Crooks & Co.

The first thing I want to say is I only take the time to give reviews when I feel like I've had an extremely great experience that needs to be recognized. And this place 100% deserves so much credit. I have been to a lot of RMT's, physios, chiropractors, etc.as I have multiple issues with my body, but have only seen minimal, if any, improvement. After just one session with Garfield, I honestly feel that I can finally be relieved of the pain I've been in for so long. He has so much knowledge and expertise, and I felt completely comfortable with him right from the beginning. He has a great energy and you can tell he really cares about his patients. I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes of all my problems when I start working with him on a consistent basis. Thank you Garfield for giving this frustrated girl some relief and hope!

Great experience. Very attentive and knowledgeable.

Warm welcome and good discussion in line to establishing the goals for the treatment.

Next steps were clear and are helping to increase performance of the body.

Garfield is an INCREDIBLE RMT. He truly cares about the well being of his clients and his space is wonderful. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for treatment and wanting to feel better

Garfield is highly knowledgeable; excellent diagnostician; provides superb treatment and simple easy to understand exercises for at home maintenance.highly recommend.

Crooks is hands down the best RMT I’ve ever seen. I actually stumbled upon Crooks and Co.by chance and I’m grateful that I did. During our initial appointment, Garfield was thorough, knowledgeable and informative. He has a level of skill & attention to detail that surpasses most. It wasn’t until I had been seeing Garfield for a couple weeks that I took the time to truly look at his website/credentials & I must say that I concur with the other 112 five star ️️️️️ reviews to date. I would definitely recommend Garfield to family and friends.

I highly recommend Crooks & Co.
I am genuinely amazed by Garfield's extensive knowledge and genuine care as a therapist, having tried numerous professionals both in Vancouver and abroad.
The session with him left me feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated, as if I were a brand new person.

Garfield was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. He took his time to get to know my personal needs and did a thorough initial appointment and I felt very comfortable and confident in his abilities.
Highly recommend Garfield.

Garfield is a next level RMT. His skill and knowledge are far above any RMT that I have gone to. I feel very lucky to have someone with his skill set near by. He is great at getting to the root of your problem, treating it, and getting you back out doing the things you love to do.

Garfield is an incredible RMT. He's friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough! Highly recommend if you're looking for an RMT to help with ROM, pain, tightness, etc. This is not a relaxing massage, but guaranteed you'll come out feeling so much better.

I have always been sceptical of RMT for sports injuries and chronic pain. But with some stubborn issues that weren't improving with physio and chiro, decided to try Garfield after recommendations from several people. He has exceeded all my expectations and while his rates are not cheap, his treatment is worth every penny. He is incredibly professional and does a thorough assessment of your issues and biomechanics before starting his treatment. I truly appreciate his quality of care and depth of experience, and the extra time he takes to share stretches and exercises to get me back to the activities I love.

My massage with Garfield was probably the most thorough I have ever had. He really knows what he's talking about when it comes to the body, movement and muscles. Really great if you are looking for some deep tissue and fascia work. Thanks Garfield!

First class service and treatment from Garfield Crooks. One can easily tell he has many years of experience dealing with professional athletes and their ailments. One of the best massage therapists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Garfield is caring, knowledgeable, and thorough - from assessments, sessions, and practice recommendations. His expertise and compassion are greatly appreciated and recommended!

I just had an amazing first visit here and they truly exceeded my expectations. It felt like they honestly took the time to listen to me and assess my body before they treated me. The approach from the RMT and the whole vibe at the studio was very comfortable for me. I'm in the process of rehabilitating my leg from a major sports injury and it really feels like they could take me farther with my recovery than other places I've gone.

Thanks again and see you soon!

Garfield is the best RMT out there. I have had back, neck and shoulder issues for decades and seen many "professionals". He is the one who actually relieved, healed my body issues and does the necessary work so one's body can stay pain free and move in ways one's body should move. I could go and on but Garfield IS the best. I am a busy person: mom, runner, student and work.and seeing Garfield is a treat for me!

