Does anyone remember when this was a creepy sex shop with blacked out windows? It's now home to a different type of writhing and many an "oh!" face: RMTs, the nicest people you will ever pay to physically hurt you. I went running three days ago and managed to do something ridiculous to my foot. Because i'm an idiot, I ignored it and went dancing... in heels. Not my proudest moment. You already know the ending: I woke up the next day and come hell or high water, could not stand on my sore foot for more then a few minutes. Enter two excruciatingly boring days on the couch before I called in some outside help. Here's what I know: I picked this place based on the close proximity to my house. All the good stuff is just bonus to the fact that I can be here and face planted on a table within 4 minutes flat. 1. I went online and booked same day, with an hour lead time. 2. It was $60 (tax in) for a 30 minute massage - which isn't "woo woo!" but it's standard. 3. After thirty minutes where Rick pulled, smushed and wiggled some things around (technical terms), and then took the time to grab the ol' text book for a quick knowledge session when I asked how he managed to poke my foot and make my shoulders quake (it was awesome), I left. The only reason ALL of this is awesome: I can stand! On TWO feet! My foot is still sore, but it's dull enough that I can once again resume being a functioning member of society. It's enough that I forgive them for calling themselves Mount Pleasant Massage when they are clearly in Riley Park. Respect the home turf guys! (I jest.) 30 minutes and I CAN do a happy dance again. Enough said. read more

Totally remembered this place as a creepy porn shop many years ago so by association was hesitant to try it. I got over it since it was so close to home due to the great online booking tool which was very convenient and they were open on Saturdays, bonus! I was looking forward to getting my treatment started. I selected a random therapist from their list. First impression: Clean and bright. No one was at the front desk. I arrived 10 min early as their website suggested for new patients. I waited a bit and finally someone came out, he gave me the new patient form to fill in and was very nice and friendly. However, it turns out he is one of the therapists because his patient soon came in and he left to treat her. After that there was no one else at the front, just me sitting there waiting. Several people came in during this time and waited for someone and a few eventually left. During my wait various therapists came out with their patients post treatment and processed their own payments. I think a receptionist would have been helpful. My appointment was booked for 60 min and my therapist was running 15 min late by the time she came out with her patient. After their chit chat and payment processing it was closer to 20 min into my appointment before she acknowledged me and said sorry, she was running a bit late...including the 10 min early arrival I had been waiting for 30 min! Overall treatment was okay. I have had better. Unfortunately, the first impressions will not have me going back. read more

I always come here for a massage after my night shift. My RMT is Rick and he is very good and attentive. The place looks newly furnished, nice and clean with TV and a fake fireplace in the waiting room. The rooms also look well presented. A massage for 60 mins is 100$ which pretty much is the market price. Parking available around the area. read more

Just what the doctor ordered - a perfect and well performed massage by Aimee, my back, shoulders & neck thank you so much as this sort of attention is what my aching body was craving as she delivers the best total body massages ever... Aimee has been my massage therapist for over 5 years. Its so hard to find a great masseuse, and I am very grateful for knowing her. This newly opened therapeutic clinic has a true feel of vitality. They also offer Chiropractic and registered clinical counseling services. On the corner of Main/16th. Aimee an RMT, is young, bright and very well schooled it many areas of therapeutic bodywork. I am very picky with who is going to work on unleashing the pain that I have built up within, and she without a doubt knows her stuff. She is super friendly with a special soft energy that just allows you to relax and always takes the time to ask questions prior to each treatment and with that knows how to heal my issues. read more

Mount Pleasant Massage Therapy is a pleasant place to be. I have tried a total of 6 different massage clinics, so I feel like I have a decent perspective on what to expect. My RMT was professional, attentive, and did a great job. The facilities were clean, if a tad bit sterile. The waiting room feels like a doctor's office as it is brightly lit. Unfortunately, this is not exactly lending to the relaxing experience one would hope for. The prices are all about $10 more than I'm used to paying, but I feel like it's worth it. If Mount Pleasant would consider a more homey, dimly-lit, and welcoming foyer I would change this to a 5-star rating! read more

This whole area's just hopping. Well, with the amount of time being on the road, a bit refreshing to avoid dt traffic/parking but also shop local but I digress. Originally came in here for my annual chiropractor checkup but my body got a bit greedy, and went for the RMT. Plus the fact that Rick was a professional and not to sound homophobic, didn't seem overpowering lol. Just that I prefer feminine hands touching my skin, and besides, couldn't imagine any male with rough hands in this profession but I digress once more. Come to think of it, ihe's probably the 1st ever RMT but I really have to digress!!! Appreciate him asking which areas and the pressure, he eventually did apply better pressure on the shoulders and trapezoids. But the real bonus star is their computer system allows to check whether your insurance provider permits services, depending on one's benefits plan. Wasn't sure how much I had left so just gave him my card, he scanned it and do offer direct billing so cool, just paid $10, out of $100. Yes, they accept walk-in's. Spacious rooms. Quite a big clinic in general, with a comfy 6-seat waiting area. Will be back. read more

Not great and the therapist cut my appointment short. Almost clinical and cold.

