Reviews of Northern Therapeutics Massage Therapy Clinic (Spa)

Richard Koechl

Both my wife and I have appreciated having Damien work out the problem areas that we face. My wife has had a knee problem which Damien helped rectify. In my case, I have a rotator shoulder problem which has required two visits. In both cases, his efforts and skill have made a noticeable difference in both the pain and manoeuvrability I have back. It may not be perfect, but his massage therapy has made a significant dent. Thanks again.

Damien is very knowledgeable and professional. I can definitely feel the difference since I started seeing him. A big plus for me: he listens to what you need, he is very accommodating and has very flexible hours which is vital for my work schedule - unlike many clinics in FSJ. 100% recommend him for therapeutic massage services.

Gabor Haris

Damian has been treating my back and ankle for the past couple of weeks. I have been seeing extraordinary improvements in both affected areas. He has always been very professional and down to the point. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a great therapeutic or relaxation massage.

Katherine Johnstone

Damian was extremely professional and efficient. His headache treatment was spot on and he took great effort to explain to me what was going to be done, and how. He often checked in with me throughout the treatment for signs of “bad” pain, and if I was okay. There was always open dialogue which went a very long ways for my comfort and experience. The short term “pain” was beyond worth the long term comfort of headache relief. I can’t recommend him enough!

Damian gives the BEST massages. He genuinely cares about his clients and listens carefully to what you need at the start of each appointment. He's professional, non-judgemental and works magic on your muscles. Highly recommend!

FSJ Bluenoser

I have been seeing Damian for years now. He has been the only masseuse that has been able to get rid of my aches and pains! You want deep therapeutic massage than he is a must. 5/5 every time. He is very friendly and accommodating.

Anthony Burke

Damian does great work! He has fixed my lower back and neck issues can’t thank him enough.

Woke up with horrible kink in my neck and sore back. One visit and I felt 100% by the 2nd day. Highly recommend this RMT

Keiffer Phipps

Awesome experience, easy and quick to get appointment; Covid precautions compliant and most of all.....he fixed the pain in my neck!!!

Harold Goodwin

Damien was very clear and honest about what I needed. Treatment was very painful but thorough and complete. I now have no more lower back pain. Before treatment I was in pain constantly.

Jatt Surrey

Damian fixed my lower back pain in one session. I was suffering for 3 months before seeing him and now I am on my path to full recovery. Very professional.

Anoop Kp

Looking forward...

Hunter Gibb

I always to to Damien if I need to be fixed. This is real therapy. He focuses on the problem area and fixes it. Every time.

Lindsay Lynn

Damian is the first R.M.T. that has made a long-lasting difference. His deep-tissue work hurts during the visit, but was well worth it in the end. I highly.recommend for anyone wanting to get fixed!

Ben Scholten

Mr Strepski's long term thinking approach and practice has benefited me very well as as he works to get me free of the need for care despite my poor treatment of my body. :)

Parsa Zandieh

I have gone to Damian many times over the past couple of years and he has been very good. He does a great job, acts professional, and I have never had any issues. One note for new customers which I found it important to know ahead of time is that Damian masters in deep tissue massage and fixing the root problems of your pain, so if you are looking for getting a massage only for relaxation and do not have any pain problems, let him know that at the beginning of the session so he can provide you with a relaxation massage (which he is great at as well).

Eric James

Often you are left a bit underwhelmed when looking for a deep tissue massage - not the case here. I asked for deep tissue - I got deep tissue. Good to have in FSJ.

Cameron Alexander

Ever since I was a child I've had chronic headaches, and absolutely nothing would cure them. I chalked it up to being active and not treating my body well. Every month prior to getting my first massage I had visited my chiropractor, and I would feel better for a week or two, and then my neck would settle back to its normal stiff state. Summer of 2019 I decided to get my first massage, and I had made an appointment with Damien. After my very first treatment I was 90% better. I have never known what it was like to not have 1-2 headaches per day, until now. Yes, deep tissue does hurt, a lot sometimes. To anyone who has chronic neck pain like I used to, I would highly recommend a deep tissue massage from Damien. It will be extremely tender for a day or 2. But after healing for the first few days, you feel like brand new. For long term pain relief, 10/10

Damian...highly skilled RMT. Understands perfectly and I couldn't recommend his therapy enough, how he has helped me. Hugely grateful!