Garfield is great! He provided an initial assessment and massage as well as a number of recommendations for improving my overall health (physical and mental). He is a true care giver and I look forward to more treatments over the coming months.

My initial massage with Garfield was one of those most thorough assessments I've received prior to a massage. He was super knowledgeable, explained everything, and was able to pinpoint problem areas. The massage itself was amazing - I experienced a noticeable decrease in pain and tightness and my range of motion increased after just one massage. I would highly recommend seeking him out for treatment!

I would absolutely recommend Garfield, especially to anyone who is an athlete or dealing with a sport related injury. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but also takes the time to get to know each client individually. His initial assessment was very thorough and he quickly identified my imbalances/areas of concern. Afterwards he took the time to run through my exercises with me to make sure that I properly understood them. He is a fantastic RMT and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future!

Garfield has been referred to me as one of the best RMTs in the world. I am currently in BC for a training camp so I couldn’t miss this opportunity to see him!
After only one session, I can tell that Garfield is a mindful person who takes his time with his patients.
I really really enjoyed my experience.
Thank you Garfield!

I was very impressed with the very high level of expertise and thorough examination Garfield brought to my massage therapy session. He narrowed in on issues no other RMT has pinpointed. I have hope of a genuine transformation in my physical health. Garfield did not promise this but he is committed to aim for this end goal.

Garfield was such a pleasure to meet. He was professional, warm and such an easy person to talk to, almost like I’ve known him my whole life. He took the time to really listen and then educate me. While doing all of this, he also was also immediately able to target the areas that were bothering me. He is highly skilled and makes you feel like a part of the process. I highly recommend seeing him.

Would give more than 5 stars if I could! I went in to see Garfield with intense tension and pain in my neck and shoulders and going into my head causing really bad headaches. Within one visit with Garfield, I was feeling about 90% better and after the second appointment all my pain was gone. He is extremely thorough and really cares about the well being of his patients. If you have any pain or sports injuries, I definitely recommend seeing him! He's a very genuine person and gave me tools and tricks to take home to improve my situation on my own. 12/10!

I can sign under every single review left here for Garfield: hands down the best treatment I've ever received.
Highly recommend Crooks & Co.

Best Sports Massage ever. Garfield is very professional and demonstrates easily his expertise at having worked with world class athletes. I do not hesitate to recommend Garfield and in fact encourage people to book an appointment.

Mind blown! Garfields treatment is by far the best rmt I’ve had. His comfortable personality and vast knowledge really let me relax. I came out feeling better than I have in years. Yes after my first treatment. This is my new spot. Thanks crooks and co! See you soon!

Dada was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. Absolutely love her massage she is very skilled and focused on areas where i am tight and applied the right pressure. She also thoroughly explained what was going on dada is also known in my books as magic hands:) her skilled massage takes it to another level of healing rejuvenation and relaxation she applies right amount of pressure and her knowledge in nutrition gives over and above services her caring attitude to get results offers over and above service i would highly recommend her to anyone if they want results someone who cares to do her best efficiently and caring to create optimum holistic health

I have been in pain for the past 3 months, and after two appointments with Garfield, I am finally feeling better! He is one of the best massage therapists I have ever seen in terms of addressing specific complaints. He listens to you and is focused on getting you better. If you are looking for deep tissue and pain relief, this is your guy!

In addition, Crooks and CO has handled COVID-19 with grace and care. The studio is kept extremely clean and he is careful to follow all protocols to make sure everyone is safe.

I have been coming to Garfield for many years now and his massages have been the most effective when recovering from an injury and overall maintenance. He is extremely knowledgable and is able to treat people from athletes to dancers. I look forward to our visits and I always leave feeling great.

I have seen Dada several times and it's it's like she knows where the pain is before I even tell her. Once she locatesylocated pain she has a beautiful way of working the affected area and surrounding areas to really untangle those knots. After leaving your body responds differently and you realize how your body is supposed to be functioning.

