ligaments in your stomach that are designed to hold baby in place. there's also my situation, being too big for the hole. Especially in this situation where there is actually a firm surface at the end of a hole, your amniotic sac gets compressed and restricts movement for your child which could be seriously harmful. I'm not in complete disbelief. I trusted these medical experts. Yes, I should have researched first, but again, I trusted these medical experts. I can't help but feel like the money made from this massage was more important to this RMT and this practice than the safety of my child. DO NOT BOOK HERE FOR A PRENATAL MASSAGE.
