Explore Our Massage Treatments
Knead offers the full range of massage and wellness services across all three Vancouver studios. Here is what is available and who each treatment is designed for.
The RMT.
The Body.
Starting at $90
Body massage in Vancouver at Knead targets the full back, shoulders, arms, and legs. Our therapists work through deep layers of muscle and connective tissue to break up chronic tightness, improve posture, and release tension that builds from desk work, training, or Vancouver's pace of life.
Starting at $100
Registered massage therapy is the therapeutic foundation of every Knead service. Our RMTs are CMTBC-licensed and trained to assess and treat chronic pain, postural dysfunction, sports injuries, ICBC motor vehicle accident claims, and the full range of musculoskeletal conditions. Meet our registered massage therapists.
Starting at $47
Foot reflexology at Knead is rooted in a Korean therapeutic tradition that most Vancouver studios do not offer. Systematic pressure applied to reflex zones on the feet produces whole-body recovery effects - supporting circulation, immune function, and the systemic release of tension that standard foot massage cannot reach through the feet. It is consistently one of Knead's most-requested services, and one of the primary reasons clients choose us over other Vancouver clinics. Discover what makes our foot reflexology different.
The Combo.
Starting at $130
Get the full Knead experience. Start with targeted foot reflexology, then move into a full-body massage. Our most comprehensive option — ideal for those who want true head-to-toe recovery in a single session.
The Foot.

Why Massage Therapy Matters for Your Health
Massage therapy is recognized for its ability to support both physical recovery and everyday relaxation. Professional massage treatments help restore balance within the body by improving circulation, releasing muscular tension, and encouraging the body's natural recovery processes.
Many people seek massage therapy in Vancouver to address concerns such as:
Tight, knotted neck and shoulder muscles
Chronic lower back tension
Muscle soreness following exercise or training
Stress-related tightness that builds up over time
Stiffness caused by prolonged sitting or desk work
Massage works by encouraging overworked muscles to release built-up tension while improving blood flow to surrounding tissues. Over time, regular sessions help maintain flexibility, reduce the physical effects of daily stress, and support overall well-being.
Massage Therapy Services We Offer
Our clinics offer a full range of massage therapy services designed to address different physical needs and wellness goals. Each treatment is delivered by skilled therapists in a calm, professional setting.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage focuses on calming the nervous system while gently relieving muscular tension throughout the body. This treatment is ideal for individuals dealing with stress, fatigue, or general muscle tightness, and is one of the most popular services we offer in Vancouver.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to address chronic tension and improve mobility. This technique is well-suited for clients with persistent tightness, postural issues, or areas of long-standing muscular discomfort.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed to support recovery after physical activity and help reduce muscle soreness associated with training, exercise, or athletic performance. Vancouver's active population makes this one of our most in-demand services.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle, rhythmic techniques to support circulation within the lymphatic system, helping to promote detoxification, reduce swelling, and encourage recovery.
