Have seen a few different RMTs and I can honestly say Daniel is the best! I came in for a TMJ Massage and he really focused on all the areas he felt needed some extra attention. He pointed out a couple different issues that I didn't even know about and definitely helped fixed though. 10/10 highly recommend

Daniel is a very skilled RMT. I have chronic shoulder pain and within a couple of sessions he has eased a significant amount of tension and pain in my shoulders. He listens to my concerns and makes me feel safe from start to finish. I highly recommend him as an RMT!

Daniel has been "my" RMT for 10 years, and he has always been GREAT! Professional, a good listener...combined with his extensive training, he has an uncanny ability to know how perfectly to treat every conundrum my weary body has presented. Massage has been part of my regime for self-care for 40 years, and Daniel is THE BEST RMT I've ever worked with!

Daniel has set the bar high for massage therapy in Vancouver. His space is immaculate and beautifully decorated, and his health and safety standards are beyond measure. Daniel massages intuitively, is attentive to details, and constantly communicates to ensure comfort and optimize technique. I recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a high-quality massage. There's no one else like him in the city.

I recently received a 75 minute registered massage from RMT Daniel Farkas at his Robson Massage studio. Daniel ensures that each client is healthy and, given our context, had me complete a form to tick off all the boxes to verify that my visit would be safe. Once I arrived at his studio, there was a notice on the door to text him to let him know I had arrived. I was welcomed into the studio and Daniel asked about the focus of the massage, following up on information I had shared online when making the booking. The massage, with a focus on back, hips, shoulders, was effective. It was deep as it needed to be, and just the right pressure. From time to time, Daniel asked about the pressure as was appropriate. His studio, which is in a heritage building in downtown Vancouver, is a great setting, with art deco accents. The massage was excellent. I highly recommend getting a massage at Robson Massage Therapy with Daniel Farkas.

I highly recommend Reset Massage. Daniel has exceptional massage skills. He is an excellent practitioner who genuinely cares about his clients’ health. He takes the time to carefully identify the root causes of aches and pains, rather than just treating the symptoms. His approach is thoughtful, effective, and hands-on in the best sense. What truly sets him apart is his ability to provide practical recommendations for strengthening. I left each appointment feeling better, with a clearer understanding of how to support my own recovery and overall well-being.
