Trikinetic Massage Therapy Clinic

I have experienced problems with my lower back since 2009, and a friend recommended Trikinetic Massage to me, and I haven’t looked back. My primary practitioner is Estelle Cormier. Each visit, she asks me to summarize the problems I’ve been experiencing. Usually she has a look at how I am standing to see if my body is somehow out of alignment. In my opinion, Estelle is the best practitioner I’ve ever encountered. She is thoughtful, accommodating and flexible in her approaches. Plus, she knows her stuff. In addition to bringing me relief from discomfort, she is able to use the wall posters of human musculature to explain where she thinks the source of the problem is, and also suggest ways I can alleviate the problems from home. On times that Estelle has been away, I also had the pleasure of seeing Karen Fleming, who has a very interesting and very different approach. Karen uses gentle movement to relax and release muscles. Also an excellent experience. All in all, I highly recommend this clinic.

I’ve seen Ray Ranger twice now and my back can’t thank me enough. Not only did Ray loosen all, but I felt completely comfortable around them (that’s the pronoun they prefer). Ray explained everything that was going on with my back to me in a way that was easy to understand and not too overwhelming, along with striking up some very interesting conversations at the same time. My particular back problems are the result of something that is a bit embarrassing to talk about, but Ray was super understanding and open-​minded, not to mention the whole clinic is 100% LGBTQ+ friendly.
After the initial consultation appointment (1 hour), I asked Ray how often I should be going in for appointment and whatnot. Ray was upfront and honest with me with the recommendation of every two weeks, or every week if I’m having a lot of pain, without being pushy or trying to upsell a service.
Bonus points for convenient location to Skytrain!

I wrote a review about my RMT Estelle so you can look at that for what I said. I really like this place since it is so close to commercial skytrain and it has online booking now too! I’ve been going here for 8 years now and everyone is very nice. Would recommend.

I saw Ray Ranger here and the experience was exactly what I needed. Ray has a very calming and safe energy, and can really dig in deep with elbows and forearms. As I ooh-​ed and ahh-​ed through the massage, Ray was happy to explain how things are connected which I totally loved as I’m an anatomy geek. As I’m a larger bodied person I’m always unsure how professionals may react to my body, especially during something as intimate as a massage. I had to write this review because Ray made me feel very comfortable and actually good about my body. Also, they gave me a tennis ball to roll around on and loosen my shoulders. Go see them!

Estelle and Margaret are deities! They do great work and if you live in East Van, the clinic is friendly and very convenient to Skytrain.

Yes folks it is possible to get a deeper massage than those light ones you may have been experiencing. Estelle Cormier at this clinic knows the body and how to make it better.
