SPA DAMO (Concordia) — Local services in Montreal

Came with friends for a relaxing massage. It was ok for me considering the price is way bellow other places but it wasn't what I'd call relaxing.

Just like the only negative comment said, we were not asked if we had an area we wanted to focus on nor did they ask us which level of pressure we were comfortable with. In fact, one of my friends was in pain the whole time and tried asking for less pressure without success. They mainly focused on the back and applied a lot of pressure in some areas to the point of hurting, as I'm quite knotted I thought it was fine but my friend said she couldn't enjoy any of it and also had back pain the next day.

I don't think they talked English or French which made it impossible to communicate.

Overall, what could be improved is: ask people if there's an area they'd like to focus on try different levels of pressure and ask people which level they prefer ask people if the room temperature is comfortable for them get a whole album of diverse relaxing music instead of having the same 15 sec loop get better massage table covers that don't leave a mark so intense on your clients' face that it's still there an hour later if only a male massage therapist is available, make sure to let your clients know in advance (preferably even before booking) instead of presenting them with the info at the...

My fiancé and I booked a couples massage hoping for a relaxing experience after two full days of walking around the city. While the staff were friendly and welcoming, the overall experience fell short of what we were expecting.

The two ladies chatted and laughed with each other throughout the appointment, which made it hard to unwind and truly relax. We also weren’t asked at any point if we had any areas we wanted to focus on. About 15 minutes in, I mentioned that our legs were especially sore from all the walking and asked if we could get some attention there. Although she acknowledged my request, she continued focusing on my back and barely touched my legs — completely skipping over my feet.

A huge thank you to Spa Damo and their amazing therapists, Yumiko and Valen. I was dealing with back, shoulder, & neck pain that got particularly bad while traveling in Montreal. But my two sessions near the beginning and end of my trip really changed things for the better. Yumiko was so awesome—her genuine warmth and expertise made the session so comfortable and she saved me from an evening of pain. And Valen is absolutely brilliant—legitimately one of the best massage therapists I've ever had, anywhere! Both were super kind, and their expertise really made a huge difference. I'm so grateful for their help and can’t wait to come back next time I'm in town. Thanks so...
