There's lots of parking, everyone there is very friendly and it's clean and relaxing. The music Nate played during the massage was making me laugh, its relaxing music but funny cause it's top hits that have been redone to be relaxing music. At the end of the massage I was so relaxed and a little spacey which means it was a good massage. Nate was waiting at the front desk with a cold glass of water before I left. I will definitely keep coming back! I will note that if you have mobility issues it may be a little hard to get up to their office as it's up a steep set of stairs. But other than that easy to find!

I'm commenting because the same situation described in an earlier post happened to me almost…read moreidentically. As a new patient, I booked an appointment online using a platform that clearly stated the appointment was not confirmed until approved by the clinic. After booking, I never received a confirmation, so I reasonably assumed the appointment had not gone through. Weeks later, I was contacted and informed that I had missed an appointment and would be charged a no‑show fee. I later discovered that both a confirmation email and a reminder email sent prior to the appointment had gone to my junk folder. To add to the confusion, I was also told that the system indicated I had clicked an unsubscribe link and opted out of communications, which I did not do. I only became aware of the emails after finding them in my junk folder. This further underscores how unreliable and unclear the communication process is. This highlights a systemic issue with the appointment platform that needs to be addressed to prevent missed appointments and no‑shows. I understand that the clinic has clear policies in place, and I appreciate that they attempted to offer the remainder of my appointment time before applying the fee. However, the platform does not provide fail‑safe, transparent communication for confirmed appointments--particularly for new patients. Until the system is improved to include explicit confirmation, redundant notifications, and clearer appointment status tracking, situations like this will continue to occur. Charging patients for failures stemming from the booking and communication system reflects poorly on the business. Unfortunately, as a result of this experience, I will be looking elsewhere in Orléans for a new massage clinic.

She has massaged me a few times and respects that I like to be quiet during my appointments. She has also learned that I have a high pain tolerance and isn't shy about really getting in there to loosen my knots, but always makes sure to check I am still okay with the pressure. I leave every appointment feeling sore (no pain, no gain!), but knowing that Shannon did everything in her power to help with my tense muscles.

This clinic is also a 10 minute walk from my work which is great. At this facility you can get acupuncture or a massage. I was greeted by the Acupuncturist and she made me fill out a few papers. After that I was promptly brought to her room. She took the time to ask me about my concerns and proceeded with needles, cupping and a massage. Personally I did not feel a big difference but keep in mind it was my first appointment. I have a follow up. Let see how that goes.

While I have been using Jon's services for a good 10+ years now, I have had neck and upper back issues since the beginning of COVID with the whole working from home situation, poor posture, etc. Jon has been truly exceptional, he first helped identify the issue, provided exercises and stretches to help, and even recommended a good chiropractor (at my request - so no pushy practices here). One thing that has had me going back again and again to Activate Living Massage Therapy, and Jon more specifically, is his talent. I have had my share of "relaxation" massage and while they are lovely, I don't leave feeling better... Jon has been able to provide great muscle therapy, deep tissue massage and address the problems I have experienced over the years! You can also book his services online, he now has a second location in Kanata... While his availability goes fast, he is always available for urgent appointment and squeezes you in as needed. His experience in sport medicine makes him a great resource to tap into again and again. I have recommended Jon many a time and will continue to do so in a heartbeat.
