Reviews of Galt Massage Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Bryan

Fantastic! I have been for treatment with both Linda and Denis and am amazed by their knowledge, technique and professionalism. Highly recommend.

Jason McDaid

Fantastic massage from Denis. He took the time to chat and figure out my history in order to piece together underlying issues that may relate to problem areas in my musculature. Actual massage was amazing and his skill is bar none regarding locating and treating the areas that were problematic and associating them with symptoms related to them across the mind and body. Needless to say, would highly recommend!

Absolutely a life changing experience! Denis' work is beyond my expectations and my severe and chronic pain has magically disappeared thanks to his NISA skills. Soooo grateful!!!

I had never heard of CranioSacral Therapy until I met Denis ... For years I have suffered with chronic neck pain , insomnia, anxiety & general malaise. I can now say with certainty that Denis has changed my life after introducing me to CranioSacral Therapy ( CST ) !!! A MUST do for anyone who suffers from chronic pain , chronic fatigue , PTSD and any other issues ... you will come away feeling so much better ! I pair my CST with his other massage techniques and leave feeling amazing , relaxed and pain free ! Try it you won't be disappointed ! Denis Mericer is an absolute professional and amazing therapist! After suffering for 20+ years with severe neck pain and several years of physiotherapy I finally I can say Denis is making it better

A great experience. Linda and Denis are very thorough and knowledgable. I left feeling relaxed but more importantly educated and aware of preventative measures to take home.

Dennis was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. It was also a very good massage.

I have been seeing Denis for my massage treatments couple of years and he always helped me with relief of stress and pain. Recently, I tried Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) also referred as craniosacral therapy. This was an amazing experience for me. Thus far I had 2 treatments and would like to continue. Not only that it relieved pressures in my body, but it helped with relaxing an overactive mind and completely brought my body and brain to a standstill. If you are looking for a complete, holistic experience, the CST is a must try. I highly recommend this as a patient, but also as a healthcare professional.

Definitely Love going to see Denis! He is caring and thorough with his patients and strives to make a difference! He treats differently from your typical massage as it is more fascial based and full body as opposed to spreading lotion and fluffy. Definitely a quality massage!

Had a great first experience here. I learned quite a bit, and walked out feeling a lot better. Looking forward to my next visit.

Linda and Denis are both professional and very knowledgeable as well as lovely people. This is a great place for massage therapy. I am looking forward to trying out NISA technique. Thanks Linda and Do for your outstanding service

Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable therapist. The best massage therapy session I have experienced. I felt informed and engaged in the process. I will return.

Had my first massage here today with Dennis. Have to say I was very much impressed about how much knowledge he had to offer about all the muscles. Also made me feel relaxed and the massage helped with some key issues I've been having related to back and headaches Looking forward to coming back and would recommend this service to anyone

Linda is amazing! I always leave feeling relief from the reason I walked in. Love NISA!

Denise`s massage was fabulous. My muscles were hurting a lot and the message helped to relieve a lot of pain.

Galt Massage Therapy is absolutely EXCELLENT. I've been seeing Denis for months and my experience in being treated by him has made me an absolute convert to the benefits of GOOD massage therapy. Honestly, I used to believe that massage therapy was just a very expensive way to relax, and not something that offered real medical benefits. Unfortunately the manner in which registered massage therapists (RMTs) are certified means that some massage therapy offered by some RMTs genuinely IS just an expensive way to relax. Some massage therapists, such as Denis @ Galt Massage Therapy, seek and obtain an incredible amount of additional expertise, but there is really no good way for them to advertise themselves or distinguish themselves as "more than" just an RMT. This also means that the general public unfortunately has very little ability to assess what type of RMT they are actually working with, and whether they are receiving the treatment they need (and real value for money - massage therapy is not cheap by the standards of the average uninsured person). Denis is what I personally think of as a "medical" massage therapist. He is not a windchimes and incense and flute music type - rather, you can tell he is an expert in treating the physical body. He clearly has an excellent understanding of anatomy and how everything in the body connects to everything else. Working with Denis I've learned that when something hurts - for example my hip - it's frequently connected to tightness or injury in some other area of the body that I never would have known to target. I honestly cannot recommend him enough (and while I haven't been treated by Linda, I believe she has a similar attitude and breadth of valuable knowledge). At the beginning of every appointment he will inquire about my health/any new issues, but most of the time I just tell him to work on what he thinks needs to be worked on, as frankly he is SO MUCH BETTER than I am at detecting where my problem areas are. It is very clear that he is able to get information from your body that you maybe could not have articulated yourself, which to me is a real mark of expertise. The thing you have to understand about massage therapy (which I personally did not understand until being treated by Denis) is that it is a gradual process of both healing AND maintenance of physical health. Attending a massage therapist for the first time as an adult usually means that you will have accumulated all sorts of issues over the years. NO massage therapist is going to be able to "fix" that in one session. Rather, you attend regularly to allow the therapist to work on treating those areas and ALSO work to prevent you from getting new problems. Oh, one more thing. I know that some women are uncomfortable with the idea of being treated by a male massage therapist. I'm female and in my thirties. When I booked my first appointment with Denis my back was bugging me so much that it didn't even occur to me to care about the gender of the RMT - I just wanted help. That said, I have ALWAYS felt 100% comfortable with him. You are always covered with a sheet, but for the area being worked on, and Denis is always careful to secure/manage the sheet when you're turning over or shifting position. So if you have any discomfort about that, don't let it hold you back from getting help from an expert like Denis!

I have always been very sceptical about massage. I thought of it as some sort of ‘parlour’ game, if you get my gist. Over the years I have developed a rather significant lumbar scoliosis. I’d been to see three different chiropractors who promised me ‘amazing’ results. Not one delivered even though I spent thousands of dollars. My niece recommended Denis Mercier at Galt Massage Therapy. She said he was amazing. At this point I felt that I had nothing left to lose. Fast forward several months and I am now ‘a believer’. Not only has Denis released fascial adhesions that I didn’t even know I had but he is actually starting to release a very large and noticeable group of muscle spasms that are pulling my spine laterally into a scoliosis. I am an operating room nurse who has worked exclusively in operating rooms for 37 years. This has taken its’ toll on my musculoskeletal structures. I have finally found a healthcare professional in Denis Mercier, who is making a real difference. Anyone who goes to Galt Massage Therapy will find relief in a very professional environment.

Just had another wonderful massage. If you haven't tried NISA, a deep tissue technique that works directly on the fascia, you should give it a go. Linda and Denis are fantastic!

Brooke Wanklin

Denis and Linda are both absolutely incredible. They are flexible with hours, and are always willing to help out on short notice. They both are able to pinpoint and help with effected parts of your body. I would not go anywhere else for a massage. I highly recommend either of these lovely people!!