Tracey Rutherford

Damien is very knowledgeable and his treatments are highly affective. I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain and sciatica for 7 years and after 3 treatments my pain levels are almost completely gone. No need for pain killers or nerve blocker medication. I am grateful for his expertise.

Janette Taylor

If you have issues that need to be resolved, Damian is your massuse. If you're looking for a foo foo spa treatment, go elsewhere and leave his slots open for those of us who appreciate his healing knowledge ????

Tyler Hadland

He has greatly increased my mobility and decrease my muscle aches. Well worth every visit

Rick Banack

Wow! The deepest massage I’ve ever had. He had me tapping out. Got a lot of movement back and the constant pain gone. Highly recommend

Tyson Badass

I came in barely able to bend over to put my socks on - my back was locked up and other than lack of mobility I was in considerable pain - two treatments later I was relatively pain free and my mobility increased 90 percent- this man knows his stuff

Susanna Hall

Highly HIGHLY recommend Damian’s deep tissue massage. I have suffered with neck, shoulder and back pain since a vehicular accident last fall... i honestly didn’t think there was much hope for recovery as massage therapy had never been effective for me in the past ...but he brought me back to full capacity so I could work 12 hr shifts and juggle 3 jobs, AND he improved functionality in areas that I didn’t even realize I was still compensating for from old muscle traumas that occurred in my past years as a competitive bodybuilder. I never write reviews but Damian’s work deserves recognition. Ten stars. Hands down.

Psalm 91

My mom had several massage sessions with Damian, she’s a masseuse herself so she’s very picky when it comes to massage, she tried going to different massage therapist before Damian, but so far Damian exceeds her expectations.

Princston Fraser

I have taken flights just to see this practitioner. I nicknamed him, “Gods Hands.” Yes he is that good. I have had a few injuries that Damian has worked on that have dramatically improved my quality of life, and getting back to the activities I love.

Jessica baillie

Go see this guy! He has strong hands and can manipulate tissue like a pro. I've been seeing Damian for over 2 months now and he has eliminated my lower back pain along with my headaches. I can't say enough about him and his motivation to help with my aches. Thank You!

I was very disappointed with my first session with Damien. I came in for my session early. He was late starting, even though I had filled out my paperwork ahead of time. He gave me a 45 minute massage when I paid for 60 minutes. I tried to explain the issues I was having and he kept cutting me off. I specified the areas I wanted help with on the paperwork and expressed this prior to starting the massage. Ultimately, I came in for a head to toe relaxation massage. He only worked on my back. Near the end of the session, I asked what time it was, as I was confused that he did not work on any other part of my body. When I brought this up, he said he did not review my full chart before starting. I was not relaxed the entire time. The lights were on full and the radio (98.5) was on with lots of commercials throughout. It was very unusual. I feel more tense and stressed leaving than when I walked in. I will not be going back. This was the worst experience I have had and I have seen many massage therapists over many years across the country.

Daena Wild

I have been to many massage therapists, and Damien is the best. He cares about his work, and also he cares about his clients. Highly recommend.

M Renaud

Good deep tissue kneeding Good convo. Wife and I both had good results

Jackie Friars

I have seen Damien 3 times and each time I have come away feeling that he directed his full attention on the issue at hand. Also, each visit has alleviated a large percentage of any discomfort that I was having. I will definitely be returning.

Tanner Germain

Positive results every visit, highly recommend. Been to many different Rmt's that i couldnt say the same.

