I had a massage here with Arian this morning. The place is newish, clean and well-kept, and staff…read moreare very considerate, friendly, and conscientious. It's subdivided into a few smaller rooms where the walls don't go to the ceiling, which looks kind of unimpressive on the outside, but the insides are pleasant and white and have a sort of pleated paper type of ceiling that is actually rather lovely - it's a little like being in a nicely-lit tent at a festival or something like that. Noodly jazz music made for a relaxed atmosphere. You can hear the B-line going by outside, but this is an RMT clinic, not a luxury spa - it's about getting down to business and fixing what hurts. My massage was excellent - Arian's got good hands and an instinct for honing in on the spots that need it. He showed me a few stretches afterwards as well that should help me in the future. Would definitely recommend him.

On my FB feed, I kept getting ads for whole body massages and foot reflexology places. (I am always…read morelooking into these things as I am falling apart! lol. But I also am on a budget so I can't be indulging in these things if they're: 1. too pricey; or, 2. not highly rated). One such ad was for foot reflexology/massage at Leaf, and they noted they are having a "senior's special" if you're over 60. Hey, that's me! I can afford this, and the Yelp reviews are good, so I'm in! I liked how you can book online, and how you get an email confirmation immediately, and the day before a text reminder. Nice. The text reminder noted that there were 6 parking spots free behind the building. Bonus! I went today. Good thing I gave myself extra time to get there, as there was construction on the side street on 33rd, and the alley behind the building was narrow to navigate. Furthermore, there were no signs, where the free parking was, and the area directly behind the Leaf office was cordoned off with signs and tape ("closed for construction"). I circled the block multiple times before snagging a few 2-hour spot on Quebec between 32nd and 33rd. (Note: I later learned the 6 free parking spots behind the building are actually behind the adjacent blue building. When I had been in the alley and saw the blue building read lot, it was totally full, so I couldn't have parked there anyhow). If you come here, there's ample 1-hour spots on Main in front, and many free 2-hour sports on Quebec where I parked, FYI. Entering the place, I was immediately impressed with how clean and quiet it was, with soft classical music playing and a lot of greenery and plants. I was immediately greeted by a friendly lady who asked if I wanted water, and a nice man behind the front counter. I was escorted to a chair and asked if I wanted the tv on (no thanks! I'm here to relax and disconnect from the world for an hour). The lady was so genuinely nice. I later found out she was Jing Wang, the woman who would do my reflexology. Bummer that the wifi didn't work for me. I tried twice to connect, making sure I input the correct code that was posted but both times I got an "incorrect password" message. Oh well, I was here to disconnect, so perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. My session was wonderful and I felt like a new person. Seriously, I don't have money to burn, but this was totally worth it. Even my headache disappeared. I plan on returning later this month for another reflexology session with Jing. Worth it!

I tried out Leaf two weeks ago and I had a really pleasant experience overall. The staff is so…read morelovely and kind and offered me water upon arrival. The plants in the lobby immediately add a sense of calm to the space along with the music. I had an RMT massage for 60mins and it was awesome! The RMT was super knowledgeable and knew exactly what points to work on and applied great pressure. The reason for the four star and not the five is due to the room in which the massage is in. It isn't very soundproof so as you're getting your massage you can hear customers come through the front door and speak with reception which starts to lose that spa/total relaxation atmosphere. I already booked my next massage though and am happy to go back!

I understand since sessions are in progress. However, every other RMT I've been to has been sitting at the front whether I arrive 15 minutes earlier or 5. I was told my therapist would be out shortly. I sat and waited...and waited...for about 45 minutes in total with not a soul in sight the entire time. I just left. Totally unprofessional and will never return.

This is my favourite place to come to for an RMT massage as well as to use their IR sauna. I…read moreusually see Elise for a massage and she does an incredible job getting all of the kinks out of my back as I'm usually sitting at a desk all day. She takes notes of everything that's going on and offers advice on how to fix certain problems relating to my posture to ensure I can better myself. She's also so friendly and always a pleasure to talk to! The IR sauna is also one of my favorites as it's only $10 add on when you're there for another appointment (massage or chiro). You get 45 minutes in the sauna, and they give you an additional couple before so you can prepare and then after so you can get dressed. They have a sink in the same room as the sauna so you can wash up before you head out. Great little gem in North Van!

I love Northview Massage…read more I found this place on the internet when I was in need of massage services for an accident. The receptionists are all extremely helpful and patient. They work with you on helping find a good therapist that will help you with your needs. They offer tea and coffee while you wait. I've been going to Elisha, who is just lovely. She is so nurturing and caring. She always makes sure that you know that hour with her is your time. She goes above and beyond with tips to help your injury or adjust how you do things for your job to keep your symptoms at bay. I have nothing but great things to say. The walls of the clinic are a bit thin, so you might hear people in other rooms from time to time, especially during peak times, but this isn't a deal breaker for me. I will continue to go here even after my treatments end.

