Reviews of Vital Wellness Centre (Massage Therapist)

Jessica Ngo

Richard is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and professional. His treatments are very thorough and personable. I have struggled with upper and lower back pain for most of my life and my treatments at Vital Wellness have significantly reduced the pain. Richard has also found and treated many underlying issues that, to my surprise, had great contribution to the pain. I highly recommend seeing Richard at Vital Wellness...you will be in good hands!

Great clinic and service! I had a deep tissue massage with Richard, for a sports related lower back pain. Richard was able to effectively identify and work on the areas leading to my pain by using various techniques!

Ian Lopez

Richard’s been working on my lower back since last year and he’s helped it out in a big way. Super knowledgeable, and attentive to concerns, he’s done a great job with treatment!

Abhilash Nayak

My experience here was amazing. Richard is highly professional and knows what he is doing. I went to him with pain in my right knee. It just took 4 sessions for me to walk with no pain. He also advices of exercises that can help in recovery. 5/5

Richard is great at listening and really cares about his clients. Extremely friendly and professional in providing lifestyle tips to help improve your well-being beyond just giving massage therapy. :)

I visited Vital Wellness after many visits to several other good massage therapists and clinics. Richard worked with me to address the root cause of the pain and not only worked to treat it for the time being but completely cure me of it. The range of motion in my body parts have increased immensely. His treatment also made me understand my own body and pain. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his work. The sessions are fun with a few good laughs, thanks to his friendly and cheerful personality. I come out rejuvenated over all. I will continue to visit him and will recommend him to my family and friends.

I been looking for a Massage therapist for a while now and I'm really glad that I came to Vital Wellness! Richard has been so helpful, professional and accommodating. My shoulder/back stiffness has gone away significantly after the first session. He also suggests some stretches and exercises to do at home between sessions (And these have been very helpful!) I would highly recommend Richard if you are looking for a RMT!

Richard is a great dude! Super down to earth, makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. Great conversations to be had! Studio is clean and well kept and quiet. Excellent service and top tier quality for your money. I always feel better after visiting. Massages and acupuncture are fantastic.

I came in because I had neck issues. The practictioner who helped me out was very professional. After he had worked on my neck, he gave me sufficient exercises to help ease the pain I was feeling. I have noticed significant changes in my neck. I can turn further with less pain. The pain, albeit still there, has decreased significantly. The best part of my visit is how clean the place was. The massage table was very comfortable. Overall, great spot and I recommend anyone that needs corrective massages or work done on them to come here to Vital as Richard is very polite and professional.

I did not book a massage for about 2 years simply because we are in a pandemic, and I really did not know if it would be safe. Another reason I hesitated to book was because I could not find a massage centre that was open late on weekends. I found Vital Wellness Centre while searching online. I only hope I can explain how great life has been since I started coming here. They are open 11-8pm daily, which is almost unheard of when it comes to massage clinics. This was a dream come true because I finally could find time to book on my off days. I was suffering for years from very intense back pain. This impaired my ability to progress in my fitness journey. I thought I would have to live with pain for life. When I came to Vital Wellness, I met the most outstanding and inspiring RMT named Richard. He is a not just a massage genius, he is also like a fitness coach, and always remains friendly and highly professional. He will surprise you with various techniques, which will provide you with long lasting results. He is the only registered massage therapist that did not waste my time or money, instead he focused solely on my problem areas. After years of suffering in pain, he completely resolved them. Richard will even find trouble areas that you may not have known existed, and he will fix those too. He added balance to my life, by relieving work stress, he made hitting my fitness goals even easier and way more fun, my mood even improved and lastly, he made me a firm believer in Vital Wellness Centre. Regarding my concern about booking a massage during the pandemic, I can tell you that you will find the cleanest facility, sanitized and safe for everyone. The service has been outstanding, truly professional and remains one of the best decisions I made to make this my permanent massage clinic. Richard will even do direct billing if you have insurance and email you the receipts. Vital Wellness Centre has been so good to me and my family, that I would never want to go anywhere else again. I hope this review was somehow helpful to you and your wellness journey.

First massage back from a clavicle fracture and was treated really well in terms of where my discomfort and problem issues were building up post injury. Richard was very informative and helpful with alleviating post injury trauma by pairing deep tissue massage and acupuncture, while also providing a great atmosphere in the process. Overall great experience and recommend to anyone looking to feel better!

Look no further!

Abbas Godhrawala

I was feeling some pain in my neck and shoulder area, so I decided to go to Vital Wellness Center. Richard there was amazing in helping relieve the pain and relaxing me but also showing me quick exercises to keep me pain free! Amazing experience!

