Chris Arise Review Massages with Chris have been nothing but beneficial for both a client's mental and physical health! He can skillfully manoeuvre and learn more about the patient's current reality by asking the right questions to gain a great understanding of how pain is preventing day to day activities. This allows him to apply his knowledge with techniques that not only relieve pain but encourage the body to return or improve to a better state, whether that's posture, biomechanics, alleviating compressions, or waking up sleepy muscles so that they can function properly. All these techniques are layered with his genuine personality who cares about his patients on their road to recovery or a pain-free life while remaining nothing but professional on all levels! In saying this, my massages with him, I feel, have immensely helped calm my brain that never stops worrying about college, as well as aiding my body to reconnect with itself to function in a more efficient/pain free way. His professional yet genuine demeanour always creates a safe, comfortable, and positive environment! He always suggests something to be done at home whether that's an exercise or a stretch or a different modality, to further aid the work that he's done at his office. That being said, the assessments, massage, and home care are all taken into account so that he can use his knowledge to educate and help heal your body from the bumps and the rollercoaster ride of life! Thank you...

Read moreI have been treated by Sheena for many things over the last year and a half. She has treated me for numerous different things, from lower back pain to severe shoulder pain. As I am currently a student, these areas seem to be of major concern as would many other people agree who are sitting for much of the day. She is very knowledgable of the body's anatomy, along with knowing how it functions in our day to day lives. She has been very professional during each of our appointments, and demonstrates sincere kindness. She always gives me great exercises and stretches that I can do on my own to speed my recovery process so I can be more comfortable throughout all my daily activities. The atmosphere in Sheena's massage room is always very welcoming, warm and therapeutic. It is a space where I always feel very safe, and I can let go of all the stress in life while I am there. I have looked forward to every appointment I have had with her to date, and will continue to make sure I go back on a regular basis. I highly recommend going to Sheena is you want a...