Newest review: Phillip no longer works here. I need to find myself a new RMT elsewhere…read more Not a big fan of the RMT, Simon. What should have left me feeling better after a one hour session, left me feeling nothing but "need" for a better massage after. --- early bird special here is a really sweet deal ($39 before 3pm). I felt like the rooms are perfectly fine. I can see why some people think it resembles a hospital room, but I was perfectly fine with it and the songs they played downstairs. I like how the noise level was kept to a minimal and there's the option of a room on the second floor where you can have your massage in the same room with a friend. However, I prefer downstairs over upstairs. It's a lot less quiet upstairs. My masseuse Tracy wasn't too good....in the sense that I hardly felt anything after the massage. However, I wouldn't mind trying a different masseur/ masseuse next time. Luna's not bad as a masseuse. Favourite so far would be Kelly :) (non RMT) And New favourite, but he's an RMT.... Pricier, but well worth it if you're covered :) Phillip's the name. I was 10 minutes late but he was very chill about everything and gave me my full hour of massage therapy. My shoulders feel so much better/ relaxed now. You definitely feel an obvious difference. He also explained a lot of stuff in Chinese to me and showed me some stretches to improve my problem areas. He speaks English rather well, I just prefer using Chinese. On a side note, they have 3 registered RMT's here that work from Monday to Sunday with different availabilities. I suggest you call in to make an appointment beforehand :) I think this place deserves 4.5 stars :)

On Dec.16, my partner received a cancellation email and voice message just ONE hour before the…read moreappointment saying the massage therapist was sick. The receptionist proposed a rescheduled date, but it didn't work for my partner. Rather than try to find a solution that would work, she opted to forego any attempt at customer service and simply said "there is nothing we can do." When my partner again tried to find a reasonable solution, the receptionist lacked the training or ability to deal with situation in a mature way, and chose to hang up mid-call. To call such action unprofessional would be an understatement. The reason to cancel the appoint is totally understandable, but a qualified receptionist with even the most basic customer service skills would attempt to come up with a feasible alternative to suit the customer, especially since there would have been an $80+GST cancelling fee if my partner would have been the one who had cancelled. Any professional organization that has high standards for their customers should also have high standards for themselves, but sadly, those standards seemed nonexistent. So one star for the unprofessional customer service, and hopefully the staff will receive the basic training required to engage with customers in a professional manner in the future. I have a coming appointment on 18th, hopefully they won't cancel it before the last minute. I will leave another comment after that. ---------------------------------------------------- Dec.17 update Yesterday I confirmed my booking politely through the phone, and this morning I also received the confirmation email. However, I received the cancellation email later afternoon, 24 hours before the appointment. I was expecting they may prove themselves by providing great service this time. But in fact, they just proved how unprofessional they are instead AGAIN.

I started going at this massage therapy and had Shem 2x already and he is very good, I would say…read moreone of the the best massage therapist I had. He addresses the issues I raised and made sure he spend a lot of time on the issue. I recommended it to my spouse and he had a good experience as well. I can highly recommend Shem! I also had a massage with Woo and he is also good. I will also recommend Woo. I booked Joanne for my acupuncture and again she is the best acupuncture I had. She started understanding my health condition with a lot of good question and check my pulse and everything. Then she started my treatment with deep pressure points that was the best part of my treatment and then use the needles. I never had an acupuncture that takes time to really understand your body and never rush the treatment like Joanne. I felt really good instantly after and have booked her again and again. I highly recommend Joanne for your acupuncture needs!

Tucked away between Cafe Medina and Chambar, is some physio goodness…read more Parking is available at T&T nearby if you want. Just go buy some groceries afterwards to redeem your tickets. The entrance is actually pretty difficult to find. It looked like the front door to some apartment building. but yes, you have the correct place. The reception is nice and trendy-looking. While waiting in that area, they have 3 types of flavoured water (orange, lemon, and cucumber). All 3 are quite tasty. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but they really do a good job of making them look a bit larger, especially with the nice wooden panels on the ceiling. Makes the place look a lot more peaceful and serene. My physiotherapist was Chelsea, and she knows her stuff. When I explained to her about certain knots in my muscles, she did a few really hard "presses" and they magically went away for a few hours. When she wanted me to do certain exercises and I was having trouble, she had a nice long list of examples to get me to do them properly, saying things such as "imagine someone's pulling on the top of your head with a string".. Lastly, the receptionist Ashley is really great. She was able to book multiple appointments for me, and followed up several times, delivering on all of her promises. Special mention. As I haven't tried any other physio places, I honestly don't have much to compare against. However, I will be using this place as a benchmark from this day forward.

In fact I had two bulging discs on my L3/4 and L5/S1 and a herniation on my L4/5. Talk about getting misdiagnosed!! :(
