Tried to make an appointment and filled out their questionnaire…read more I am a senior and told them honestly of health issues I have and wanted help with. It's been 5 days now and no response. I can only assume they don't want any elderly with health issues and that they aren't interested in helping me. I wouldn't recommend a business such as this. Very disappointed. Wish it was possible to not award any stars at all!

After dealing with debilitating chronic pain and migraines for several years, I was willing to try…read moreanything. My rheumotologist and neurologist both suggested I try acupuncture to see if it could offer any relief. Let's be clear - being poked with long needles is not my idea of a good time. I had no idea how this treatment could be relaxing or helpful, but I'd heard so many good stories so I decided to give it a try. After asking around, several people suggested I head to the massage therapy clinic at the Algonquin College gym. What? Algonquin College has a massage therapy clinic that isn't run by students (they do have a student-run one as well, but that's for another review)? Yes, yes they do. It's tucked away underneath the massive staircase that leads up to the gym. Anyway, after making an appointment with Dar Blue (yep, that's her real name!), I anxiously awaited my appointment. Dar was friendly and calming and explained the procedure to me, making ti very clear that acupuncture doesn't work for everyone, but that is can affect some people quite dramatically. She mentioned I might feel dizzy or ill afterwards. Yeah, I was terrified. She started with a relaxation massage, and I honestly didn't even notice when she started to insert the needles. It was totally painless. I had no adverse reactions, just relaxation and a zen-like feeling (no, I'm not a hippie). Afterwards Dar helped me with a lot of stretching techniques and told me that if I felt any effects it would be within the next 24-48 hours. I felt a lot better - less pain for sure. I'd recommend giving acupuncture a try if you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, and Dar is a great place to start.

I have seen Blanche for several months now and she is simply one of the best RMT in Ottawa. Before…read morethe initial treatment, she conducted a thorough analysis of my body and she discovered things about my spine that I never knew as no other massage therapist ever told me. Her technique is excellent - it can be painful as she works through restrictions and knots, but I feel better for weeks afterwards. She was able to relieve my symptoms of chronic back tension after a single session. I feel extremely relaxed and happy after seeing her, like a different person)) She also takes clients on weekends, which is a big plus for me! I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

The physiotherapist's and kinseologist's take time to give excellent help that is not only helpful to the body but the atmosphere is also healing with a feeling of love, kindness and humour which leaves me going home relaxed and entertained from the laughter. They give me a lot of time also. No clinic in Ottawa can meet the requirements this clinic gives. We are treated as if we were family. This place is a blessing from God. I could go on forever but anyone who is so blessed to be treated at this clinic with more than friendly receptionists will go home feeling on a high but on a healthy high. Love and Hugs Pat Zagler

if you've never had a massage before, you really don't know what you're missing. I know some people…read moreare weirder out at the thoughts of someone else touching them, but head to Lucy at Hands On Health and your life will never be the same. I started visiting Lucy when she worked at the Woodroffe Chiropractic Clinic, due to severe migraines and an old cheerleading injury (you can stop laughing now...some "tiny" girl fell on my neck!). In addition to be super sweet and kind, she is really skilled at what she does. She made getting through life that much easier. Lucy moved to Hands on Health a few years ago, and I really like vising this place. Their location is in Centrepointe, in what looks like a row of nice, new town homes, but is actually a group of small businesses. They're office is located in the downstairs portion of one of the town homes, and is stunningly decorated (they sued to have teh designers card there, but I can't remember her name!) to make you feel relaxed and calm. I've never visited any of the other practitioners, but I've spoken to a few of them and they're delightful. They really care about the clients (Lucy remembers things I told her years ago, and always asks about loved ones and goals I've mentioned) and client satisfaction is really important to them. After being diagnosed with a chronic pain condition a few years back, Lucy helped even more, with stretching techniques, relaxation tips and deep tissue massage. The staff also offers services like hot stone therapy, Reiki, pregnancy and infant massage, myofascial release and tons more. check them out if you're in pain, or just need to relax. If you're lucky enough to get in to see Lucy, you'll also gain a confidant and a lovely new friend.

Ashiatsu sounded new and different and I gotta tell ya it rocked my world. Nicole is a total pro at what she does. You can tell how an RMT touches you their level of experience. Nicole is the real deal. Her feet worked out kinks , knots and crooks at a deeper level than any other standard massage. I feel like one ashiatsu massage equals 3 regular massages. I was so happy when I left to be free of aches and pains. . I cannot recommend Nicole enough. But good luck getting an appt she is in high demand :)

I have now visited 4 individual Align Massage Therapy Clinics, but gratefully refer to the BANK…read moreSTREET Clinic, as my "home base". I have required regular massage therapy treatment now for several years, and am truly grateful to have found consistent and professional service from the Registered Staff, at ALIGN's BANK STREET Clinic. I'll begin with the basics. The Clinic is clean (an ABSOLUTE requisite), quiet, and professional, with both Mens' and Womens' washroom facilities on location. On line, there are several extremely professional and competent, both male and female RMT's from which to select, for your personal treatment. Depending on the month of the year, booking a last minute treatment may be tricky, however, there is the option of submitting your name onto a waiting list. I've found though, that it's best to schedule a date in advance (and keep it) to ensure your treatment moves forward as planned. There is a cancellation policy fully laid out and explained, however, should you need to cancel your appointment. As expected, respect (with regard to cancellations) ON BOTH SIDES, is commonplace and is appreciated! I require "deep tissue" treatments, for which I am grateful to have found amongst this talented, Registered Staff. Not all RMTs perform this treatment. ALIGN BANK STREET Clinic also offers a multitude of different therapeutic treatments. . The beauty of ALIGN, is that YOU can choose both YOUR treatment style, YOUR personal RMT, and YOUR treatment date. I've attended ALIGN's BANK STREET clinic now for over 12 years. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the services they provide!!!

I always opt for the deep tissue back massage and Aaron is good at finding and relaxing any trigger points I may have. He doesn't talk during the massage, except to ask if the pressure is good. I have been to many clinics where the RMT talks my ear off and I get no relaxation whatsoever, I'm sorry, but I am not in a salon getting my hair cut, I am getting a a massage and trying to take my mind off of things...Please be quiet! Align Massage Therapy have many locations throughout the city. They are definitely worth checking out!
