This place is amazing and the fact that it's always booked is insane to me. It's clean. The staff are nice. The thai massage is amazing!
I highly recommend this place if you have muscle aches or flexibility issues and are looking for a strong massage. Excellent staff all around who can advise you.
I went here for the first time and honestly it's the best massage I've ever got in my life. I love the intense pressure. She did different massage movements. If your not a fan of intense massage then this is not for u. I would recommend this place to anyone, it's def worth the money, you won't be disappointed.
I had been going to this location for about 2 years now and had always had AMAZING experiences until recently. I had the most horrible experience with Wendy/Yi Wang in March and after asked to speak to a manager but was advised by receptionist Simran that the only way to do so would be through email asking for manager Bernice to contact me. I sent the email over a month ago and have not received a response.

I’ve had a few massages done by Offer. He’s really thorough at checking in and mapping out what to focus on during the session. He often finishes with a face massage that is beyond relaxing! A great way to unwind and feel a deeper level of comfort in my body. 100% recommend!

I'm happy with the service! Offer is undoubtedly the best; I felt relieved from my first session. He has incredible patience and provides very detailed explanations. I'm already eager to book my next appointment!
Not for the weak. First time getting a Thai massage. I've had plenty of intense and heavy pressure massages before and this one definitely tops it. Will be back because it's my preference. My husband gets more massages than me and he thought it was too intense for him haha.

I had the TMJ massage and it brought so much relief. I’ve had lock jaw in the past and been in a pretty high state of anxiety with it. I’m grateful for the skill and attention that Offer Kuban has and I leave hopeful each time.

Came in for a prenatal massage, and it was the best one I have had! Lovely staff and great overall experience. Highly recommend!
Absolute best massages here ! Love the couple massages. The Thai massage is authentic and they really know what thier doing ! Free ginger tea in the waiting area. Slippers and front foyer can be better managed though !
This clinic is very efficient, friendly and skilled. Joanne is quite effective with her massage treatment and helped me greatly with a terrible headache and sore muscles. I've already scheduled my return visit.

Equilibrium is great. But specifically, Jeff Dalhousie. I have had massages all around the city to help alleviate pain and discomfort for decades. I haven’t found someone who understands the body and what to do to solve issues like Jeff can/ does. The myofacial release work he does is amazing and he is clearly a master of his craft. I drive past about 50 other massage places on my way to EQ, but I guess I’ll continue to do it because of the quality of the work.

I have been a client of the owner, Jenna, for almost 20 years, long before she started her own business. You will receive professional and considerate service from all the staff here. Shout out to Jenna, Ryan and Giselle for their excellent work!
I had an incredible experience here. Dr. Cannis is so knowledgeable and was so patient with me. I came in with pain in my right leg and she worked patiently with me to help find where the pain was. We did so many different points and even tested to see if it made an improvement. My leg is feeling so much better today. She even did some points for my adrenals and sleep and could tell that was another area of support I needed. Highly recommend, they’re so lovely and knowledgeable! Can’t wait for another appointment.
I recently had a fantastic experience with a Thai massage therapist (on) who really knows her stuff! She is incredibly skilled in deep tissue massages and her strength is impressive. I left feeling completely rejuvenated and relaxed. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a therapist who can deliver a powerful and effective massage
Helen did a great massage. She applied the right pressure and was able release the tension i had. Excellent work, great and clean place and the staff is very friendly.
I went for a deep tissue massage and absolutely loved it! Cindy was great and she worked on exactly that areas I told her to, it was a nice and relaxing massage. I will definitely return.
I would like to express my sincerest recommendation to this business. Namely for Ms. On Li who is the RMT that provides Thai or Swedish Massage.

I am a connoisseur of massage and having a history of past whiplash/auto accident, heavy weightlifting and a having a high stress job really places tension and tightness on my neck and shoulders.

On Li is a highly experienced and skilled practitioner. She knows how to read me and I ask for no mercy with a strong massage. Of more than 30-40 people I’ve probably received massages from she is the one that I am so fortunate to “get what I want” digging in and hitting all the knots and pains. I’ve really “met my match”.

Her technique is amazing and she will even walk on the back. I’ve gone for 2 x 2 hour sessions and 1 hr session so far and while I first didn’t think I needed 2 hours, now I know why in order to have the time on every single part of the body and not rush through all the areas.

