| - This place never disappoints. I always leave feeling like the weight of the world has been lifted from me. If only I can afford for RMT on a weekly basis... =)
When I spent time in California years ago, I was introduced to a spa and was all bothered about being able to find a place I'd like when I came back to Canada. I was told I was crazy and that RMTs in Canada are amazing! And that's when my search began...it was a short search though. This place didn't have very many reviews in 2013 (and I think it still doesnt because it should have like several hundreds of 4-5 star reviews, if you were to ask me). It still had good enough reviews for me to try it. I came in, with my usual tightness in the neck and shoulder area & soreness in the lower back problems. And the therapist at the time (Kristyn) worked out all the kinks. She did such an amazing job that I didn't need to continue my search. For the next year, I would come back here on a semi-regular basis...never fully appreciating that I should come here more regularly.
Then I moved back to the USA for two years...It took me forever to find a place where there was a LMBT that I liked. It was during this time that I realized and appreciated that regular MT is very very important.
So when I moved back to Toronto again this year, I thought, hmmm, I should go back to Toronto Bodyworks! What I found: A) They've moved and they've expanded to a second location apparently. The new place on Duncan is NICE! I really like it. B) It looks like they offer Yoga classes now too.
I went in this weekend and Grace was my RMT this time. What I received was very nice and consistent pressure. I get the feeling that she can apply even more if she wanted...though what she applied might have been at the edge of my tolerance. Not only that but afterwards we talked about what I might be doing that's causing my body to be tight, sore or inflamed in different spots. She showed me some exercises/stretches that I should do at home. Sure enough one of them I couldn't do on one side of the body, which suggests to me that in fact I have been compensating for an injury and thus the pain on the other side...sigh. She was really helpful in teaching me other things I could do.
Overall, the space is now much larger. It's very nice, I really like the space. More imporantly, the therapists are great (though I should note that I've only had appointments with Kristyn and Grace; but I have no reason to believe the others aren't as great). I highly recommend coming here!