Lucia Sylvester

Richard is extremely professional and very knowledgeable when it comes to his craft. He makes you feel comfortable and has a great bedside manner. He is willing to work with you to address any issues you might have and goes above and beyond just providing a "service." We highly recommend Richard.

Johnson Liu

Excellent service, would go again. I need more work

Beverly Gavino

I definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a massage. The RMT is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions/concerns regarding my neck and shoulder pain. After getting a massage on my neck, I felt a lot better and he even recommended some mobility work to do at home.

ceeloqueen

I had a pretty bad knot in my back that's been bothering me for weeks. I was finally convinced to get a proper massage and I'm very happy I came here. Come to find out I had numerous knots. I got 2 sessions of the deep tissue massage and now I'm feeling good as new (it's probably been a month since the last session). That goes to show that Richard really took his time to release all the knots out of my back. Any question you have, he has a very informative answer. You can tell he really knows what he's talking about. Overall the experience is great, and he makes you feel comfortable which is important. Thanks for a great experience!

Joy Uddin

Within a few weeks, Richard was able to greatly increase my overall mobility and better my form for weightlifting. Reduced pain and stress. Highly professional and knowledgeable. Great 1 to 1 patient experience!

Victor

Before coming here, I had never seen a registered massage therapist prior to my visit. Safe to say, after seeing RMT Richard Lam, I had been making a mistake not going to one. Richard is a fantastic RMT and dedicates himself to the profession in an extremely passionate, knowledgeable, and technical way. Any worries about muscle pain, fatigue, and soreness are alleviated after seeing him and his recommendations are always done with your own specific needs in mind. The clinic is new, clean and very professional looking whilst following all of the COVID-19 guidelines in place, making you feel a bit more at ease and comfortable through this pandemic. I would highly recommend this clinic and seeing Richard. He's great at what he does and provides an amazing service and treatment for you with fantastic communication.

Amazing service and great staff!

Monica Abdelkader

I’ve been going for massage therapy on a regular basis for almost 10 years now, and based on my experience I cannot say enough good things about Vital Wellness Centre. After returning to Toronto for work, I did some research for a close by therapist and came across Richard and his team at Vital. Richard is professional, and has done wonders on pain points that have been troubling me for years. Not only did he help by working out areas other (very good) therapists hadn’t, his in depth knowledge of the human body and impeccable technique helped me learn more about my body and wellness in a few sessions than I had in years of therapeutic work done before. Being in town from Halifax for a stressful and taxing work project, I found going to Richard weekly helped relieve some of the both chronic pain and regular aches and pains that come from long work hours. He was so good that he was recommended to my colleagues, and those who visited also raved about the quality of his treatments. I strongly recommend Richard, and if he was in Halifax, would definitely be a regular client. I will be back in Toronto in a few weeks and am already looking forward to my next session! A must try for anyone looking for a good and reliable quality of service!

Lisa Hulet

Richard is a thoughtful and intuitive RMT. He takes his time to get to know you and to understand any challenges you may have. He also provides exercises to do after the massage is done if he feels it will help you. I highly recommend him and will continue to see him for RMT.

Aleksandra M

This is by far the best RMT place I've been to over the last 10-15 years. I've struggled with upper back pain that also contributed to awful headaches for a very long time. I had a few good massages in the past, but nothing that has helped as much as the treatment I received at Vital Wellness Centre. Richard is very knowledgable and professional and I can't thank him enough for helping me feel well again! :) I will definitely continue coming in for RMT (although I've noticed I don't need massages as often when I also do the exercises recommended by Richard!) and recommending Vital Wellness Centre to friends and family!

George Ngo

I've been experiencing knee pains for the past year, and was always very hesitant to go see an RMT due to COVID. I couldn't take the pain anymore, so I looked for any RMT's near me, found Vital Wellness and they did not disappoint! Richard was very professional, and respectful to my concerns about COVID. Not only did he fix my knee pains, he followed every COVID safety protocol from the moment I entered, which made me feel very safe. I've been to other RMT's before and what stood out to me most about Richard was his adaptability based on his client. He made sure I was feeling comfortable, and welcomed throughout the whole experience. Other RMT"s did not say a word to me the entire time I was getting treated, which gave me a bad impression on RMT's in general. I'm really glad I found Richard, because I will definitely be a returning customer! If you're looking for an RMT in the Mississauga area, I highly recommend Richard, you won't regret it!

