I went here on Friday night for a one-hour massage, thanks to a TeamBuy coupon the boy got me for…read moreChristmas (and yes, it took me like 6 months to use it! I know, crazy-straws). I immediately liked the atmosphere when I walked in - quiet and clean with soothing music playing, a sunny waiting room with drinks and an info board (including a "recipe of the month" pouch where it looked like one staffer contributed copies of a recipe each month - neat idea!). I learned that this place also has a focus on colon health, which seemed like sort of an odd combination, but it was nice to see that they are diverse in terms of their services. I don't have much experience with massage places (I've only had a massage once before in my life), so I was not really sure what to expect. Anna was really nice from the get-go, however, and when I told her my main discomfort is neck/shoulder pain (from sitting at a computer/desk all day - ah, SO bad for you!) she immediately showed me a great stretch and how to hold it. She asked details about where specifically I am feeling the tension and explained a bit about what might be the source, gave me some tips, etc. I immediately felt like I was in the hands of someone who really cared about my well-being - and this was before the actual massage. I'm not going to lie, the massage was painful at times - if you are a sensitive person I would not recommend Anna - but I also had a TON of major knots in my back and shoulders that needed to be worked out and that required some major kneading. Plus, I prefer a high pressure massage - I want to walk out of there really feeling like my muscles have been worked on. I could actually feel the knots coming out, which was good. You can tell when someone is a professional who knows exactly where pressure needs to go. All in all it was a great experience, and next time I want a massage I will definitely go back. Anna even said that we could work out a payment plan sometime, since I don't currently have a health plan. I thought that was a really nice gesture (there are very few places that will be that flexible when it comes to money). Unfortunately, I can't provide any input about pricing because I used a coupon, but according to the website a one-hour treatment is $85, which seems a tad pricey to me, but worth it if ongoing tension is something you deal with it could be worth it to go every few months. http://www.totalkneads.ca/services/index.html You can also book your appointment online really quickly and easily, if that's your preference. And who could resist that clever name?

I hate massages. Yep. I AM THE 1%!!!! (Please, don't occupy)…read more I do however, really need them! I have had a few over the years and I am far too tender to touch to enjoy them. I tense up and almost experience anxiety as I find it so uncomfortable. On a whim, I decided to try a new therapist. I like to support business in the north end when possible so I checked total kneads online and booked an appt. I loved that I could book online and didnt have to call. I hate using the phone even though I love talking! Web-based booking is fantastic and the system reminds you of your appointments as well. I had an appt with Lucy Vanden Brink, she is absolutely fantastic. We had a great consultation before the service and she really *heard* me when I said I am tender. She notices when I flinch or when I seem to tense up and she will check with me and change the pressure to accomodate me. I was sore after my first treatment but kept going back and am so glad I found her. She is taking a short bit of time off for Mat leave but I am glad she will be back! Praises are sung! Lucy is amazing!

Was looking for a good place to get a massage that was close to my work. I chose massage addict…read morebecause I'd been told it was a good place to get a cheap massage, but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I didn't find out until after that this is a chain (the McDonalds of massages if you will). The receptionist wasn't very friendly or helpful and the masseuse also showed little to no personality. I felt very much like the next person on the conveyor belt. The masseuse just didn't seem very friendly, the environment was cold. None of the people there seemed to like being there. Just seemed like a bad work environment which was reflected in the attitudes of the staff. The massage was okay. It was a little heavy handed and since I was there for an injury I didn't feel like the masseuse spent the appropriate time assessing the injury itself or talking to me about the pain. Any other massage I've been to they've really assessed what was going on before starting which made me sort of feel like the therapist at massage addict didn't really know what she was doing. I'd recommend going to one of the many locally owned smaller massage businesses in town where the masseuse cares about their work because it's their business.
