Massage near Hatchet Lake

“Absolutely wonderful staff and I felt amazing vibes the moment I walked through the door.“

“MOVE Physio is fantastic, I've seen Kylie many times for a few different injuries over the years and she's always lovely to work with. She makes sure to fully understand the problems, treat it at the clinic, and ensure that I have everything I need to train at home to overcome my injuries. I have also seen Sydney for massages and I find she's fantastic for dealing with specific issues, especially sports-related!“

“I was experiencing shoulder pain while warming up for my badminton matches, so I went to Lifemark at the Canada Games Centre. I was treated by Drashti Parikh (PT Resident, MPT, BPT), who gave me a targeted sequence of exercises. The pain disappeared completely and never came back during my training.

A few months later, I started feeling a different type of shoulder pain while cycling for more than an hour. I returned to the clinic and saw Drashti again. She provided another set of exercises, and the pain is gradually improving.

I am very grateful to this clinic and to Drashti for their care and professionalism. The service has been excellent, and I highly recommend them.“

“Great first visit. Very thorough pre massage. Lots of great info after massage. Excellent experience.“

“Ezequiel Finkielsztein is an exceptional physiotherapist who played a key role in my full recovery from a back injury. His gentle, patient, and highly knowledgeable approach made each session both effective and comfortable. He explained every step of the process clearly, ensuring I understood the purpose behind each exercise, and his encouragement kept me motivated throughout. I am now completely pain-free and back to my normal activities, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking top-quality physiotherapy care“

“Made an appointment with the team at Key due to issues I was having with my neck and my knees. They took me in without a doctor’s referral. I had gone through many massage therapy sessions, seen an Osteo and a previous physiotherapist and had no success. Words can’t describe how well the owner Mark look after me along with the other members of the team Christine, Ryan and Kayleigh. They were always so accommodating, friendly, positive and determined to find solutions. Shockwave therapy works wonders and I highly recommend it to anyone who has had chronic issues with pain, especially if you’re an athlete, have a physically demanding job or have any hobbies that involve strenuous activities. Can’t thank everyone enough who works here for going above and beyond to help me get back to a place where I could play drums again without any knee pain. I highly recommend Key Physio to anyone that has been struggling to find solutions to chronic/acute pain or injuries.“

“As a health practitioner locally in HRM I'm always asked if I have any recommendations for other practitioners. Personally it's the easiest recommendation I can make. Emily is not only an amazing person, but also an amazing professional who I couldn't recommend more. Her "oh my gua sha" treatment is mind blowing but she's amazing with any issue. I've had multiple areas worked on in the past and it's always helped immensely. To have her passing on her vibes/style to the rest of the team, you're sure to be in good hands no matter who you see here!“

“5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had microneedling done at this spa and I absolutely loved my experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained. The staff was incredibly professional Hannah made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The microneedling treatment itself was amazing everything was explained thoroughly, and the procedure was done with such care and precision. I appreciated how clean and hygienic everything was, which made me feel even more confident in the process. Highly recommend this spa for anyone considering microneedling or any treatments. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I've been going there for several years on and off as needed. From the receptionists to the physiotherapists, they are welcoming, kind and always work for your improvement. Absolutely no complaints ?“

“They are very knowledgeable and the space has good vibes ? I went in for a wrist sprain, hypermobility issue, but I will probably go back when I have issues with my hip again and if I have another labrum tear.“

“I was experiencing muscles tightness in my legs that began to diminish my ankle mobility. Nic helped me regain mobility with the use of dry needling and targeted exercises. Overall it was a great experience and I would 10/10 recommend!“

“I’ve been attending the clinic for physiotherapy over the past few months, and the experience has been transformative. I’ve seen remarkable improvements in my condition, thanks to the exceptional care provided by my therapist, Jennifer. Her expertise, personalized approach, and genuine dedication have been instrumental in my progress. She listens attentively, tailors each session to my needs, and always encourages me to push forward while ensuring I feel supported. The clinic itself is welcoming, clean, and well-equipped, creating a positive environment for recovery. Additionally, the staff’s professionalism and the flexible scheduling make every visit seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this clinic, especially Jennifer, to anyone seeking top-notch physiotherapy care!“

“My partner and I have been visiting The Floatation Centre since 2023, and it’s genuinely one of the most magical places I’ve ever set foot in. Every corner is sprinkled with thoughtful, whimsical decor.

The hosts are absolutely incredible—so warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in your well-being. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, they take the time to check in with you before and after your treatment.

