Mike was not first professional I saw, but he was the last! Over the course of my wait to see Mike. I saw two doctors, a massage therapist, a physio, chiropractor, and had a CT scan. Within 5 minutes of meeting Mike he told me everything they had told me and more - without all the radiation. Mike was honest, sincerer, and professional. He spelled out how the next few months of recovery would be, what I could expect, and kept detailed and quantifiable measurements and notes! Your search is over! I would recommend my mom, dad or brother to go to Mike before anyone else! I injured my back over a year ago now and would not be where I am now without him- Perfectly healthy. read more

I'm absolutely thrilled with my sessions at Electra Health under Alexander Ledenev care. As a professional therapist, he pinpointed my issues and showed me simple stretching exercises that have significantly relieved my back and neck pain, I noticed a huge difference right after my 2nd session. I never skip a session with Alex--he is an amazing rehabilitator. Highly recommended! read more

We rarely take the time to write a praise and I would like to defy this unfortunate habit. I am a regular client at Electra Health for already several years. The environment is very pleasant, welcoming and every receptionist I met there was kind and friendly. However, my biggest praise goes to Igor. My regular treatments with Igor are truly a highlight of the month. I wouldn't call it simply a massage because it wouldn't do a justice to the all encompassing feeling of well-being. Igor's tremendous knowledge and experience is only one side of the story. He is professional and warm, polite and kind and in combination with his skills to treat your body with knowledge and respect you are guaranteed to feel like a new-born. My sincere thanks to Igor for making my back and my muscles feeling younger than my years. read more

Cole Majoros is the only RMT I have found who has expertise in trigger point massage therapy to relieve acute shoulder pain. He knows about 'frozen shoulder' and without his expertise I would likely still be disabled and in acute pain. His skills are priceless, he will restore in you the belief that you will get well and be pain free again. This guy changes lives! read more

I received a magical massage from Eliza. She did a thorough verbal assessment before the massage and then was very attentive to everything we talked about. She worked out all the kinks in my body and gave me a plan for going forward. I wish I found her years ago! read more

Electra Health - Magical massage from Eliza. - Acupuncture Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I thought I got punked when I met my Electra "Health" masseuse . Not what you would imagine health wise . Plus had none of my information regarding visit. Complete waste of time , don't waste yours either. read more

Cole Majoros, RMT. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have met Cole. I have worked with several RMTs in the past and he is by far the best. I came to Cole with a chronic neck, upper back and arm problem that was literally waking me up at night and had me in tears. I tried accupunture, osteopathy and another RMT to no avail. Cole's expertise has made all the difference. I no longer suffer from that pain and have regained the mobility I thought I would never get back. Cole engages you in the therapy and works with you - and most importantly he listens to your feedback. If you are in search of an RMT who can help you with issues nobody else has been able to solve, I highly recommend Cole. read more

I've been going to Electra for massage therapy for a couple of years now. During the course of my time there, I have been to several registered massage therapists (RMT). A few have been outstanding, and a couple have been terrible. I don't like the technique certain RMTs use where there is pulling, stretching and pinching. I prefer a good, deep massage that hits all the pressure points and provides some relief. Sadly, not all the RMTs there can deliver on this approach. I will continue to go to Electra, just need to make an appointment well in advance for my preferred RMT as it seems they are always booked at least a week or two in advance. A bonus there is that you can actually book online - you can see the schedule for each RMT and choose your time accordingly. They will also email you the information once you have booked. Very convenient! They have weekend and evening hours as well, which is a bonus for my schedule. (this is the reason for my 4-star rating) read more

Aches and pains? Look no further! Irina is an RMT with an osteopathic approach that works wonders! She is extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, efficient and kind. Irina works flexible hours and has helped me so much during my pregnancy and now postpartum. I take my baby in for treatments; he loves her and the massage! read more

I was referred by a friend to Electra and it was the best recommendation ever! I exclusively see Doina P and she is amazing! Every single RMT visit has been so therapeutic. She is super understanding, accommodating and her attention to detail is on point. She always makes me feel valued and most of all, makes me feel my best after each session! I will continue to support her and her amazing talents. read more