Liudmila Brooks

The only one who could fix my back. I’m a hairdresser with an upper back pain. I wasn’t looking for relaxation massage but deep tissue that will fix the problem not delay it temporarily. So if you want to fix the problem I would recommend Damian

C M

Damian is very up front and honest about treatment plans and what to expect. Can it be painful? Yes. It has been, but I live in chronic pain daily and know from years of treatment before that the only way through the pain is through the pain. He will work at it to his best and aim to gain you mobility and function and long term relief in as few appointments as possible. When I went for chiropractic years ago, the treatment plan was 3 appointments per week for 6 months, then down to 2 thereafter. At $60/appointment. It was a huge money black hole and I never found results. Damian straight up considers that shameful and obviously not actually helpful. He wants people to get relief and not need to come back for exact same thing again. Go in there knowing that. Also go in there knowing this isn’t the kind of massage where you get your hair and nails done while you get a light hearted spa massage.... this isn’t fluffy stuff for fun.

Hi There

Not just relaxation, but heals body great with aches and pain, wont see anyone else.

Angela Loftus

Migraines of 33 years - GONE. Treatments are killers but results= magic. ????Thankyou, Damian. You have changed my life.????

riel allain

I have visited countless physios, massage therapist, and chiros. Damien was the first to fix my lower back. He also increased my shoulder mobility. The treatments are difficult, but money and time well spent.

John Philip

Damian is a fantastic massage therapist. It is hard to find a good deep tissue RMT and having tried multiple RMTs in different cities and towns in western Canada, I can truly say that Damian is the best I’ve found! I always make sure to stop by when I’m in FSJ. He focuses on treating root causes instead of just temporary fixes and has helped solve my back and shoulder pains. He is also flexible in scheduling which is much appreciated.

Jeff Kalb

Damien has been a big help with my shoulder. Its painful, don't get me wrong but its the only thing that has helped so far. Worth it.

Josh Wild

Damien is the bomb! He wants to fix all your problems, and I have had great success with all my visits. I have been running my legs off training, I have been going to many different physicians acupuncture, cupping, chiropractor ect.. And it's safe to say that the massages have been working the best. Even my chiropractor said "just keep going back to Damien, cause that is really working for yeah." I recommend this fella fosure!

Susie Hetenyi

Was having bad stress headaches. Two treatments and I feel much better. Treatment is not pleasant but it definitely works.

Darcy Gagnon

Very good massage therapist, well worth the visit,,im a repeat customer.

Elzbieta Krepa

I went to Damian because of my lower back pain and discomfort in my neck. After the third visit I feel a 95% improvement. It is amazing how quickly he was able to help me with my problems that I had for years. Up to now, he was the only able to help me. I find him very professional and down to the point. Therefore, I can recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking help for pain, or just to relieve tension.

Sandy Willson

At the end of 1 session I could lift my arms up and over my head. I couldn't do that for over a month. I tried acupuncture and exercise stretching. Nothing worked until Damian.

Natasha Brunet

He was really good and fit me in quickly. The deep tissue massage made it much easier for me to move.

qiang wan

Damian is very professional, enthusiastic, and passionate with his job. He listens to me and has a very efficient long term plan for my problems. Just after a few visits, my 20 year plus neck and should problems are being cured. I really appreciate his efforts that make me see the hope to be the younger myself.

Van Tay

Damian is an amazing massage therapist! I think it should say a lot that I don’t live in FSJ anymore and yet I prefer to drive there so I can get a massage from him. He knows his work and he always goes above and beyond in his treatment. I just wish I was closer so I could go to get a massage more often. I feel a lot of tension in my back and I always feel the tension all gone when I leave his place.

Penny Albrecht

Gets down to business! Have had better results in 2 treatments than multiple treatments with multiple disciplines ( massage, acupuncture, chiropractic) Thanks!

Alex Cassidy

5 stars - Thanks for all your help Damian. Highly Recommended!

Mickey Tremblay

Damian is very professional and his massage skills and wonderful advise got me back to pain free after my car accident.

Terryl Rondeau

I had great relief after my treatments with Damian for lower back pain. The treatment itself is painful, but, end result is well worth it. Thanks Damian.

Mason Maclean

Very effective and almost completely got rid of my back pain and had me working full days after only the first session.

Cade Blanchette

Went to Damian because I was having back pain and within 2 treatments I was back to 100% I also have also been seeing him for my rotator cuff injury which I’ve had for 14 months. I’m 1 treatment in and it’s already feeling better! Damian does very good work I would definitely recommend him!