Whomever is looking for a Thai massage which involves actively stretching you, you won’t be disappointed. Really glad I met her!
It was my first time getting acupuncture treatment for 20+ years on and off migraine and stiff neck for 1 year and back pains. I was surprised with the sensation of electric flow as the needles were placed, so I think it must be working. I feel my body less tight and looking forward to even more results as I complete the coursr of treatment. Dr. Jarry has a very pleasing personality and listens to my concerns and I trust him.
The family doctors here are skilled and knowledgeable. Many negative reviews here are about punctuality (being late) but that has nothing to do with them and the clinic! I feel really blessed being able to have timely & quality health for my baby, when the current system is constantly short-staffed and plagued with problems!
What a truly wonderful massage I had today.
Absolutely excellent professional service.
Look forward to another visit when I am next in Victoria.
Worse clinic ever ! Got refused because I was a few minutes late due to traffic. The receptionist was unpleasant , unprofessional and unkind. Never mind the way she looked ! The worse health care service you can find in Quebec !
10 min late as there was a traffic accident in front of the clinic, and we were refused … fever for 3 days, can’t get another appointment for the next 2 days! Then they tell us don’t go to the hospital. This is Quebec!

Glad to have found the prenatal massage service of Jensen. It is exactly what I am looking for. I left the room very relaxed. The bed too and the pillows were great to support my pregnant body. The pillows too are great in supporting my pregnant body. Highly recommended!

Great price, lovely educated staff, and had the place to myself on a Tuesday afternoon (12:30pm). Left feeling slightly sore (as expected with the treatments i'd received) but energized. I'll be back for sure!
I've had dozens of massages and this is probably the worst one I've ever gotten. I did show a few minutes late but I had called ahead to let them know, and I was okay to have my time shortened, so I'd understand if they were unhappy with me, but I don't think I deserved an hour of a low effort massage with zero technique. Or did I get someone who was having a bad day?

- I was practically drowned in oil
- the massage felt like a kid was colouring randomly on my back
- I asked for more pressure and she just said ok. Still no change
- at some point she was just swishing her hand back and forth lightly on my back like she was painting
- another point she just kept rubbing in circles like she was petting a cat

At no point did it ever feel like she was hitting any pressure points.
At no point did I ever feel relaxed, or that she did anything for my muscles.
No tension was relieved.
Extremely disappointed. I booked another massage another place soon after.
Everyone was very friendly and greeted me, right when I came in. Helen explained everything and took notes what I needed to be worked on the most. This being my first experience with massage, I was very happy. She mad sure the pressure wasn't too hard and advised what I should do agreed the massage as well

I highly recommend Lucito as a professional RMT. He is knowledgably, skillful and patient. There is a chronic pain spot on my right hand side waist from long time desk work. Lucito was able to fix it in one session! I am so happy that its no longer bothering me. He explained the cause behind each painful / sour spot and showed me the right posture or exercise to maintain the result from massage treatment. I will continue the weekly treatment with him.
It was such a great experience! Kristy is very knowledgeable, and has such an awesome pair of hands! I also love how she asks if I’m comfortable from time to time, and consent was asked in every step that she will move to a different spot, which I appreciate. Pressure was very on point as well. 10/10!
No idea why so many bad reviews
Ive been a patient there for years and I have been treated with the most professional ways !
Unfortunately the system is always the problem ..not the poeple especially in the health depts
Please be nice to employees who are trying there best
Much love and thanks for being there for us
Just had acupuncture treatment with Christine. it feels great after treatment. I feel like going to this place again. Christine appears to be subject matter expert, fun and genuine professional. keep up the good work Christine.
I will see you again soon :)

RMTs, Chiro, Physio, Accupucture, Medication... I've tried it all. I had frozen shoulders and was so desperate to get better, but nothing provided long term healing effects.

By a stroke of luck, I found Li. After 3 treatments I was able to see substantial progress in my healing and was able to scratch my own back again. I went from being unable to tie my own hair in a ponytail to having no problem with that range of motion. I've now stopped all other treatment except with Li and I'm amazed by the results. She is a game changer.

I have to tell you, her treatments are tough and strong. No pain, no long term gain. In my experience, relaxation massages are great, if you are looking for a short term solution. This isn't a short term solution.