Had my first exprience today and it was Ah-maziiing! I've had shoulder pain for a few months, tried stretches,massages but it just didn't seem to get better. So I yelped and found this place and based on the reviews decided to give it a try. A lot of people had recommended Stephen Clark and I am so happy I read the reviews and chose him. He definitely knows his stuff and my shoulder is pain free after just one session! He also shows you how to effectively do some stretches at home to help the healing process. Price point: Yes it is expensive for a student to pay 120$/hr but it was worth every penny! This review is only based on service (oh forgot to mention the receptionist was very nice and helpful as well). I only wished the place was a bit more polished, for 120 bucks I was expecting the place had a more luxurious feel to it. read more

The past 3 months, after being hit by a car, has had me exclusively being treated at Electra Health. They have all the health disciplines under one umbrella - and are totally icbc compatible. From the reception to the assessments, through treatments - every step of the way was comfortable and professional. Only once was I uncomfortable with a treatment, but was easily able to book with another professional with absolutely no pressure or questions asked. I would totally recommend this rehabilitation facility to any friend. read more

I came here because my back was killing me, and I was needing a massage ASAP. This was the only place that I could get into at the last minute. Nice central location, easily accessible by Skytrain. The massage itself was nothing to write home about in terms of quality. I was quite upset that the therapist ran 10 minutes late, and didn't acknowledge the delay in any way, then at the end of my massage, I found that she finished the massage early. So not only did my massage start late, she also finished early before the hour was even up. I was livid by the end of this, and will never return again. All this, and the massage isn't even cheap ($115/hr). No thanks. read more

Eliza Regenyi is my RMT at Electra Health and she is consistently excellent. She treats both acute and chronic injuries that I have incurred via my active lifestyle and she's highly committed to ensuring her patient's feel heard and that their problems get resolved over the course of their visits. She always shows professionalism, skill and knowledge in her work. I highly recommend her! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The first time I went was fine. My second appointment was only available for 6 weeks later and of course, I forgot about it. Sure that's my fault but with other providers, I go to, I get a phone call 24 hours before or at least an automated text message. In this case, I had an email sent to me which unfortunately went into my spam folder. I realized 30 mins before my appointment and tried to call the office to see what I should do. Went to voicemail. I received a callback after my appointment had started to advise me that there was no chance of a reschedule and would have to pay the full sum whether I arrive or not. So I rushed in and received 30 mins of my 60 min appointment at full price, leaving me very disappointed with the experience. I realize this was my fault for not making a calendar reminder but the response to my situation clearly demonstrated that they were just interested in my money and reacted defensively rather than trying to retain a customer relationship. If you are organized enough to not need reminders and are just looking for effective practitioners in a spa-like setting, this place works. In my case, I rather see practitioners who care a bit more about their clients. read more

I love living in Canada. This American is impressed with the health care system here. Massages are part of our medical plan. What more can I say. In comes Electra Health Floor. We were able to book a last minute massage. The receptionist was very efficient and friendly. The massage rooms were clean. I had Pam Dhillon, who worked off about 2 years of knots and kinks in my shoulders and neck in 60 minutes. My partner had Romi Topper, who did some amazing body stretching for him. Massage Therapy in Canada feels less" hippie" and "alternative," more professionalized. For example, all therapists are "R.M.T.'s" - Registered Massage Therapists. Maybe that's why health insurance covers it? It's more seen as a health benefit, rather than something just to "feel good." There are also physiotherapists, acupuncturists, naturopaths, and bunch of other therapies available. read more

