“I was truly impressed by my RMT Mitchell Budd who treated my piriformis pain. During the one-hour session, he focused precisely on the affected area, paying close attention to every detail. I could really feel the strength and professionalism in his technique — he’s truly dedicated to his work. I highly recommend him.”Read moreShow less

“I’ve been having massages with Brendan for almost a year now, usually twice a month, and he’s honestly amazing. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I used to have constant tension in my shoulders and neck. Since I started seeing him, that pressure has eased so much — I always leave feeling lighter, more relaxed, and ready to take on the week. Brendan is always on time, professional, and really pays attention to the details. He remembers which areas need extra focus and adjusts every session without me even having to ask. His calm, focused approach makes every massage feel consistent, restorative, and genuinely tailored to what my body needs. If you want a skilled, reliable massage therapist who truly cares about helping you feel better, Brendan is the one to see.”Read moreShow less

“Don’t go here unless if you want your back to be hurting more than when you got here after the appointment I was not able to touch my toes or even put my shoes on at that Hello and I went to Knead registered massage therapy to hopefully relieve my lower back, and upper back. And When Arrived to the appointment , First thing I noticed is they didn’t bother to ask you any serious questions as in they didn’t ask how the pain in general was and where it starts with to figure out where the pain is and to get to know the patient in general. When I was filling out the forms it felt like they were really rushy. That’s the one thing that I really didn’t like. And when I went downstairs to the massage table, the lady seemed shy, but overall she was awesome . But the one thing that slightly gets me is when I arrived to the appointment And when I was taking my hoodie off Before the actual Appointment I was able to somewhat touch my toes . And then right after Massage appointment I was definitely not able to bend down whatsoever ( ( ( AND RIGHT AFTER I WAS NOT AT ALL POSSIBLE TO PUT MY SHOES ON ) ) ). That’s the one thing that really pissed me off and To be honest, it felt a little worse from when I arrived. Overall, I don’t think $85 is worth it, I feel like it’s a rip off The thing that gets me is they didn’t even bother to ask any serious questions As in they didn’t ask where the pain is how painful it is in general you would they would work so they could figure out where to start and how painful in general, Like I said, in general overall The lady was nice, but in my eyes, she was shy Nothing bad about that. It’s just in general none of them ever bothered to ask any serious questions. And you would think when you arrive at an appointment Whoever is doing the massage with think to ask a few questions before starting They did not bother”Read moreShow less

“As an ICBC no fault insurance claimant I am entitled to massage. I chose Knead as it's within 5 km of my home. Very lucky I did! Reception has worked with me to schedule appointments, as I have multiple therapies every week. I have had wonderful RMTs. Mitchell has worked with me most. He listens, is compassionate, is knowledgeable, is more than competent, and has been careful as I have had concussion and deep tissue injuries he has had to work around. Thank you Mitchell! Rahim I have had a cranio sacral massage from. It works. I left that session feeling balanced. I have booked for another to reinforce the first. Sarah I have only had one session with, but after Mitchell leaves I will be happy to continue with her. Lovely demeanor and very competent and understanding. I strongly recommend this company.”Read moreShow less

“I appreciate the reception services for booking in advance plus taking care of my insurance direct billing. The RMT options are great. I rebook with a couple of different people depending on my schedule. The availability of appointments is a huge bonus. As a cyclist the secure bike rack adds to the health focus 👍”Read moreShow less

“Friendly office staff. I have regular appointments with ND Dr ManYee Yeung, my favorite ND, for the past 3 years. She is passionate about keeping your body healthy together with you. She always has great advice, and we collaborate well. She is my to go to health provider and understands my needs and preferences and lifestyle, wisdom my BC physician is unfortunately lacking... And despite I moved away, I am keeping Dr. Yeung, she truly cares about me. #grateful”Read moreShow less
