MassageWorks — Local services in Winnipeg

If I could give zero stars I would... this was my first massage ever and I will never go back again. First of all the facility itself is unappealing. The floors were dirty, and when your head is face down in the face rest that's all you're seeing. The room had no blinds or curtains which made it not only bright and un-relaxing but also made me nervous that someone could easily look down and in. The calzone place next door is so loud that again it was not relaxing. (which I understand is not massageworks fault, however it was still bothersome). When I first got there I was greeted by a lady, who I later learned was the owner, and I cannot stress how much perfume she was wearing. With the risk of sounding rude, it was absolutely nauseating. I have been to other massage places (have not had a massage before but did have physio) and they have never been so scented. My massage therapist was late, which wasn't a huge deal, but still unprofessional. She had cuts on her hands that she later told me about.

She told me that unlike most massage therapists, she didn't move any scar tissue because that 'wasn't her thing' and i don't even know what that means. She was clearly a smoker because when she was talking to my face all I could smell was cigarette smoke. She flat out told me that my shoulder pain was physiological and not physical literally after I just told her I had gone to see Dr. Kennedy at fitnessDM just on Friday and she explained that I had frozen shoulder and it could take a year or more to have the pain go away. I have a very high pain tolerance and can decipher what is physical and what is not... this I assure you is physical. Overall it was just a horrible experience and turned me off massages completely. I originally was wanted to book at action because I go for physio there but they had no openings today, now I wish I would have waited for...

Massage works is a good place to go after a workout or a particularly hard day at the office. They have a bunch of people who know how to loosen you up. In particular, I find that if I go here first thing in the morning I am prepared for the...

Love Catherine. She's such a good massage therapist and just so comfortable to be around, I never want our sessions to end.