I have been beyond impressed and humbled by the level of service and attention I have received from mark and the entire Electra health floor team. I called them on December 22nd with a serious case of sciatica. While the owner mark does not practice anymore, he still met me within 48 hours on the eve of Christmas holidays...talk about personalize service. He diagnosed me by doing a full check up and stretched the effected area and prescribed me few stretches to do at home. In the meanwhile He put me in touch with practitioners he felt would most benefit me. Considering My terrible experience with Gastown physio and Pilates, I was immidietly blown away by the level of attention I received from the initial phone call. This was the first time that I felt I was in good hands...there were no pressure or dramatization of my condition. If you are living with any kind of muscular skeleton pain, you know how debilitating and frustrating it is on your life...and I am absolutely in debted to mark and his team for giving me my life back. Like most of us I mostly enjoyed reading peoples feed backs than writing my own, but this experience has inspired me for the first time to write a review for what I believe was and is the best wellness centre I have experienced in Vancouver. I'm so confident at the core principals of the management of this establishment that I AM willing to guarantee that you will be dealt with ethics and care. I am now pain free, active, and enjoying my life again...thank you mark...no amount of money will justify what you did for me...I wish you and your team nothing but success...you have my vote for life. read more

Apparently I have a lot of knots and kinks near my shoulders, neck and back so I've been RMT-shopping and doing a lot of research reading upon reviews to see who is worth seeing. I've only been to an RMT 3 times; the first visit was at a place on Broadway and first, it was inconvenient for parking and secondly, the RMT wasn't doing a lot of deep tissue massages even when I specified. I told her that she could kill the knots on my neck because they were a "pain in the neck" (ha.ha.ha. Okay, lame joke). Anyway, my second visit I decided to switch to Electra Health floor but the RMT that I wanted didn't happen to work on the day I needed to see her so I randomly chose someone. Bad choice. A part of her description was that she does deep tissue but I felt like she wasn't strong enough even though I explicitly stated that "please kill those knots; don't be afraid to put a lot of pressure...trust me, I can handle it." Even with that, she wasn't seem to be killing those knots like the way I would expect her to. I went home and looked at the original RMT that I wanted: Tanya (there is a biography of each RMT, tells you their background, their activities). I thought Tanya would understand how my painful back, shoulders, lats, neck, etc as she was a runner and was quite active like I was. I booked an appointment with her and let me tell you the 3rd time was the charm. She nailed all my knots and really killed them. When I walked out of that clinic, I was a NEW person. She made my day. I highly recommend Tanya if you have back pain, tensed muscles and shoulders, neck pain and frequent headaches. She will DESTROY all of that. It's $96 per hour. Too bad I don't have company benefits. If I did, I would want to visit her at least 2-3 times a month. read more

Terrible experience with my therapist I didn't get a full massage where as my husband did. Also too expensive for my taste even with benefits. She did get some good areas of issue for me but also too much talking to wasn't as relaxed as I would of liked I won't be back sorry to say. Also found the receptionist could of been a lot friendlier too. read more

100% satisfied with my sessions with Gabby at Electra Health. Gabby is a professional kinesiologist who was able to diagnose and teach me easy stretching excercises that helped with my injuries and pain alot. I was honestly in doubt if her classes would work for pains I was suffering after the accident, but amazingly I was able to see my pains got eased and was feeling better immediately after the first session with her. Now I never miss my session with Gabby. She is a great rehabilitator. Definitely recommended! read more

I am a fitness instructor, and have perpetually achy and overworked muscles. Last week I went to Marina for my first massage in way too long. I don't usually enjoy massage as much as others seem to, as I often find the pressure too intense. Marina was very professional and courteous. She checks in with you regularly on how the pressure is feeling to you, and adjusts accordingly. The rooms are clean, the location convenient, the receptionists are friendly. I highly recommend this clinic. read more

My buddy recommended this place to me. And once you go Electra you never go back! I've been seeing Lyrica for more than half a year now, and she always welcomes me with a big smile. The most important thing she does is that she listens. Doesn't matter if I am looking for a deep tissue massage (yes, sometimes I bite the bullet) or am just looking to relax, she does her best! And she is really good! I always feel rejuvenated after! My most-of-the-time over used muscles thank her very much! read more

Ricce (? Spelling) was a great RMT. I went in with a sore back and stiff neck and after she worked on me I felt loose and relaxed. Thank you! read more