However, if you are looking for less intense massage treatments, the clinic has therapists for that as well (I have tried them) you just need to tell them your preference.
My Favourite Go to Spa! Was Introduced by a friend in the area I love it and it’s so convenient and close to UVIC so I can walk down for my appointment after a long exam😂. Lucy does amazing RMT massages and is so good at getting that deep tissue. My pedicure by Ella was amazing and I keep
Coming back for more every month!! Thank you girlies 💕😊
Quick turn around from the time I arrived at the time I left. We did not spend 30 minutes at the clinic. The doctor was very knowledgeable and friendly with my 6-year-old. Will be back if needed.
We got an emergency appointment for baby less than 3 month old, then arrived 15 mins late and the doctor refused to see us…. Then the clinic tried to cover it up saying she went out of the office whereas her colleague who saw us eventually two hours later said no, she was at the clinic all along…
Christine is my favorite acupuncturist ever!! 👍👍👍She is the best acupuncturist!!! 👍👍I drove one hour to come here to visit her appointment only; and she treated my legs and shoulders 90% heal in one time treatment. I am so grateful for her help and she is so amazing!!! Highly recommend her👍👍👍
Christine is so amazing and she is the best acupuncturist ever👍👍👍 My back and shoulders were painful; and couldn’t sleep at night. After Chritine’s treatments, I could sleep well now. She saved my life!!!🎉🎉
Li gave me the best ever massage, she healed my should and neck issue! I really like her therapy methods and the massages! Strongly recommended!
I've come to Oriental Ensure Acupuncture Massage Clinic for the past year for my acupuncture with Cannis and massages with Emily. The service is here is always great, professional and always on time. I always leave there feeling refreshed and relief of pain. The clinic is kept clean and tidy. Thank you Cannis & Emily!!
I've been to Tuina Scarborough a few times for my back, neck, and leg pain. I would highly recommend Christine, who has a wealth of experience and uses her many skills to treat the issues. The location is clean and inviting, and if you need acupuncture there is a semi private room at the back.
Staff and massage therapist Cindy are amazing! I had a very comfortable and relaxing Swedish massage from Cindy. She is so professional, caring and she massaged me with the right strength and technique. Highly recommended!
Absolutely incredible staff all around, super sympathetic and caring. Will do everything they can to help you. They direct bill insurance, and will help you even if you don't have a referral. Many, many thanks!!
This place is a hidden gem in Toronto. I have been there 3 times now and plan to continue going there for my regular massage.
I was there today after overstressing my muscles during gym training and Cindy Zhou gave me the most relaxing massage ever. She also taught me how to properly stretch before and after trainings to prevent future muscles pains.
I have also worked with several other people there and they were all great. However, in my opinion, Cindy is the best.
You will not regret trying them.
After a long time searching for a good massage therapist in this area I finally found Cindy.
She is caring, patient, knowledgeable and applies the right pressure. I had an amazing experience and left the clinic feeling refreshed.
I'll definitely be coming back to see her and I highly recommend her to everyone.
I have had a variety of treatments (massage therapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy) at this clinic over the past ten years. The staff is friendly, spaces in both clinics are clean, and the treatments are extremely effevtive.
Over the last several months, osteopath Fahimeh Qaranful has done an outstanding job. I'm excited for my treatments as they leave me feeling very agile and rejuvenated – not just immediately after, but several days following. Fahimeh is passionate about her work and cares deeply about her patients. Even after one session with her, this was extremely evident. If you're wondering whether to try osteopathy or other therapy at this clinic, do not hesistate – you will not regret it.
Great and efficient service with friendly staff/doctors. Their new appointments system/portal is definitely a major upgrade. Thank you for your hard work!
Beautiful boutique spa. So relaxing with private rooms, heated beds and the option to book the private garden suite for when you and a friend want to get a treatment done together. Highly recommend!
I’ve had great visits at this spa and would recommend it to anyone looking for some quality pampering. The spa is beautiful, tidy and calm. The staff that welcome you in are professional and accommodating, and the spa therapists providing the services are knowledgeable and lovely. Worth booking in!!
Great experience in a beautiful setting and the ladies there are lovely. I've had 4 various spa treatments from Bliss and all have exceeded my expectations. I especially like their monthly specials which has great value for the services they bundle together. I'm looking forward to see what special April brings!
The spa requested I review their services after my appointment last month. I did not receive any response back, which was surprising due to my experience.

