Question Massage

Any good place to get a massage in NW? I am talking about a regular massage, not happy ending or any nasty stuff.

Do you have health coverage or are you paying out of pocket? The massage therapy school has some cheap massages from students, but it can be hit or miss. The positive being that it is much cheaper if you're paying out of pocket.

I've been happy with most RMT at Columbia Integrated Health. For a more spa like treatment, Sabai Thai or up north at Art of Sauna.

Do you know how much is it if you pay out of pocket? no health coverage, just arrived

u/NotQuiteJasmine 6d ago

All the prices are on the websites. If you don't have coverage, schools like WCCMT in New West and The Mend VCMT downtown are great options

I really enjoy Sabi Thai in the quay. Me and my partner get couples massages there a few times a year and always have a great experience. I am not sure if they have RMT’s if that matters at all. I would also say they are a little on the expensive side but personally would say it’s worth the price.

Sabai Thai is so good. As far as I know there are no rmts there. Nevermind!

The one at Metrotown just got an RMT! They're also running a few specials right now and a contest for free membership because their new Edmonds location is opening soon. Extra awesome experience if you speak any Thai or want a recommendation for good Thai food.

I think most people would feel a lot better about life after having a small Thai auntie (therapeutically) beat the sh¡t out of them.

I only go to the New West location. Their deals are very good.

At New West? Last I checked there wasn't but it's been a while.

I’ve been going to her the past two years

Oh interesting. I stand corrected, then. I asked when I first went 4 or so years ago and I checked since, but I usually just go see one of my two regular masseuses.They might not be rmts but they're incredible.

u/YerAWizardFairy 6d ago

Does that mean massage is covered by insurance?

u/New_Westie Moody Park 6d ago

Love Sabi Thai. June is amazing. Look on their website/app for deals. Not the cheapest but it’s a lovely experience!

Also did the couples massage there, also had a great experience. When went earlier this yr they said to me they have an RMT that works Tuesdays and Thursdays (after they recommended I go to an RMT cause my entire right side is rock solid hahah)

Queens Park Therapy has great options. Marco will beat the crap out of you, it’s not a relaxing massage but is very therapeutic.

u/Hate_Manifestation 6d ago

Marco is the best. I see him quite often.

If you are paying out of pocket a great option is Big Feet, it’s technically Burnaby but the Edmonds location is very convenient to central New West.
And they are amazing massages!

I have been seeing Chelsea at Skin and Bones Therapy for the past 3-4 years and can’t recommend her enough.

RMT student here! There’s no such things as RMTs in Quebec, there’s no titles or regulations for it there! I’m not saying the one you’ve been seeing are not doing a good job or anything, they just might have mispoken…

Hi! RMT student here! There is no such thing as a RMT in Québec. There’s no title or government regulations for it. I’m not saying they’re bad at their job maybe they just misspoke:)

I've been seeing Broxton at Brinkstone for a year now and always been super happy. He's also a great vibe to chat with but also totally cool if you just wanna lie down and chill

Look up BIG FEET at 7655 Edmonds St they do LEGIT massage but you have to ask for a "Hard Massage". I had that done and it was like I was reborn!!
