Massage Athletica — Attraction in Winnipeg

I have had an aching upper back for over months. Went to the chiropractor and still no improvement. I went and saw Catherine and after one session my back was feeling almost 100%. She explained everything going on. I had a lot of tension in my upper traps. I had adhesions between my rhomboids and traps that prevented my shoulder blades from working properly thus leading to the constant nagging ache in my back.

I run long distances, play soccer, and bike. I'm also a personal trainer and still had no idea what was going on with my back. I tried everything I could on my own. Rolling, stretching, changing my running gait etc..I developed shin splints and IT Band Syndrome because of trying to change my gait (which is actually fine.) She also just worked my calves and did cupping on my quad yesterday as well and spent a few minutes on my upper back again.

She is so knowledgable and I would highly recommend her if you are any type of athelete, recreational exerciser, or even if you don't exercise and have some sort of pain preventing you from living your best life.

I'm excited to see how my quad and calves feel when I try I light run this weekend! I'm so grateful I went and saw her and I finally got some answers for my back pain! She told me to release (with a lacrosse ball) my upper traps and do strengthening exercises for my lower traps because they would most likely be weak. Well they are WEAK! I've had to cut the weight I normally lift in half when I'm strength training at the gym.

I would give her a bonus star if I could. I'm excited to run again after being side lined for the past month. We only get a few months of nice weather running in Winnipeg! Thank you Cathrine for helping me get back doing the...

Hi, I dont like giving bad reviews but OMG. I normally go to the one on Waverley and see Jared. I really hurt my neck. Either he wasnt in or was booked. I called and they said John was avaiable on portage so I said ok. I went there on sept 9 2023 at 1pm and I think it was the most awkward, horrible massage I ever got. I did tell him I was sore on the right side of my neck. So he was working on that side for maybe 20 mins not alot of pressure. The he said he was going to give that side a break so he started massaging my calf which I had Capri's on and started massaging my feet. He was talking which I don't mind but whenever he talked he stopped massaging me. The only time he stood up was to massage my feet and calf. After the hour i got dressed and he came back in to see how i was and i said it was still sore so he had me sit and the chair and tried to loosen it up. Then he said if it still hurts tomorrow for me to come back. I live on corydon and i got to Waverley also because it's on my way home from work and its also closer to my house. It was my last massage on my benefits so I was hoping for a good one. A few days later I booked a appt with Jared on Waverley and he was amazing as usual. He even told me some excerises to do to help my neck. Sorry for...

PARKING: don't listen to Google maps. It leads you to the back when there is parking at the front. If they run of parking in the front, do not park against the building. You are, however, allowed to park in the church's parking lot.

BILLING: they do not direct bill but they provide a detailed receipt to make your insurance claim.

SERVICE: my massage therapist was at the front desk waiting for me when I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment, and smiled courteously as he provided me with the parking information I stated above and allowed me to go move my car. He went over what he was going to massage, based on the information I filled out on the sheet. Offered me a bottle of water afterwards too.

PERFORMANCE: I went in because of a stress injury in my right shoulder and my neck. These guys are no joke! They specialize in athletic massage therapy, and Kyle worked out my issues within our 1 hour time slot. He applied the perfect amount of pressure; I could feel him working out the knots and stretching out my muscles, but it was not painful. A good pain, I suppose, but not teeth grinding, screaming in your head pain.

VERDICT: definitely going to go there again! I'm interested in the massage packages, but not sure how that would work...
