You know when I miss Sonya the most? When I've done a number on myself straining my muscles,…read morepulling things out of shape. It's then that I realize how much better my quality of life is in her care. Not all RMT's are created equal, and in my car accident riddled body, previous high-heel wearing, work sitting state, she's the one out of all of the physiotherapists, chiropractors, naturopaths, and acupuncturists who has been able to claim success in fixing me up. Yes, it can hurt-- but it's that good hurt you feel when you work out and you know it's actually having an impact. Yes, I can leave with risidual pain cursing out of my head from a headache. It's can be side affect from working out some really old pain in my back. As Sonya has told me, our body's are all linked up, so it's not a surprise. At the Pain Pro clinic she works at http://www.yelp.ca/biz/painpro-therapeutics-vancouver-2#hrid:lj22FXAXPhcU1zZoxSSYiw, you also take advantage of a rewards card system and chances to win free massages.

I've received…read moretreatments from a few different RMTs, they've all been excellent, but for the past many many years I've only been booking with Carina. I was sorry to have to leave the RMT I had been seeing before moving to Richmond, but Carina is excellent and made me glad I had to move - she is the best! I feel like brand new with every treatment. The location is wonderful and the place is cozy, charming, and calming.

Yeah, she took me there. Go see Chelsea after you wear your favourite new blouse and some jerk says 'I love it, did you make it yourself?' and when Starbucks is out of Justin's Peanut Butter Cups even though you went there specifically to get some. Chelsea will make you forget that Jon Snow may or may not be dead and that you couldn't get Adele tickets. She'll make you feel like Jake Gyllenhaal laughed at your joke when you ran into him at London Drugs while picking up some developed photos because you still do that occasionally, ok? Anyways. Chelsea, go see her.

Give it a try and you'll know what I mean!

Kristine is an amazing massage therapist…read more.. This women went above and beyond any expectations for me and has totally helped my husband... Hubby came home today saying that lady is AMAZING... Last year my back was so sore I couldn't walk. I called every single massage therapist in the area and either got a message or no answer. Because I was in so much pain I needed an appointment ASAP...which in New West is very difficult to find. I connected with Kristine and told her what was going on for me.. This woman OMG blew my mind. She was fully booked for the day but she kept giving me numbers of other massage therapists I could call to try and get an appointment... most of them I had already called...but some I had not and when I did got no answer or voice mail Knowing how much pain I was in and hearing the desperation in my voice... Kristine moved one of her appointments around to fit me in. Not only was her customer service mind blowing...her massage was amazing... Now she is not an RMT but still so worth checking out...

The massage was ok and the massage therapist was kind, accommodating, and courteous…read more But the receptionist was really loud... almost as if I was walking into a core power studio or a sales environment. The receptionist and a different therapist also complained about a customer no-showing in front of me and another client, saying, "it figures", "no surprise there", etc. The receptionist continued to be loud during the treatment. The walls are thin and the floors creak because it's an old building -- fair enough. But there didn't seem to be any effort to work around this, easy options could be: ask your receptionist to be quieter in general, use white noise machines, choose different music that drowns out the noise of the clinic and busy road, put some carpets down. Overall the environment was lacking: The massage table squeaked and seemed old. It was too short for me at 5'6" to have my head on the bed when I laid on my back. When it was time to turn onto my back, the therapist asked me to put the back of my head in the face cradle. I had to tell them my neck was *really* unsupported, to the point it hurt. The clocks in the treatment rooms were large, bright white LED -- mimicking a neon light style. They shine in your eyes during the treatment. Overall not a comfy or relaxing environment. Don't recommend.

Before I came here, I did a search on Google and found this massage therapy place which had a…read morehigher rating comparing to others in Tri-cities, so I decided to give it a try. I found that they have an online booking system on their website. This is excellent and very convenient! I could choose a time and date that would fit in my schedule, so I did not have to call and ask a receptionist to check on any time slots. I could see all the availabilities online. I was trying to choose a time slot that was after work such as 5:45pm or after 6pm on weeknights. The online system or website shows that they have 10 RMTs. I chose a RMT called Cynthia Gillanders and reserved a time slot online. I did not know her before, but I would just give her a try. When I walked into Inlet Wellness Gallery, the environment was very relaxing, quiet, and comfortable. A receptionist greeted me and asked me to fill out a form, so Inlet Wellness Gallery could know my medical issues and history. Their waiting area or lounge got a beautiful and comfortable couch and chairs with a coffee table. They placed some tea on the coffee table for the customers who were waiting for appointments. This was a very good idea making the customers feel comfortable and relaxed right at the beginning of the process. Cynthia is a very experienced RMT. She double checked with me on my medical issues and history and asked questions to make sure she understood what I needed from her before she started a massage therapy. She was very friendly and kind. She would also chat with me and made sure I felt great (not bored) when she was giving me a massage. Some soft music was on when I did the massage as well. It was very comfortable. After the massage therapy, I paid up front. The receptionist could make the next appointment immediately. An email notification would send out to me right away. They were very efficient! Overall, I had a great experience at Inlet Wellness Gallery. I would definitely come back to do a massage therapy with Cynthia in the near future.

While in town on business, I lucked out and this is where I landed for a much needed massage!!!…read more Admittedly it was several months ago- There is so much negativity and bad in our world, I am really going to make an effort to take the time to look up and write reviews for those deserving people and businesses... The ones who go above and beyond.. This lady was definitely one of those special people. Her positive energy and caring, healing touch definitely enriched my body and mind. What an amazing massage! I suffer with back pain; sometimes worse than others but I'm used to it... After my massage, I went to get something to eat and then back to my hotel- All of a sudden it hit me, I do not have any pain anywhere in my entire body! None! I was blown away- I am not accustomed to being pain free- Thank you for the wonderful Massage, you are a true healer and a gift! *On another note- when I came to your page I was shocked when I glanced and saw you had a one star review- I thought who on earth could find fault with the experience you provide... That individual never even saw you or stepped foot in your business- Just a suggestion, but you might want to contact Yelp and see if it can be put in that bottom category that is still published but doesn't count (Doesn't count because it's NOT possible to review a place where you have never been a patron LOL). The funny part is, when reading their words, it was clear that you went above and beyond to accommodate them! It would have been much easier for you to spout out the most convenient time for you, but instead you took the time to find "the first available" appointment time that would best meet their needs! Smh, some people just don't get that they would literally be happier in life if they made it a priority to build others up and give joy rather than spend their time trying to bring others down to the their level! Thank you again for doing what you do!!!
