Shhh! Pls don’t tell TOO many people that Michael is the best massage therapist in Ottawa because then it’ll be harder for me to book an appointment! But seriously, I’ve been seeing Michael for 4 years and he fixes deep issues and then shows me the best exercises to help myself in between treatments. And never judges me for not doing said exercises ;) PS His head/neck/shoulder massage talent is on point! He’s just the best.

I've seen Leah several times and not only is she a great rmt, she respects that I don't like to talk much during my appointment. At other places, I've found that the rmt's are a bit too talkative for an introvert like me, but Leah respects that I thrive in silence.

I was fortunate to get an appointment with Chris as he was quite thorough and skilled. From the assessment until the aftercare, I felt well-taken care of all the way through. Courteous, friendly and very professional.

Ever since my first visit the word I would use to describe Michael is an artist. I couldn’t recommend him or his team more! I always feel so much better after a massage appointment with him and I really feel like he values your time.

Excellent experience having Michael Pomerleau as my therapist. He is extremely knowledgeable about how muscles hold tension and he did an amazing job during my 90 minute session. Give this place a try if you are looking for high quality massage. The space was very clean and had relaxing background music.

I recently visited this clinic for the first time and had a great experience. First off, the clinic was easy to find and was very clean. I was greeted warmly by my therapist, who was very friendly and professional. My therapist was incredibly skilled, attentive, and took the time to understand my concerns and focused on the areas where I needed the most relief. The massage itself was one of the best I've ever had. I also appreciated that they used a heated bed, which added to the overall experience as I often get cold. I highly recommend Poised to anyone looking for a professional and effective massage therapy clinic. I'll definitely be returning!

I will start with the good which is that I didn't have difficulty finding the location, and the clinic was very clean. The price also felt reasonable to me when I booked the appointment. With that being said, I felt very uncomfortable throughout my appointment. The massage therapist took almost every opportunity to speak about Jesus, the Bible, and religion, which I didn't feel was particularly appropriate. For example, I shared how I loved to study in the library. He told me the only thing he liked to study was the Holy Scriptures and asked me if there were any passages from the Bible that I liked. I awkwardly laughed and said "No, I've never read the Bible" and he continued to talk about how inspiring it is to read the New Testament because he is getting to read the word of God. Or at one point, I joked about how it felt unfair that, as someone in their early 20s, I was experiencing this much neck pain. He then comments on how "we are not all made right" which is why believes in eternal salvation in Heaven. And I'm sure he didn't mean it like that, but as a gay man, that kind of rhetoric has historically been used against us. The guy seemed very sweet and genuine, but I feel like there is a time and place. I felt like I spent 120$ for someone to preach at me. And the cherry on top is that I felt very little relief from the massage itself. The rest of the reviews are positive, so maybe I got unlucky, but I figured I should share my experience.

Drove 45 minutes from home to try Poised Massage for a prenatal massage. Massage time was 1120, arrived at 1105 and the building was dark, no one anatomy the phone inside despite opening hours being 10am. I waited 20 minutes, still no one showed up. I called multiple times. Left a message the last time to let them know I had been waiting and to ensure that I wouldn't be charged a cancelation fee for them not showing up and left. Recieved a call a few minutes later stating that there had been car trouble and I wouldn't be charged. Nothing about coming in for the massage at that time, nothing about any sort of compensation on a future massage to make up for my hour of wasted time. Will not be trying again.

🛑 try it out 🛑 what this place lacks in size, it makes it up in the quality of service and care! Not a chain massage place, owner run massage therapy office! Once you leave here you’ll feel relaxed and wanting to book a second appointment! Give it a chance! I did and I don’t regret it!

Had the most wonderful massage at Poised this week and will absolutely be going back. The vibe is very calming, and it’s a small space that feels cozy and comforting. Ricky was so, so friendly and professional. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire massage, and I’m not entirely sure he isn’t a wizard! I left feeling like Gumby! Two entrances; one on Richmond and the other on Danforth. Plenty of parking, though I do suggest going in the evening for more parking spots! Thank you for a wonderful massage!
