I've had 20 years of excellent and professional treatment with Melodie at A Hands On Approach. My work requires this and I'm still working like a younger man.

my back was hurting like hell at first, so I got a 60m massage, and now I feel like I'm back in my 20s, truly a 10/10 spot!

I’ve worked with over 20 massage therapists across Kitchener-Waterloo, the GTA, and several cities in China — and Chris is hands down the best. His 30 years of experience truly shine through his work. When I first met Chris, I had been struggling with chronic back pain for nearly three years. After just one session, about 70% of the pain was gone. I knew I had found the right therapist and have been seeing him ever since. If you’re feeling hopeless about chronic pain, give Chris a try. I can’t recommend him enough.

I had an excellent massage here, when I was in bad shape with some chronic-acute neck and other issues. He's very experienced and you can tell; very able to do deep work; and he did a very good job managing time on the areas I requested focus. And he showed real care in making time on a Saturday morning and squeezing me in before his weekend plans - amazing. I've got a fair bit of massage experience, having years ago completed half of Massage Therapist training myself (1,100 hours/1 fulltime year), and having received professional massage from many therapists over the years. Chris has earned his 5-star rating. As a bonus, my 10yo daughter accompanied me and brought a book as she likes to do sometimes, and says he's a really nice guy :)

As a delivery truck driver, my job demands peak physical condition, and my massage therapist ensures I stay in top form month after month. His expertise in addressing the unique strains of offloading and handling heavy loads is unmatched. Highly recommend his services to fellow truckers looking to stay strong and resilient on the job!

Massage therapy is your friend and Chris has talents that will keep you healthy and moving thru your sports, DIY and tech pains..it all starts with your first session. You'll be in great hands!

Melodie is amazing. She is friendly, accommodating and has helped so much with all the muscle pains I have been experiencing. Even after they moved their home business (years ago) I still make the drive to see her even though other therapists are closer.

Chris is great, knows his stuff, can effectively find a troubled muscle and make the pain go away. Always happy to work with your schedule. Their office is clean, modern and a great place for a massage!

I’ve been going to Chris for almost 10 years and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is able to explain the discomfort you’re feeling in a way anyone can understand and how it can be treated. Plus he provides recommendations on how to avoid the issues in the first place by changing habits or posture.

First time there, Chris took my last minute appointment for a sore neck, which he originally had the afternoon off. Excellent massage, feel a lot better, will definitely go back!
