I have been coming here for over 5 years and this is by far THE best massage therapy clinic in the city.
All the massage therapists are amazing but today's massage was from Brad and he is a very unique technician his massage is very slow and intentional. The slow movements feel like he knows exactly which spot hurts and needs to be worked on deeper, yet he uses the perfect pressure. His massage is truly unique to him an incredibly therapeutic. His training in reflexology and Reiki really shine through in the way that he works. His foot massage is more like an expert reflexologist, and you can feel that he's working on your energy as he massages. Something really cool that he does as well is keeps the bedding very close and tight to you when you're flipping over. So if you're someone who's a little bit uncomfortable with flipping over this makes it much easier. He strategically uses the warm towels to warm up your muscles , and he also wipes off all of the massage oil after he's done a spot. So if you are coming for a massage in the middle of your work day you leave feeling completely moisturized but not oily. Also at the end of the massage he stretches your neck with a warm towel and it feels amazing. I would recommend his massage to anyone and everyone especially someone who's feeling extra sore and needs an expert to work on a certain spot. As soon as I left i book a apt for my grandma to see him.

Read moreI've been going to The Pure Escape for several years but after my two recent experiences, I will never return. Every therapist I've seen there has been great, but the management evidently is lacking. Last night I sprained my ankle so I called as soon as the office opened this morning to cancel my 5:30pm appointment for today, apologizing and explaining that there's no way I could get myself there on my sprained ankle. Even though I've never ever been a no-show or even so much as 5 minutes late for an appointment there - and I've also been very accommodating when they have had to cancel on me or ask me to move my appointment up on the same day - they charged me a 50% cancellation fee. Now, as I read other reviews, I see that they claim to only enforce this for actual no-shows, and only when necessary, and they've even waived it for others who haven't shown up, while I gave several hours notice and am still charged. In addition, a few months ago they were advertising one price for a service but charging more, due to what they said was a website glitch. I pointed it out to them two weeks in a row, but they refused to honour the advertised price for the appointments that I'd had thinking I was paying the lower price. I thought I was being kind in giving them the chance to fix this glitch so I did not report it to advertising standards, but now I wish that I had. I would not recommend...
Read moreI’ve been seeing Brad for a little bit now, but today session really stood out because of the extreme shape I was in, and also because of how regularly tuned Brad is. So, I felt it best to chime in. Something I don’t feel comfortable doing as an introvert. Brad being a consistent friendly professional, is very knowledgeable and attuned to my needs. I didn’t realize how bad I left things until his healing hands found all the things that needed attention. It was intense to find things that I didn’t know were there until the massage began. It was humbling, and also a safe space. I was in exceptional hands. Historically, I wasn’t a massage person. I was always hesitated over the years about professionals putting their hands on me for a massage. I would go, then quit. Because I can handle it. Ha! Brad has been the exception. He stuck because the results quieted my stubbornness. My body did the talking as did the effectiveness of Brad’s skills. He also didn’t judge if I missed a few months. There was comfort in going at my pace. Today was an intense session. I was in a lot of pain coming in, and yet I felt I floated out of there. I’m super cozy in bed writing this review in awe of Brad’s healing work. Highly recommend. Another appointment has need booked, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else Brad has in store for me, and my...