I was 5 months pregnant at the time and very excited for my half day of treatments at Bliss Spa. Although I did not expect a meal to be provided, I was disappointed to find out that they do not offer a lounge area with tea or snack bar while waiting or in between treatments. 4 hours is a long time to go without food or drink, and not once was I even offered a glass of water! It felt like the spa was unprepared for clients booked with multiple treatments. I was left for 10 minutes sitting on a bench in a cold hallway with my clothes in my hands after a relaxing massage. It just wasn’t the level of service I have experienced at previous spas. On top of this, I called two days ahead to ensure I could have my gel polish removed instead of the polish application that was included in my pedicure. The person I spoke with said it was no problem and added this service to my file. Upon arrival, the provider was not made aware of this and said it was not actually possible for her to do.

Although this provider was incredibly kind, it felt as though she, and my other provider had no experience with pregnant women. During my 4hr stay, I spent 3hrs flat on my back (which would’ve been longer if I had not asked to be sat up more, or for a pillow under my knees). Any provider who is dealing with pregnant women should know it is unsafe for them to lay flat on their backs for extended periods. Even while laying face down, I have always had RMT’s slide pillows under my shoulders for extra support. I realize I could have asked for this, but I try to be as low maintenance as possible for my treatments and did not want to make multiple requests. I was hoping the provider would have noticed how rounded my shoulders were as well as my neck and head being completely out of alignment due to the pregnancy mould.

I found it odd that I was not asked about my skin before products were selected for my facial..nor was I shown what was used. All I know is that my skin felt like an oil slick after, and even two days later, my skin does not feel or look the way it typically does post facial. I have a feeling the products that were used may have been too heavy for my skin type, which is typically blemish prone. It was also shocking to see how many times this provider had to leave the room during my treatments. I think I counted 7 times overall. This was interesting because I had a friend mention this about her experience as well prior to my visit. Overall I was expecting a much higher standard considering the amazing reviews from so many others. Very disappointing.
For all their bad reviews, I went in with low expectations but have to say it was a great experience. I only waited about 5 minutes before I was seen by a nurse for triage. Then I waited another 5 minutes for a doctor. The doctor was friendly and clearly very knowledgeable. She worked fast but gave me time to ask questions and give me advice. I would happily come back again.
I forgot the name of my RMT but she does massage and acupuncture. She gave me the whole history of acupuncture and explained how it works. She gave me a free 15 minute acupuncture after the massage because it would help me lower back pain. She said that massage comforts but acupuncture heals. She also explained how a massage works and recommended a little bit more pressure because it will more effectively remove the knots. The massage was amazing too.

The only drawback is that she was 10 minutes late because she also gave her previous client 15 minutes more.

I'm not mad though because her service is excellent and 15mins didn't make a huge dent on my schedule. I'd keep coming back to this place if I wasn't moving cities next month.

I got hot stone massage done, it was so relaxing, it was my first time getting hot stone massage, body got so relaxed. All I can say is awesome! Thanks! I will visit again!
Great place! Friendly staff. It’s always very easier to book appointments they have many availabilities. Highly recommended
The only good thing about this place is the chiropractor. He is the best chiropractor I've had! But the physiotherapist terrible, they give you the same exercises as everyone else it seems like they cannot come up with different exercises. Every time I go I see them giving other patients the same 5 exercises they give me Every time I go I see them giving other patients the same 5 exercises they give me.
I have been dealing with Fairview physiotherapy for a couple years now, for myself and my family. They are professional, and very easy to work with. The email reminders and communication is helpful, and easy to keep track of appointments. All of the therapists I have personally worked with have been very helpful, professional and courteous.
Compared to my experiences at other wellness /rehab centers, FV physio team are not pushy or trying to sell you extra services. They only suggest what you need or can afford within your insurance plan. I've never felt pressured.

The clinic is not a big one, but people here are warm and nice. Traditional Chinese massage and acupuncture service are provided by experience practioner from China.
Had my first massage done here today. I just really want to thank Emily! The one hour massage was very relaxing. Looking forward for my next appointment 😊 Thank you also to Jenny for a hassle free insurance claim. 😀
Wonderful experience in the clinic at good location. Doctor Jarry Liu has over 30 years experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine.I had some health problems, I am feeling much better after the treatment.

I went to see Amy 明last Friday and had a acupuncture on my left knee. I was in pain and even couldn’t go upstairs before my treatment but I couldn’t feel any pain at all after the treatment. Thank you Amy, you are the best😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have been to two of Chloe O’Toole’s Vinyasa classes - absolutely wonderful and Chloe’s instructions are helpful and insightful. The hour just flies. Thank you Chloe and A Space to Breathe.
Front desk and chiropractor who treated me are very welcoming and made me comfortable from the beginning. However had few red flag with the overall treatment.

