Change the name to Elbows on body massage clinic as this was a more accurate representation of the service provided.
I went for a one hour relaxation massage, but I’m afraid to say the experience was anything but relaxing. While the location is convenient and the store appeared professional and clean, the massage itself was the most painful and uncomfortable massage I have ever experienced. In fairness the masseuse did ask me to tell him if the pressure was too much however, I expected his technique would improve as time went on (it did not). Excluding roughly 5 minutes of moderate pressure effleurage, I estimate that he spent around 80% of the time digging into my traps with his elbow and dragging it down along my spine. Yes I acknowledge that hands do get tired, however performing a relaxation massage predominantly with your forearm and elbow is a lazy and sloppy technique to say the least. The pressure used was excessive, even based on remedial massage standards. Two days later my shoulders are still bruised and tender and in hindsight I now accept that I should have stopped the massage rather than persevering. I seriously question this persons’ skill set and qualifications. I would not recommend unless you have a penchant for torture and self harm and if you do decide to voluntarily subject yourself to this kind of treatment you should seek out a good therapist and learn to love yourself.

I left a message this morning for an appointment at a specific time and was told wasn’t available, however when I said thanks anyway suddenly they could fit me in. I was sceptical as this had happened to me with a prior booking before and I was left waiting. When I arrived today I was left for 20 min after my booking time. This is the 2nd time this has occurred and is extremely frustrating when I could have been told at point of booking that time wasn’t an option. I had been coming here on and off for 3 years but not anymore. If you can’t fit someone in amongst other bookings then don’t. Don’t waste customers time!!

Really really nice experience here!
After tried many massage shops around this area, this shop will be my number one choice forever!
The lady is really professional, she s able to define my painful area by quickly touching and consulting.
And all the pains gone after one hour massage.
strongly recommend:)))

First ever remedial massage for me as an attempt to ease my daily, constant head and neck pain. The lady was so attentive to the tender spots and extremely knowledgeable! So specific and I could tell she really wanted to help with my pain 🥺 Probably did more than my chiros and the three different doctors have ever done for me.

I had many massages before and being new to the area I thought I’d try here..
Very good massage, nice and quiet. Could use my health care too which was awesome.
Highly recommend and I’ll be going back for sure…