Ooops! I made an appointment online which worked great - then went to the wrong therapy centre! Was waiting in the lobby of the Massage and Therapy centre on 11th and Main (where no one greeted me or acknowledge my presence) when my phone went off and it was the therapist I made the appointment with asking me where I was. Anyway this place is just 5 blocks from the other, when I arrived I got no slack, luckily the therapist had time to fit me in at the later time. They get four stars because of the way I was dealt with, I am big on service and for messing up I felt I was dealt with fairly. Oh - and the massage! I believe Genevieve was her name, but she was great, went a bit deep tissue but never pushed too much. Had to make a sudden appointment because my shoulder and next were just paining me. Will I go back? Yes. Am I glad I booked at the wrong place? Yes. Would I recommend? Yes. read more

Very disappointing experience. Explained before we started to the RMT that I was injured in my back and hip and I needed a gentle massage. She immediately used her elbows to apply far too much pressure. I asked repeatedly for her to lighten up, yet she consistently returned to using deep pressure with her elbows, which - while it is easier for the therapist, in the long run, makes it very difficult for the therapist to apply gentle pressure. I could barely move or put my clothes back on after the session because I was in far more pain than when I arrived and wound up crying in the room trying to get dressed. She saw me upset and in pain as I came out and had very little concern or response, making it clear that she was rushed to get to the next client. I should have stopped the whole session early, rather than leaving having paid to be in more pain. read more

Aimee is AMAZING!! The best massage I've had in a while. She's always prompt with appointments and cheerful to boot. I highly recommend her :D read more

The reception was initially super unprofessional. The woman up front asked me if I was someone else instead of if I had an appointment and went on calling this other woman's name out. When it came to time for my appointment my RMT sat on the bed and asked what I was in for and hardly referred to the form I had just spent time filling out. The massage itself was was ok but there was more time spent making small talk with me than focussing on my issues I came in to deal with. At the end i received no feed back, no suggestions of exercises to do at home and no attempt to schedule me for another appointment. I left feeling zero relief from what I came in for so I will definitely not be going back. read more

Genevieve gave me the best message i ever had. She is awesome and her techniques were quite different and more relaxing than any other that I have been to. I would have given them 5 stars if their office was a little more relaxing and less noisy. It is absolutely clean and comfortable. But, you can hear everything going on in the reception while being massaged which is not exactly what you want. But, 5 STARS TO Genevieve read more

Book an appointment with Ben and give him all of your money. He is an incredible RMT. Parking is easy, facilities are clean. Music is great and he knows what he's doing. read more

I've started getting massages at Mount Pleasant Massage Therapy with Ben Kobayashi about a month ago and I am really impressed. I've suffered from chronic pain in my neck and back for over a decade, and have seen numerous chiropractors, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and massage therapists. My gripe with a lot of massage therapy is that it often tends ends up being a "relaxation" massage, which, while nice, is not what you're looking for when you're trying to manage pain, or receive more of a 'medical' or 'sports' massage. While I'm sure Ben could offer massage therapy in the relaxation realm, he's very knowledgeable about the structure of the musculoskeletal system, and has an intuitive sense of where the problem areas are. In my case, he combined deep tissue massage and a type of stretching with pressure to get at some underlying issues that no one else seems to have caught on to. My back feels better than it has in a very long time. I've been recommending to anyone who asks :). read more

Fantastic experience. Aimée is knowledgeable and a great RMT. I've had sporadic therapy over the years but this has been the best so far. I told her the areas that are bothering me and she was able to get a read on the causes quite quickly. Left my last appointment feeling better. read more

I have had over 6 massage sessions with Genevieve since about Sept 2013. She is a great RMT. She questions me about what issues and work I want her to focus on for each session. I mainly have shoulder and elbow pain from keyboard work, but she has also worked to break down scarring from a broken ankle and also fascia work on a stitch in my side that comes and goes when running. She does not exaggerate the possible outcomes of the treatments, but is very realistic. I have always felt a benefit after treatments. The office if very clean and pleasant. I find the online booking to be easy and accessible. I highly recommend Genevieve and Mount Pleasant Massage Therapy. read more

I have been going to Aimee for massage therapy for several years now and not only is she the most consistently effective therapist I've seen but she has an especially intuitive touch and has been able to diagnose problems before my doctor was able to do so. (Later these diagnoses were confirmed by the doctor.) This has given me confidence in her judgement and an appreciation for her abilities. read more

I'm not one to post a bad customer experience but this ZERO star review should be read. I had a bad experience here today when my $95 relaxation massage turned into a story telling hour from my hungover "RMT". I was so upset that my husband took the time to speak with the owner Ben Kobayashi about it a few hours later. Lukas asked if Ben was willing to do anything to rectify the unfortunate experience; he flat out said there was nothing he could do. Their discussion continued and in Ben's 8 years of being an RMT he has never had a bad customer experience, and if someone did have one, they just didn't go back to him. Then the un-thinkable happened "Click", yes the owner of a new business in our neighborhood hung up on him. After paying $95 for a below par massage and Lukas finding the time to discuss my less then mediocre "treatment" with the owner that is what happened. Is that even possible in todays world of customer service Mount Pleasant Massage Therapy? read more
