I have been going to Jonathan for service for more than 10 years now. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and always tries his best to accommodate my schedule. He continues to try new technique and is innovative.

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.
