Gracie Ang Deep Tissue Massage and Chinese Herbal Remedies

I have been very happy with the results that I have seen from Gracie Ang's treatments. Following a car accident, I had persistent pain and extreme stiffness in my lower back, as well as issues in my neck, hips and knees. This effected my ability to work, to participate in sports and the pain took away from my joy of life. The first treatment from Gracie provided a lot of pain relief, and after a few more visits the pain and tension in the back was completely gone, as well as the other trouble areas had been fixed. This was very impressive, as these issues had consistently bothered me for over a year before I went to Gracie for treatment. I also received benefits in circulation(eliminated tingly forearms and clammy hands and feet), quality of sleep, and overall energy and health. Now I can enjoy being physically active and playing sports pain-free again. I am very glad that my Chiropractic Dr recommended that I go to Gracie, otherwise I would still be suffering from the pain and other issues. I highly recommend Gracie's services to anyone who wants to enjoy a higher standard of health and wellness, and especially to those who are dealing with injury or persistent pain.

Just over a year ago I suffered trauma primarily to my head, neck and upper back due to a bicycle accident. I sought out treatment for myself and progressed to a point where I was better than I was when I started but I was still dealing with a lot of pain. I was also going through a lot of stress on a personal level, which coupled with my accident caused me to struggle on an emotional level too. There were times where I became anxious and depressed. I had always been very active and lived a very physical lifestyle both in my work as a landscaper over the years, and my recreational pursuits with my horses. I began to wonder if I would ever be able to get back to my normal life.Then I heard from a friend the amazing results he had experienced in his treatments with Gracie. He warned me that it hurts (a lot at times!) but the results he had achieved in just a few sessions were so worth it. I decided to seek treatment with Gracie myself.Gracie took so much time especially in the first couple of treatments to go over my past history of accidents, illness, injuries, nutrition, and exercise. Her approach encompasses all of these things together so that the body is able to be supported on all levels in order to achieve the goal of returning to wellness. I was asked to rate my pain in my injured areas before each treatment so that there was a point of reference.After my first session with Gracie, I was amazed to feel my pain levels drop in half. I looked forward to the hurt so good" massage

I've been to Gracie for 3 sessions now, and I feel much better than before! I had consistent migraines and headaches for the past couple of years, and also back pain that wouldn't go away and eventually radiated to my shoulders.When I went to Gracie the first time she explained to me all the things wrong with my spine which is causing pinched nerves up and down my back, and help me relive the pain and tension. After my first session I felt noticeably better, so I went back for more. I've been to many deep tissue massage places in my life but I can say for a fact that Gracie's treatment has been the most productive I've ever had. She also provides you with info about eating habits that prevents the human body to heal effectively, so she is definitely full of useful information.

Gracie is both gracious, thorough and extremely knowledgeable in her field of practice. I havebeen a patient of Gracies for the past year and with the tools she provided me I was able to change my overall lifestyle. Not only is she a phenomenal masseuse who offers a very unique holistic approach using diet and lifestyle modifications when assessing your Individual needs, but she also assists with you becoming a much healthier and happier you.Over the past year she worked very closely with me on many levels and slowly I was able to experience a complete restoration of health. I first came to Gracie with low energy levels and a sprained ankle from 6 years ago. I had visited many physiotherapists and unfortunately my ankle never improved and I was worried that I would never be able to run again, since I experienced so much pain on my right foot. After the first massage I was amazed at how much my foot had improved. After 4 massages my foot was strong and I was able to be as active as I once was. Gracie is a miracle worker, I cannot express to you how diligently I was trying to find a solution for my sprained ankle for the past 6 years and I feel incredibly grateful she was able to not only heal my ankle but also bring it back to maximum strength. Aside from my ankle, her massages helped with an overall change in my body, I no longer suffer from headaches, I have gained mental clarity and inner happiness.Gracie has exceeded my expectations, if you are looking for someone to teach you how to live a better quality of life through diet and lifestyle modifications, she is the massesuist to go to! Thank you gracie!

I have been a patient of Gracie’s for 18 months. I have suffered from chronic back and neck pain for most of my life. Gracie helped me with a better diet and regular massage. I was able to cease all medication including daily pills for gout almost immediately. Gracie is passionate about her vocation and truly believes in her powers of healing. She has certainly made a believer of me.

I visited Gracie after a number of years of trying different massage therapists to try to obtain relief from shoulder and ankle trauma from a fall 3 years earlier. After a few sessions I noticed significant relief of the pain and stiffness in those areas and also a good improvement in my neck mobility and improvement in lower back issues. I would recommend Gracie for anyone suffering from soft tissue damage.

I went to see Gracie as I was having TMJ and thoracic back pain that was limiting my life style. After two months of treatment my pain had been reduced from 8/10 to 2-3/10. The relief was profound. The deep massage I received and the dietary regime that Gracie recommended has improved both my pain level and my sense of general well being. I would not hesitate to recommended Gracie to anyone for relief of pain and improved health even to elderly people such as myself (aged 81).

I am a competitive athlete, and had been experiencing upper back muscle pain and severe tension for several years. I had been to chiropractor, and other athletic massage therapists, which provided temporary help. However, I felt like I needed something that would reach a deeper level of my muscles, and Gracie was able to relieve a great deal of my back tension, which helped me to swim freely again. I am very grateful for her help and would recommend her to athletes and non-athletes alike. Without her help, I probably wouldn't be able to compete in my upcoming races

I’ve been seeing Gracie for a little over a year and I wanted to write here to share my experience in hopes that helps others. Initially I came for chronic back pain that would flare up at least once a year for the last 10+ years. This would be debilitating 10/10 pain and when I saw Gracie I could barely move my neck and back. After a few meetings she got that under control and I got into a regular maintenance routine for prevention. It has been one year and I have had not had any intense pain like I had initially when I met Gracie. She has a holistic approach and takes everything into consideration. I had intermittent knee pain that I just lived with and because of her holistic approach she found deep tissue problems that I never mentioned to her. After focusing on those areas for a few visits, she fixed them to the point that I don’t feel any knee issues anymore. I never go to regular massage anymore because Gracie is very strong and does not give superficial surface massage. I believe strongly in the Tui-Na approach and not many have this skill, especially in Victoria. My thanks to Gracie for her help and I recommend her to anyone.

I came to Gracie for high levels of chronic lower back pain, tightness in my shoulders and neck, tight hips. With Gracie's help, I have cut down all my pain down to 0 and significantly reduced my tightness. Gracie has improved my quality of life and everyone says that my face is looking brighter and I am happier without all the pain and tightness. She is always professional, is tidy, and uses the cleanest sheets. Thank you Gracie for helping me.
