I was first treated by Rob Paradis of Hillside Massage Therapy in 2003 when he began taking appointments at the gym my husband and I were attending at the time. Since then; my husband and I have not gone to anyone else for treatement other than him or someone employed in his practice. We have followed him from his gym practice, to both his home practices and now to his new and much more central location on Bowen Road. Rob is incredibly knowledgeable in his craft and training. He is constantly striving to improve his skills and makes sure to enroll in courses available to him in order to do so. He has a vast knowledge in not only the anatomy necessary to perform his job but is always available to suggest physio exercises and stretches to perform at home in order to maximize the benefit of treatement provided. He is incredibly professional, open minded, light-hearted and sensitive to patients needs. He will always surprise you with his array of music playing in his treatement room depending on his daily mood.
He has always made me feel very much at ease and has always been incredibly responsive to aches and pains that required attention. If you are in need of some talk therapy he is always available to lend an ear and you can rest assured that it will be kept in the strictest of confidences.
It should also be known that Rob is trained in pregnancy massage. Throughout both my pregnancies I frequented his practice and his pregnancy pillow was a welcome addition to my expanding body.
With as busy as we all seem to be in life, I particularly enjoy the fact that I am able to make/cancel appointments online. With his newly expanded practice, it's also great that if you are not able to connect with him, you will surely be able to find a suitable appointment time with one of the therapists in his practice whom will provide you with the best treatement and care available.
A couple of added benefits are also that Rob is bilingual, fluent in French, and that he is also a Registered Massage Therapist which means you are able to submit your receipts to your extended health plan. He is often able to submit them on the spot for you as his practice is linked with a few extended health program providers.
You will not regret making Rob and his fellow Therapists part of your self/health care routine.
