Chang's

[Tayler F]

Went over there recently for a massage, as my back, hips and legs were all giving me more-than-usual pain. The very pleasant "Juliette", a Chinese woman of unknown age (could be 30, could be 40) took care of me well in a very relaxed atmosphere. I showered first, then into the very clean room with massage table and soothing music playing in the background. Warm towels placed over my back as I'm face-down on the table, then a very deep massage began using some kind of oils. My neck, shoulders, but specially my lower back and legs (which I had explained to her were my main points of soreness) were all slowly and meticulously kneeded. There were fingers, palms, elbows all being used to great effect to get my muscles massaged very deeply, as well as some actual walking on my lower back, upper leg and buttock areas. The hot towels were at some point replaced by very hot but wet towels which felt incredible on my aching back and legs. My calf muscles were also massaged to great effect, and I also received a very good foot massage with the oils as well. Everything ended "happily", including a final sort of skull-and-temples massage... Then off to the hot shower again to rinse off the oils. I left much more relaxed than when I went in, promising to return in a couple of weeks.

cost: $70 for 45 minutes (plus a little tip*)

Is Chang licensed MP?

Thanks, Simon, for the update. I have only met Shirley, time to check out Juliette.

Answers: 1. No, not a licenced place 2. Juliette is very accommodating, even asking if she should "check under the hood" ...which I respectfully declined (not my thing).

Chang's definitely is licensed as a Holistic Clinic!

Not licensed as a Body Rub but, then, it is not a body rub nor does it pretend to be.

I have been going there for years and I think it is, without doubt, the best massage in town... or tied with TuiNa, on Yonge Street, for the honour!

planning on trying juliet on payday........

I have very disaapointing experience. I called Shirly and got an appointment for an hour just for good massage, reached there after driving an hour from Burlington. On arrival, I was told by Shirley that they got another appoitment. I asked then so what... She told me that I can stay for 25 min or Juliet will take care for an hr. I said ok for Juliet as I just wanted a good massage. She started massage but after 15 min some chinese discussion happened between both ladies across the door. After that she started turbo gear and told me that she is finishing ealry as a cusotmer form USA is waiting. I asked but I have booked this time. She keep saying in broken english "... that customer is from USA so she have to cut short....". So I left early.....

I came on conclusion that experience with Amy's Therapy is far better than Chang. Amy deals much better and no rush (although Massage is same quality). At least she have ethics.

Amy gives a great massage,she is a first class business woman.Once i called her and she was on her way home and came back to do an appointment,now that is not something you will see everyday!

That shit drives me crazy. Unlike Shirley to do that, but if true, uncalled for.