Sid C

Great massage therapy session! Had some really bad neck/upper back pain which significantly improved after the session. Very knowledgeable and listens to his patients. Really seems to care. Provided useful physio exercises for my particular issue also. Will be going back!

Mathew Hughes

Fantastic! After visiting so many other health care professionals in the past, I finally have found a clinic that looks at not only the area where I feel pain, but the root cause of the problem too, and helped me understand WHY I have pain, rather than just treating the symptoms over and over again! The treatment techniques used here really aim to target the cause of my issues to get long term effects, unlike other clinics that seem to just use a passive approach to my care. I finally have hope for my recovery, and I'm happy that I came to Vital Wellness! Wooh! Thank you!

V Nguyen

Richard is the man! Been having back pain at a young age and finally decided to go get it resolved. Looked up "massage therapist" near me and notice that thus place had quite good reviews. Checked it out, been going here about 4/5 times now and Richard worked his magic on me and honestly, I feel amazing.

Sharlyn Grace Gante

I HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re looking for a quality massage. I’m always feeling better after my appointments. I’ve struggled for years with a sore back, neck pain, and shoulder pain. Unlike many of the chiropractors, physiotherapists, and RMTs that I’ve seen over the years, Richard (RMT) has helped me gain CONTROL of the pain! He works with you to try to figure out the root cause, and talks you through his plan of care. Depending on your issue, his methods aren’t your ordinary “ I’m going to rub my hands on your back until you feel better”. My care involves acupuncture, stretches, cupping, and more. After each session, he goes through exercises to do if there’s any strengthening/mobility that should be done, which I never really got from other professionals. Richard has really provided my body and I the relief it really needs, especially working as a nurse. He truly embodies his values of empathy, empowerment, and effectiveness. Moreover, the atmosphere of this place is quiet, comfortable, and welcoming. Good music! The rooms are small, but very cozy and relaxing to a point where you can fall asleep with 20 acupuncture needles in your back.

vanessa pisani

Richard is truthfully the best rmt I have ever had. Richard has amazing understanding and knowledge of what he is doing. Every time I see him he explains what is happening to my body and things I can do that will help, a lot of other rmt's I have seen do not do that. he cares about his clients and it shows! :) finally happy that I found the best rmt

The BusyGirl

It is a great honour to give this business a 5 star rating because Richard Lam is very knowledgeable and extremely AMAZING at what he does!

Jordan Matasaran

Came to Vital Wellness because I was experiencing some uncomfortable constant lower back and knee pain. Richard was very professional, welcoming had very good energy, overall had a great experience. He helped treat my constant pains and gave me advice on stuff that I could do at home by myself. In terms of atmosphere, the facility is brand new and very clean. It has a very open environment when it comes to dealing with customers such as myself. Richard introduced me to many ways in which I could go about dealing with tense muscles and even showed me acupuncture. I was skeptical at first about it since I have never tried it before, but he was very reassuring and professional about the experience which helped a lot. I would definitely recommend Richard Lam as an RMT to my friends and family and will be coming back for future treatments.

shampath ranjan

Excellent communication and follow up. Very knowledgeable and explains exercises in an easy to understand way.

Lannie Dam

I was feeling some pain in my shoulder, so I decided to come in for a massage, and was glad I did because it was a great experience! The staff were very nice and welcoming, and the clinic had a very nice atmosphere to it. The RMT was also very knowledgeable, explaining the process and benefits of the massage and how it would help with my shoulder. He even suggested a few stretches that I could do to help reduce the pain, which I really appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a massage!

Nevin Costiniano

I have only experienced professionalism good quality service at this location. Not only did I have great massage but I also learned how to better myself through helpful excerises. 100 percent would recommend to anybody

J Lam

Very clean place, Very professional service, the massage table very comfortable. Most important is that after the massage when I went home, the pain I was feeling was gone! I was able to sleep well at night after, since my neck was hurting so much before I went for a massage here. Richard's a very knowledgeable Massage Therapist, and I enjoyed the acupuncture as well. I definitely recommend him to anyone reading this review!

Jesse Singh

I had a nasty adductor strain, Richard was very helpful in getting me back to form. His Knowledge is impressive. He will get right to the origin of the pain/injury and will figure out any other underlying issues. Richard made me a excellent progressive rehab program. I was really impressed at his versatility (Acupuncture, cupping therapy, massage). 10/10 would recommend!

