Testimonials

  • "I suffered from lower back pain for a few years complaining to my doctor several times to no avail. When it kept getting worse I went to my chiropractor and after 15 visits the pain worsened, so I asked for an x-ray. It showed lower spinal scoliosis. My doctor, and the neurologist he sent me to suggested spinal surgery. But the waiting list for that operation is anywhere from 6 to 18 months and meanwhile the pain kept getting worse. Through a friend, I was introduced to traditional Thai massage. Khwan said that she couldn't correct the scoliosis but thought she could reduce the pain I was having through a series of treatments with deep massage of the ligaments, tendons & muscles, along with a specific exercise regime. No one else offered me this. In only a few treatments while following the exercise regime she had laid out for me, my lower back pain was reduced to a tolerable level. As an added bonus, my neck and shoulder stiffness and pain have all but disappeared. I am still seeing Khwan and plan to continue for some time yet, but I wanted to thank her publicly for being such a caring person and for giving back some semblance of a normal existence."

  • "Haven’t experienced a Traditional Thai Massage yet? Here’s what it does for me, -- One of Khwan’s massages removes any tensions that I had brought with me to the session, and instead provides me with a great sense of overall well-being. The additional benefits include a great reduction in lower back pain that has plagued me for years, as well as a reduction in stiffness and discomfort in my knees. Also I have noticed a good deal less ankle and foot aches and pains, especially at night since I’ve started a series of these stimulating massages. If she can do this for me, - a “senior - senior citizen”, - just think what she can do for you! Right here in Mississauga too!"
