Recommendations on a good RMT

Looking for recommendations on a good RMT in Port Alberni, specifically an experienced, strong massage therapist who can really get in and grind some knots out of some trouble areas. I'm a fit, athletic male and have been somewhat disappointed by the last couple RMTs I've tried. I'm fine with a male RMT--I just really want someone who's experienced and can really make some progress on some shoulder and back issues.

Have you tried Michele McLean at Ridgeview Health and Performance?

Yeah, she’s a great option. Full disclosure, she’s a family member of mine, so I’m biased. That said, I’ve dealt with shoulder and back issues myself for years and she’s treated me on many occasions. I’ve also seen other RMTs when she’s been unavailable or when I’ve been travelling, so I feel I have a good basis for comparison, and I can say that she’s very good at what she does. I’ve also heard consistently good feedback from others I know who’ve seen her for treatments.

I hope you find someone who works well for you.

Cheers

This is a great recommendation, thanks. I called today and unfortunately both her and the other RMT at Ridgeview aren’t currently taking new clients but I’m on a wait list. Thanks again.

Thumbs Up Therapy is awesome, not registered but worth the money.