Hossein Gilanmorad

Richard is the best massage therapist I have ever had. He is extremely thorough and asks questions related to your injury. He works with you to give you best recovery possible. I have had many different therapists throughout the past 10 or so years and hands down Richard is the best! Knowledgeable and has a high sense of your ownership. Highly recommend him!

fran renaud

Very pleased I found Richard at Vital Wellness. He is extremely knowledgeable with therapeutic massage techniques as well as acupuncture. He helped identify issues I can work at strengthening for relief. I would highly recommended his excellent massage services. ????????

Sandy .L

Had an evaluation here earlier this week. I work a desk job and was experiencing some aches and tightness in my shoulders. I really noticed a change after the treatment, definitely felt more relaxed and mobile. I highly recommend the deep tissue massage. I was also impressed with the service and cleanliness of the clinic. I witnessed the RMT put new sheets on the table before my appointment, and properly sanitizing afterwards - I feel reassured knowing they are following the Covid-19 safety guidelines. Would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone interested in getting a massage, and they also do direct billing which is super convenient.

Annie K.

Richard was a very knowledgeable rmt that cared about his patient! I love the vibe of this clinic and you know you're in good hands as soon as you walk in

evelyn dayao

Richard is amazing! I work in the dental field for years and have chronic back pain, frozen shoulders, neck problems. Richard does wonders addressing my issues. Very professional and accommodating with my schedule. He goes the extra mile to send videos on exercises that would help. Location is easy to find, lots of parking spaces.

leena gibara

Richard is extremely knowledgable and I can tell he has a passion for his work. He takes time to assess and asks the right questions to deliver optimal service and quality care. He was able to relieve a lot of tension and knots I had in my upper back. I will definitely continue going to him. Highly recommend this place!

Brian Kurosky

Richard is an excellent Massage Therapist. The best I have experience. The combination of massage and acupuncture over a few sessions has resolved my shoulder issue's. Now he has to convince Mr. Ford to allow me to resume my 3 times a week swimming to seal the deal.

abicas1

Excellent experience all round. Richard took time to assess my pain issues and carried out a program including massage, acupuncture and exercise to address it.

Trung Nguyen

I've been going to see one massage therapist after another for the past year...4 different rmt's in the last 2 months before having a session with Richard today. Richard is very thorough, professional, and amazing at what he does! Especially if you are looking for someone that can help you with getting rid of your muscle knots. I've been dealing with these knots and aches for the last several years and I'm excited to finally find someone that I'm confident can help me fix these aches for good. For those worried about covid safety protocols, this is a very safe and comfortable environment. Thanks again Richard and I'm looking forward to scheduling another session with you soon!

Paulina Manuel

Richard is a fantastic therapist. He assesses the issues thoroughly and provides treatment and care that I’m comfortable with and that truly makes a difference. I would recommend this clinic to all of my friends and family!

Lisa T

I highly recommend this amazing and professional place. Richard is an amazing RMT! He helped a lot with my lower back pain, offered exercises, tips and tricks and is very friendly/educational. Thank you! Definitely found my go to massage place now :)

Anjali Patel

Vital Wellness has a very welcoming and comforting feel. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about the treatment or entire process. I definitely recommend this place for a massage!

Julie Manske

Richard is an amazing therapist who takes the time to listen, assess and come up with a plan for your treatment. He is thorough and attentive and follows up with exercises and ways to improve your overall health and well being. I definitely recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for therapist who really cares!

Kevin Lam

Clinic was very clean and took all the appropriate steps to ensure that everything was sanitized. Came in because I had issues with my calves, and the RMT was able to relieve some tension and show me exercises I should be doing to take care of them in the future. The RMT was very knowledgeable and was able to explain everything with great clarity. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who’s currently in need of a corrective massage!

Jordan S

I've been living with lower back pain for the past two years. Conventional medical interventions have not helped me and I did not want to go forth with surgery. I was recommended to Vital Wellness Centre by a friend and I am glad to have come here. First off, this clinic has really great COVID-prevention protocols in place which made me feel a lot safer. Richard (main RMT) was very professional and spent a lot of time understanding my pains and assessing my functions. After multiple rounds of treatment, I am happy to say that my back pains have subsided greatly. I usually come back to Richard every couple weeks or once a month for continued management, but he has also provided me with lots of stretches and exercises to do at home. The great part of this is that he has an Instagram page that demonstrates most of these, which I often refer back to. I definitely recommend this clinic if you're looking for an RMT.

Tony Palmisano

Great deep tissue massage... Richard is the only person I know who can get rid of my tension headaches and I feel great. He worked on my back and it feels amazing. Thank you