I have been seeing my RMT, Mike Dixon, for a few years now. He is excellent at what he does and is always able to find and treat my troubled spots, even when I didn't even know they existed. I initially saw him for TMJ treatment. My dental hygienist recommended an RMT who was not taking any more patients. That RMT sent me the contact information for two RMTs in downtown. Her enthusiasm at mentioning Mike's name (via text message) convinced me to book an appointment with him, even though I thought I would have preferred a female RMT. The rest is history. I have strongly recommended Mike to friends, colleagues, and family, and they are now all his fans as well. He has helped me with neck, back, and shoulder pain, TMJ, as well as hip and pelvic misalignment (who knew that walking too much could be a bad thing?). For TMJ treatment, he does inter-oral work (using his [gloved] fingers to manipulate muscles in your mouth), which sounds a bit crazy but is actually extremely effective at relieving tension and pain in your jaw. Mike is very caring, kind, and knowledgeable, and I am so happy to have found someone whom I can trust to fix me. He also teaches massage therapy at Vancouver Career College, so he works at the Electra Health Floor a few times a week. Staff are great. They once fit me in last minute to see a practitioner while Mike was on holidays. I like using their online booking system to make and manage my appointments. They take credit cards and email you a receipt upon payment, which helps me keep paperless and organized. Summary: Mike Dixon is the best! :) read more

I enjoy the RMT services at the Electra Health Floor. I make my bookings online. I have seen Suzette, who is good but lately I have been seeing Marina is terrific. She really works at those tense areas and checks in with you to see if she is applying too much pressure. She is definitely strong! The rooms are spacious and clean. Relaxing music is played during the session however you can still overhear noises from outside the room. It is not a spa environment but it does the job! I would recommend this place for RMT. read more

Best massage I've ever had. Hands down. Came here for the first time yesterday, and all I have to say is WOW. I was booked with Ben, and he gave me quite possibly the best massage experience I've ever had. He took the time to really ask what was hurting, and explained things to me so I could understand. He gave me a few stretches to do at home for my lower back with have really helped a lot. My hour long massage was the first hour of relief that I have had from my lower back pain for a while. Will DEFINATELY be calling this place my new massage home. read more

I agree with Jocelyn B.: Mike Dixon is the best! The instructors at my gym recommended another therapist at Electra when I told them about my problems. They all swore up and down that Tanya was the best RMT ever. I checked her out online...but found that Mike specialized in treating nerve issues, and that he had a compression table, so I booked in with him instead. Booking an appointment was easy peasy. Done online in a few clicks. My first appointment was at their Burrard Street location. The facilities were clean and welcoming. My other appointments were at the YWCA. Their offices are smaller, but just as clean and comfortable. Within a few minutes, I could tell that Mike knew what he was doing. He zoned in on my problem (meralgia parethetica, in case you're wondering - it's kind of like sciatica) right away. He assessed my leg length and stretched out my tight muscles for me. Given my issue, I didn't get a traditional massage...but what he did was way more valuable in the long run. Until him, I had seen countless other RMTs who, truth be told, clearly did not know what they were dealing with. So if you have a nerve issue, SEE MIKE. Ultimately, with his help, and the help of my chiro, I was able to get rid of the pain that was driving me crazy. I am so grateful for his help. read more

I have had MANY massages MANY places! The RMT was Romi he was not bad but the pressure was to much considering I was really in pain when I arrived and asked him twice to ease up. The reason for the low rating though was not based on the massage alone. It is more about the DOG in the reception area. I do realize that it is a service dog but I have extreme allergies to dogs!! The dog was not servicing anyone that I saw at that particular time and was free to roam around. He came directly over to me and I wasn't sure how to get rid of it without causing a scene! So, I spent the rest of the day with puffy, watery eyes and sneezing which made my back hurt even more! lol It would have been nice if the dog was kept away from the patients I certainly didn't think to ask in a clinical environment if any animals would be present. Live and learn! read more

