The practitioners at the V. I. Pain Clinic are committed to providing the highest quality Structural Integration massage based private health care to the Nanaimo - Vancouver Island area. We have been helping clients from our current location for the past 15 years. Our clients range from very young children to seniors who are looking for a natural alternative massage for their health problems.

No injections or drugs, just hands on manual therapy (massage) done with the client clothed, respecting the depth of touch needed. Our clinic works with clients who have acute conditions up to the most difficult chronic problems, even if you have been everywhere else for help. The style of massage used in the clinic is based on Structural Integration.
Services
Is a form of connective tissue manipulation (massage) based on the fact that the body is 'plastic' or changeable. Deep-Tissue Massage is for clients that do not want to invest in the "Recipe" or have completed a ten session series. Our version of "on site chair massage" consists of loosening of the back/neck/shoulders, starting superficially and then working deeper, paying attention to those areas that need it.
A: NO, If you do it properly, the client has a relaxing, calming experience. Our clients routinely fall asleep during a session, sometimes waking themselves up from a snore. It is called massage but sometimes referred to as bodywork. Bodywork is a generic category of manual therapies that help to restore proper function to the body.

Best experience. I limped in to see them and a couple sessions later I'm healing. Still a way to go as I have a spinal cord injury but I will keep going back.

Bought my husband two island daily deal vouchers for Christmas. He has bad shoulder pain, so I was hoping they could help. Long story short, it was the worst money I have spent. The older man helped him, he fell asleep on my husband for several minutes during his first visit, at the end when he was leaving, the man just stood there silently didnt give any input or advice as to how to help alleviate the pain or anything. Because I had bought him two he had to go back unwillingly. He was hoping maybe the guy had a long day and was just not into it and would be better on the next visit. He was wrong

The best I have had. I have been to many therapists and Carl was by far the best. He was able to get in deep but not cause more pain. Would highly recommend seeing him.

Graham is the best. It's not your traditional massage and is more along the lines of rolfing, which is getting deep into the muscle layers to really release tension.

I requested Graham and was rewarded. He is both knowledgeable and intuitive. I booked another session for next week. Highly recommended.

I bought a coupon on daily deals. Made the appointment just before Christmas. I didn't realize I had double book an appointment till it was
holidays and they were closed. When I called on Tuesday morning to change dates I was rudely told I needed 24 hours notice. Too bad so sad. It was Christmas after all. Not a good way to treat a probable new client. So I told Carl (not sure) to keep the money. I will let Daily Deals know. F. Claybo

Bought an island daily deals for a 1 hr deep tissue massage; when I called to book, the gentleman answered the phone 'hello'.. I was able to book in a day or so but when I arrived; no hello just handed me a form to complete. Then asked me to come into the room; asked what I was here for... performed the massage but ZERO bed side manner. Would I go back?.. HELL NO