1. They charged $100 for an assessment(normal practice everywhere). I was expecting similar treatment like in any other centres such as doing an assessment and then treating a patient in the 1st visit. However, they just assessed for like 20 mins and concluded saying the treatment starts from 2nd session - first red flag.

2. I went for 3 more sessions hoping they would treat accordingly. However, overtime they just treated for 15mins and just talk for another 10-15 mins and concluded sessions rather than treating a full 30-35 mins session which we expect and is a practice in every other centre I visited before. - 2nd red flag.

3: Treatment for that 15-20mins was GOOD I must say that but I was in severe pain and was expecting a full 30-35 mins session.

I was suffering from pain during period, ovulation spotting, and my hands and feet are always cold. By visiting Amy for several acupuncture and massage treatments, unbelievably the pain in period has eased a lot, ovulation spotting does not occur again, and my hands and feet are able to be warm even in winter. Amy is significantly professional and highly skilled in acupuncture, her skills could represent how magic the acupuncture is.

One time I was fallen from stairs, my ankle was injured and swollen. I visited Amy on next day, she needled in and out, then the swell immediately gone. The photo shows before and after. She stated that acupuncture is able to diminish inflammation and invigorate the circulation of blood. Amy is also a traditional Chinese physician, if you have any body issues that Western medicine couldn't solve just visit Amy, she may give you surprise.
I always love my experience here. Their lay down pedicure in the garden is one of my favourite with my husband or small group of friends. I have had many facials and medical aesthetician facials, pedicures and they have excellent items in their shop for gifts!! Highly recommend Nicole! I’ve got my family hooked on this spa too.
Jarry has been helping my husband and me with our various issues over the last 4 years. He is very kind and listens to our concerns and has successfully treated and helped us manage our pain. He know his stuff. Thank you Jarry Liu
I have seen other professionals for acupuncture in the past but this was the first place a practitioner discussed a plan and recommended number of sessions. I appreciated this because I feel it increased my success for long term pain relief. I completed 6 sessions. The first few sessions were quite painful. On a scale of 1 to 10, I was saying 8-10. By the end, I was saying 1-2 or no pain. Couldn’t be happier.
Came here to see Jarry for acupuncture to help with my bells palsy and he was great! I definitely saw a difference after my first session with him! I definitely recommend this clinic.
I have been going there for massage therapy with my husband and it is amazing. Ms Hiroko Hiano is our massage therapist and her massages are very good. It has helped me with my body aches and stiff back. She doesnt talk during the massage which helps you relax. I have been recommending her to everyone.
Warm and friendly staff. All masseuses are very professional. I had a few sessions with Amy and she's the best. She knows what she's doing and does her very best. Always goes an extra mile to get you all relaxed ❤️
Bliss really is rightly named. Yesterday I had my first facial by Nicole and it truly was blissful. The Spa was beautiful and immaculate. The staff I encountered were friendly and professional. As I wasn't sure which facial to choose, Nicole first assessed my skin and recommended the best product to address my concerns. The whole process felt wonderful. I completely lost track of time. I also thoroughly enjoyed the hand massage with paraffin. Altogether, a truly fabulous pampering experience! I will be back.

I practiced here while visiting Sudbury. I went to Barb’s restorative class, it was absolutely amazing! I left feeling weightless and grateful. The studio is nice with lots of space to practice. Props are available. Namaste 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I have one massage here. The lady give options for the kind of massage and oil the I wanted. The place clean, kind of hidden in this plaza. You don't have to wait to long to be attended. They offer different services. Check the picture attached to this post
Lots of good things to be said about this place.

Receptionists are friendly, thoughtful and just plain customer driven. Thank you!!!

My Therapist, Nicole M - took me from really banged up from a slip and fall to up and functioning better after two sessions. Nicole is thorough, listens to her patients and is really good at what she does. Wish I could give more than five stars. Thank you Nicole!!!

Overall a nice atmosphere, clean environment and amazing staff.
I go here often. The front desk staff are helpful and the massage therapists are good at what they do. I prefer to go with Lilia as she doesn't talk during the massage so I can just enjoy the session. Nicole gives a good massage too, but she is a bit chatty so you can't relax. Overall a very good place to go for massages!
