There are many types of massage therapy and bodywork. Each practitioner brings their own background and style to their work. One could say that there are as many types of massage as there are massage therapists. As a client, you may experience many massages before you find the right match, and your right match may change over time.
Even though the massage experience is unique to you, it may be helpful to know what others have said. Here are some reviews from clients:

“After having reached a breaking point with some pain issues, I decided to seek out massage therapy as part of a holistic approach. I'm so happy I found Concordia Wellness.

Highly recommended and appreciated.” - Teresa N., July 2017

“After waking up with a sore neck, I contacted Concordia Wellness . . . I'm used to massages that involve a certain amount of pain, but Kim's philosophy is quite different.

My neck's mobility is much improved and the pain is almost completely gone . . . I'll definitely be back again.” - Elisabeth F., April 2016