This is a clinic which has multiple practitioners from a variety of health disciplines. While some practitioners are very good, and they have an astute booking policy there -the ratio of good to bad practitioners is stark. Half very good, and half ineffective. particular acupuncturist, one 'Rudy Lee' . He acted in an inappropriate manner on my treatment last December.(Hands going where they shouldn't go on multiple occasions). My interactions with the clinic regarding this incident has not been satisfactory, and I am awaiting the results of an investigation by the Acupuncturist overseeing body. Other therapists. Jessica Zerr is another acupuncturist. She uses 'cupping' a widely rejected form of quack therapy. Aghar Al-Qusus is ineffective at Kinesiology, and more importantly has poor hygiene. Reem Manna as a physiotherapist (on multiple occasions) appeared lazy and uninterested. Eliza Regenyi; while an effective therapist, violated our confidentiality to other therapists and outside parties. A serious concern. Fiona Matalan , a counselor there violated our confidentiality and I will be following up with that. read more

About 8 months ago, I had a constant pain in my side from abdominal scarring that I got from past surgeries. After visiting my family Dr, I was told that nothing could be done to relive the pain and that I would have to "live with it". I couldn't settle for that answer so I did some research and found out that massage could be quite helpful. I decided to book an appointment specifically with Heidi Joy Brown at Electra Health Floor Clinic, because she had a background in myofascial release, and research told me that style was good for scar tissue pain. After only one appointment, I had immediate relief and my pains quickly subsided. I was so thrilled with her treatment. The pains from the scarring still occur from time to time, but no where as intense and painful, as they once were. And when they do come back, I know who to call. I highly recommend Heidi, as she is so knowledgeable in her skills and made me feel extremely comfortable in the session. She took the time to explain things and offered some stretches I could do at home. As well she plays great music! Additionally the clinic is in a convenient location and the receptionists are professional and courteous. All around great experience. read more

I have just picked my RMT's depending on availability but that was before I discovered Ben Ngui. Hands down the best massage I have ever had (and I have been going for massage for years). Knows exactly what he is doing. Would highly recommend him. read more

I've seen Heidi Joy Brown twice now and couldn't be more impressed with her talent, skill and professionalism. I'm training for a half marathon and have been acquiring the requisite aches, pains and tightness in my muscles. Heidi listened to me, assessed my issues before I was on the table and once I was, went straight to work, zeroing in on the areas causing me the most pain and discomfort. She checked in just enough to make sure I was comfortable and gave me space to breathe and relax too. After my first treatment with her I ran a personal best and after my second I felt some truly profound changes in my body (for the better). I've had massages that have left me feeling peaceful and rested but I've never been left with the lasting sensation of being "healed" that I get after seeing Heidi. She's truly gifted! Bonus points for a bright, clean space, lovely receptionists, friendly pups and not playing the usual nature sounds or ambiguously ethnic muzak... :-) Highly recommended! read more

This review is for Dr. Laura Gronkjaer's chiropractic care and not for the Electra Health Floor as a whole. Having moved around quite a bit these past few years, I've experienced my fair share of chiropractors, some good and some terrible. Dr. Gronkjaer is definitely one of the better ones me and my family have received care from. She's kind and skilled, and more gentle with her treatments than the usual forceful adjustments some chiropractors rely on. She has helped my partner with lower back problems and reduced my headaches. Unfortunately circumstances have led us to move again and I will sure miss being treated by Dr. Gronkjear. read more

One of the best spots of registered massage spots downtown, nothing too fancy or Spa like extras, but very nice comfortable rooms, with some of the best therapists I've visited. I've seen both Glen and Kelly, Glen is very good if you're looking for deep massage but might be a bit too much if you don't like deep, Kelly was amazing too getting into spots to get rid of my upper back pain. Highly recommended, they're $5-10 more than some other spots for an hr massage, but to me it's worth it. read more