The whole space is clean, soothing, and packed with items from local small businesses to shop from and TFC merch too!
The lounge area is so cozy, calming, and stocked with tea, fresh water, and even post-float crafts.

We have tried several services so far:
✨ Flotation Tank — A deeply restorative experience.
? Sauna — Incredible, best sauna room I have ever been to.
? Acupuncture with Em — Life-changing. I was nervous about acupuncture at first, but Em immediately put me at ease. They were kind, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. They asked all the right questions, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt safe and comfortable throughout. Their care is gentle, intuitive, and deeply effective. I’m three sessions in and already seeing huge improvements in my symptoms—it’s honestly shocking how much has changed. Plus, Em is just a beautiful human being and an absolute joy to be around.
? Massage Therapy - (Major update) I had a session with Venus for the very first time and it was mind-blowing. I can't find good enough words to describe how skillful Venus is and the care and amount of relief I felt... Speechless, THANK YOU!
? Floaty Feet with Virgil — Truly a hidden gem. You have to try this. Virgil has such a calm, grounding energy, and his skill is out of this world. I didn’t realize how much tension my feet and calves were holding until I experienced that incredible relief.

In short... The Floatation Centre is a treasure, more people should know about. A space for healing, comfort, and reconnecting with yourself. Whether you're going for a float, a massage, or just a moment of quiet—you’re in the very best hands here. I can't recommend this place and it's people enough!“

“Excellent as always. But also a day in which I was forced to cancel at a late date, and every attempt was made to re-schedule, without penalty. I very much appreciate Judith Abbot’s expertise, and Amanda’s scheduling skills.“

“I just had my second massage with Shannon. She works magic! I was having upper back pain/neck and 1-2 migraines a week in my 2nd trimester. After one massage no more upper back or neck pain, and lower frequency and duration of migraines. The set up is great for belly and tender bits during pregnancy. Would highly recommend! I plan to continue with Shannon for massage for the duration of my pregnancy. She is absolutely wonderful.“

“Mallory’s neck massage techniques are very soothing. The movements are unlike anyone I’ve been to, some similarities of course, but over all I really like her approach for neck massage. I felt like her attention to detail was good.“

“I’ve been coming to Active Approach for 6 years. Mostly for maintenance but I walked in there with a cane and in pain 6 years ago, I walked out 30 days later with no pain and no cane. Dr. Quattrocchi listened to me and was able to relieve enough pain and help in my recovery. Always great friendly staff working at the front.“

“Dr. Anna D’Intino is truly the epitome of professional naturopathic doctors. Her personal yet professional nature puts you at ease right away and she makes you feel like you are part of her family. Her gracious care and thought she puts into your health and wellbeing is second to none. She went the extra mile to research my syndrome and provided a new approach for my ongoing maintenance and strength. She is also an excellent listener. You will not be disappointed with her wonderful care and guidance.“

“Dr. Mackay is the best. 10/10 Adjustment every time. My back is so grateful for her. The three massage therapists are all wonderful as well you can not go wrong with any of them. Schedule an appt asap. you will not regret it.“

“I had a massage therapy with Jenna. It was amazing experience. Staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Ryan is a wonderful Physiotherapist. He is so easy going and calm you feel comfortable talking to him from the first moment .Great at explaining your problems as well as solutions and treatments to help you heal. He is kind and gentle and provides quality care with a fun atmosphere.“

“I had a wonderful experience with Serena Dixon today. She was incredibly professional, friendly, and took the time to explain every detail about the session including how each part would benefit me. Before starting, she asked if I had any previous injuries and explained how they could have happened, along with helpful tips on how to prevent them in the future. I really appreciated how thorough she was and how comfortable she made me feel throughout the session. The massage itself was amazing, and I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. I’d definitely go back there and highly recommend her!“

“I’ve been doing acupuncture with Murat for over a year now and he’s honestly the best! Non comparable to any other acupuncture treatment I’ve done. Highly recommended!!“

“Coming from an athletic background, I can say with confidence that these guys know what they're doing. Excellent instructors. Flawless equipment. Encouraging atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend for anyone regardless of fitness level.“

“Kirsten has become an integral part of my physical and mental health care system. Every visit is responsive to where I am when I arrive. Every massage leaves me better equipped to handle the demands of being a busy mom and teacher. Kirsten takes such care and such pride in ensuring that every attention is on a beautiful quality service every visit.“
