I have been a happy client here for a couple years now. Professional friendly staff, beautiful new space and a good dose of deep, thorough, and effective massage. Would recommend Past Tense to anyone on the drop of a dime. I had my first visit to Past Tense yesterday and had my first Prenatal massage with Stan.

I had my first visit to Past Tense yesterday and had my first Prenatal massage with Stan. He was fantastic! I have been having some aches and pains from my pregnant and Stan addresses all my concerns. He was professional, courteous and a wonderful RMT! It was the best massage I have ever had! Thank you, Stan!

I highly recommend Past tense Massage Therapy. They have excellent COVID protocols, including a very clean space and an easy to use treatment screening process. I've had three massages with Johnathon due to a sore back from online work and he has provided relief as well as education for prevention. I will be back for sure!

The best RMT Massage I've had so far! Came here for my chronic left neck, shoulder, and upper back pain, and I've never felt so relieved from it in such a long time! I had Roni Barg and he's great! Very skilled and knowledgeable therapist. He paid attention to my concerns and took his time to work on my tense and painful muscles, and knows exactly where and how to do it. Also, there are lots of free parking spots close to the back of the building, which is great on non-busy days in Steveston. Highly recommended!!

I have been seeing Carina Spano for several years to help soreness and tension. She has helped so much with my shoulder pain and mobility. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an RMT. The clinic is very clean, quiet, and offers a relaxing atmosphere.

Never seen an RMT before today, and thanks to Roni I had a great first experience. He was very professional, skilled and knowledgeable. I came in with a stiff shoulder problem that I've had for a long time and left with my shoulders feeling relaxed for the first time in years. I definitely recommend Roni and would use his services again.

As someone very new to massage therapy, I was thrilled with my visit to Past Tense Massage Therapy. I will definitely be making another visit. Niki was clearly very skilled as she took a full lead on delegating time to critical areas, additionally she did a fantastic job at making me feel comfortable and relaxed. A+

Stan is an excellent Massage Therapist. I have a couple different injuries and find it hard to get treatment that makes an actual difference to my chronic pain. Stan listened to me and asked a lot of good questions before working on me, this helped him identify the best way to treat me. I felt great after each treatment and will continue to seek treatment from Stan whenever I’m in need. I would recommend Stan without hesitation. I have been to so many RMTs at various locations over the last few years and it felt like my back was always so sore, until I started seeing Stan! He is full of knowledge

I have been a client of Past Tense Massage Therapy for several years now, and cannot speak more highly of their treatments. The therapists are always professional yet personable, discreet, thorough and sensitive to their client's needs. I have recommended this team of excellent therapists to several friends, and would not hesitate to do so in the future.

I have been visiting Past Tense for a number of years and each of the therapists I have seen are professional and skilled. Now I mainly see Chelsea, who has experience with a variety of techniques perfect for me. I look forward to my weekly time with her not just to work out the kinks, but as a cherished time of self care. I also appreciate that the environment is clean, welcoming and tastefully decorated (not like a medical clinic). Booking is easy and the location in the heart of Steveston is convenient.

I really like going to this place. I am new to the area but with the map I found it. I found the people were nice to me and I like all the colours and the rooms are comfortable. It seems like the people here like what they do and have done good job each massage for me and my husband. I tell my therapist when I need more or less pressure and find them all good listeners. We both need massage for bad backs and hard physical jobs, and am happy know this place. Best of all my insurance covers most of the treatment.
