I cancelled 23 hours previous, and the day of my appointment, it still showed me as booked. The page says that only 8 hours notice is required. I phoned twice, and the phone just rang through with no voicemail. The owner Mike Booth called me a liar. He spouted irrational nonsense about how the site might say 8 hours notice for cancellation, but it's "actually" 24. He called me a liar several times, and blamed the dysfunction on their 3rd party calling system----but still made it my fault. I did not have my caller i.d. on when I phoned, so apparently this makes me a liar. Ironically, Booth had his caller i.d. off as well. Again, I believe the therapist should not have to suffer for the company's dysfunction. But being abused and gaslighted as a client is not okay. Massage Athletica lost a client and made an enemy by their crazymaking and abusive response. This is not okay for any business, but for one that practices the healing arts, it is completely contrary to what they stand for. I also had to nag them to send receipts each time I visited, so that should have been a red flag. I hope Nicole reads this. I worked as a contractor for a company like this, and lost clients and income because of the admin's behaviour. I hope she finds somewhere more respectful.

Rave is located in the new strip mall across from St. Vital mall - they opened in March 2014. It's…read moreone of the city's first membership-based massage therapy clinic. You can opt in for free by agreeing to pay for a one hour massage every month at a reduced price. Apparently it rolls over if you don't use it and you can get unlimited massages at that same reduced price. The ambiance feels like somewhere between a regular massage clinic and a more spa like place. The place has a very serene feel to it and is quite large as there are a number of rooms in the back. You can book online and there's a receptionist available as well. They say their massage is 1 hour but like many places, it's more like 50 mins as the therapist is not always on time and then gives you another 5 mins or so to change. The room is simply designed with good temperature, each massage table has adjustable heat and the music is the typical new age relaxation songs. Right now they are offering an intro rate of $54.95 for a 50 min massage. To compare pricing for similar 50 min massages in the city: Rave = member $64.95 / non-member $84.95 for 50 mins relaxation Swedish massage Spas: Ten Spa = $115 Riverstone = $105 Massage Clinics: Academy Massage = $70 Waterfront Massage = $68 So their pricing is a bit less than the massage clinics if you take on the membership but I'm not one to have a massage every month and I don't think many people have such generous health plans to cover 12 massages a year. For those reason, the membership pricing doesn't work for me but it's a decent deal if you do require massages more frequently and have a generous plan. The therapist I had was ok but he really didn't ask me about how much pressure I prefer or asked me during the session if I wanted more or less pressure. Compared to other therapists, it was ok. Note: no direct billing to your insurer.

I'm a member at Rave Massage and I can't imagine ever having a bad experience there! I've been…read moregoing since March 2014 since they opened and have always had a great therapist. I decided to try a few before I found my favorite, they have over 12 so there is always options. The decor is all new and the music is relaxing, I always feel like I am having a spa experience when I go with the hot towels and heated tables that I can control, it always smells so nice inside! The bank across the road was under construction in May/June and was claiming a good chunk of the parking lot but since then I've never had an issue. As far as timing is concerned, I've only seen people have problems if they were coming in late for their appointment. The receptionists are busy women and often running around keeping the place clean, but I've never experienced a long wait and they've always addressed my concerns or asked a therapist if they didn't know. After the initial introductory massage the rates go up, but my membership status makes it only $10 more and entitles me to extend the pricing to family in my household and some luxurious aromatherapy. Everyone I've recommended to go to Rave has LOVED IT and the majority have signed up to be members too. Since I've been getting massage regularly I haven't had a single migraine and I'm so RAVING about it!