After a nasty collision by a charging dog (not vicious - just blindsided), I was in a lot of discomfort (head, neck, shoulders). Sue Caithness was able to fit me into her schedule and concentrating on the areas that needed the most care. After the massage, she outlined what I should be looking for, and what stretches would alleviate any further discomfort. I left feeling not only better, but more confident (odd reaction I know, but I was feeling pretty vulnerable after the collision). Anyway, I highly recommend Sue as a practitioner ... and I highly recommend a heightened sense of awareness at the local dog park!! read more

Went to electra health floor because pain in my shoulder and discomfort on my neck, mostly because bad posture at work I believe. Dr Laura Gronkjaer was very kind and professional. She did a series of exams to check if I wasn't having any neurological issues since the discomfort was very close to the skull base. After that, she did some adjustments on my back and upper neck to help relieve the tension I was having. It was like from night to day. The pain on my shoulder disappeared completely and the relief on my neck disappeared on the next half hour. I totally recommend the professionals at Electra Health Floor and will return anytime I need a Chiropractor. read more

I've been a regular at Electra for several years , primarily because they have a wide range of diverse practitioners. I've tried many over the years, and have found three that best support me through health concerns, who I've commented on below. It's also great to book sessions back-to-back to maximize the therapeutic benefits. Customer service has been great, they're always on time, and although the price is just a bit higher than the usual, I have found such quality of practitioners that I do my best to make it work financially. Jennifer McIntosh is a phenomenal counsellor who I cannot recommend enough. She is very skilled, intelligent, empathetic, and adaptable to your needs; her EMDR work is not only super helpful but deeply therapeutic. I've recommended her to several other people who are similarly impressed. Rudy Lee is a fantastic acupuncturist and TCM practitioner who has made a number of big improvements in my life through his recommendations. He has a keen eye, asks great questions and investigates issues systemically, and tries different strategies (acupuncture and cupping in my case) that are very helpful in resolving chronic muscle pain. He has an open, kind, generous, and focused nature; I'm very glad he's at Electra. Glenn Kukkee is an RMT I saw before his time at Electra, and so I was very glad to see him start working there. Responsive, effective, energetic, and excellent at his work, Glenn has a great ability to immediately understand what you need from a session, and then works to achieve that. I've had so much help from him over the years and also recommend him without reservation. He's an amazing RMT! read more

Often times people forget to write the positive stuff, ESPECIALLY when their in nagging pain. So here I am confessing my great experience at Elec Health! #1 compliment to this business would be that I finally felt safe. When your in pain (10/10 days), it becomes mental and physical. You get snappy, you can't move, and its debilitating. However, when I came in for my massages I felt relief immediately after, I trusted my RMT, and they really helped me understand my injury. To be honest I cried after my fist massage because I was so overwhelmed with pain throughout the day that when I was pain free, I finally felt a little hope for my long recovery. Staff: awesome, funny, supportive, caring and truly pay attention to the diversity of an injury. I have to give a special shout out to my RMT *** Glenn ***. He was so knowledgable, funny, and truly cared about my quality of life. My heart goes out to him and all people who take the time to help others. Hours: open late and early! I could still go to work and book an appointment with ease. They take worksafe claims! not all businesses are set up for this, so that was a huge perk. Thank you! read more

I find about the clinic 3 month ago and I am thrilled by the result what I got. Dr. Jordan Atkinson treated my case with exceptional attention , and knowledge.. The blood test was done, and the great conversation about my goal settings followed. I had constant joint pain in my knee, uncle and hip after an old injury. And the treatment brought me back to active life. My sleep significantly improved, no pain after the gym workouts! My over all well-being is now great! Thank you Dr. Atkinson. I highly recommend his clinic to all. Such a great place to fix your heath problem without invasive and damaging procedures. I am impressed with the result what I got, and the service - awesome doctors and staff. Irina T. read more

Dr. Mann is an incredible chiro - he is attentive, informative, and takes the time to explain the process prior to treatment. He listens to your concerns and tries to understand the underlying components, with a holistic approach rather than an isolated one. My neck is feeling a lot better thanks to his expertise. Would highly recommend! read more
