I think op is looking for some actual feedback.
Personally, I like going to the massage schools as it's 25$for like 75mins.yes they are students, but they're just as good as veteran rmts in my experience.
Finding one who is deep tissue may be a little harder to find though

The most recent one I went to was healing tree on broadway and Whit was my masseuse. It was relaxing as she had the perfect strength. I told her my spine area needed more work and she focus a lot on that right area.
She probably wonder why I didn't spoke much. A good massage are the ones that make you fall asleep. http://healingtreemassage.ca/

with insurance, part of the charge is covered. the percentage that is covered is solely dependent on what your insurance policy is.

oh, i think they all vary, but not by a whole lot. for reference, physio i used to go to charges 70 dollar per hour. i believe that was before insurance coverage.

Looking for a RMT in Richmond/Lougheed area. I'm looking in particular for someone who is good at get rid of knots as I have a lot in my back. I've tried several therapists who put a lot of pressure but I'm not sure if that's the best method.

If anyone is looking in Cloverdale/Langley area I highly recommend Nika at Clayton Gate. I went from not being able to stand for more then 5-10 minutes without excruciating pain due to sciatica to almost pain free (still working on it). Massage Therapy, Clayton Heights - Home
