What Workshop Port Moody Massage Therapists Offer:

- Your treatment plan will include specific areas of your body where they’ll be working with the rest of your body covered to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.
- The ability to communicate at any point what you’re comfortable with and what areas they don’t have your consent to treat. You are also welcomed to ask questions before, during, or after your treatment.
- While checking in, your therapist will invite you to communicate the preferred pressure of your massage. If at any time you’re in pain or would like more pressure applied, just let your therapist know.