I have been seeing Dada for few years, and she has helped me resolve so many issues. She is excellent at what she does, and has helped me so much with chronic neck & shoulder issues. I highly recommend her as a massage therapist. Amazing results and that is why I always go back to her.

I have an awesome experience with Dada. I am high level athlete and suffer quite often from injuries and muscle tiredness. Dada always put me back together so I am ready for action again. Thanks lot for your hard work.

Garfield is by far the best RMT I have worked with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and truly cares for his patients. I appreciate that he looks for the root cause of the ailment rather than just "working on the area that's sore". A fun and engaging chat with Garfield is a nice perk to the excellent level of care!

My family and I are active athletic individuals and have been using Garfield for at least 15 years. He is an amazing professional with experience at the highest level and I have enjoyed terrific success using Garfield when recovering from injuries and just improving my life quality of life. He is also a interesting compassionate person and a pleasure to deal with.

Crooks and Co have gone above and beyond to make the clinic a safe space during the current Covid-19 pandemic. They have developed a very thorough treatment plan involving pre-appointment questionnaires, hand sanitation upon clinic entry, and mandatory masks at all times. The clinic space is incredibly clean and they are sanitizing the rooms in-between treatments and following all the provincial guidelines. I’m happy to report that the massage therapy was as exceptional as ever, and I left feeling relaxed and very grateful for the gold standard of care that I received.

Great place! I had a hip pain. It was gone after 5 sessions. The black knew what he was talking about.

I am a professional dancer. After getting stuck for two years with a knee injury, Garfield and his team were able to completely change the approach on my rehab and finally make me move forward. If I am still dancing is also because of them.
Thank you guys!

Upon hearing Garfield’s initial assessment ‘you’ve been given a Ferrari but treat it like a lawnmower” I knew I was in good hands. Being an extreme sports enthusiast (lifestyle), I never received effective treatment on my broken ankle (of 3 years ago) and Garfield was the first professional I met to explore all connected aspects (body and mind) to stomp it out. Under his guidance I picked up a bunch of new exercises and stretches for various connected weak spots which I still do! The hope he instilled in me to not give up ‘living optimally’ literally transformed my life. In short, Garfield is a warm, kind, courageous professional - one of a kind who is not only hilarious but extremely knowledgeable! I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Garfield, you da’ man!

I've been seeing Garfield for nearly a year now and every visit has been nothing but pleasant. Garfield truly cares for his patience.he make sure you are well taken care the moment you step in the office tell you leave

Crooks & Co, and specifically Garfield, were recommended to me by a colleague when I lamented about neck pain. Garfield straightened me out! Without hesitation, I would recommend Garfield and his team to get you back on track!

Garfield is the best. He has been helping me for years. Whether my problem is mental or physical, a massage with Garfield is the answer. For me, he really is the best RMT for everything: training and competing in various sports, pre- and postnatal, work stress, injuries, etc. I just can't recommend him enough. His clinic is warm and welcoming and so worth a visit. It has a nice space for practicing my homework exercises. He took pictures while I was doing the exercises and sent them to me so I wouldn't forget what to do. I go there for massage, but I get so much more!

Garfield's attentive care as a massage therapist has significantly shifted the well-being of my body. His approach includes diet, mindset, holistic practices, physical exercises and a lot of laughter. His exuberant personality always has me leaving with a big smile. He will work you hard! He challenges me to breathe through tension I've been holding in my body for years. I definitely recommend seeing Garfield!

Garfield’s experience and expertise is unmatched. If you are looking for a relaxing experience this is not the place for you. If however you want relief from pain or to treat an acute or chronic injury, then I highly recommend it.

Garfield was amazing. I was introduced to Garfield years ago and have been impressed by his subtle skills that can always find that point that is juuussst needing to be massage or tweeked.

At the same time Garfield has hands that can likely crush concrete as needed when more intense sessions are needed.

A great spirit and a great guy. A rare combination of sensitivity, no BS treatments, and a professionalism and integrity that lets you know that you’re in the hands of someone who respects you, your body, and the profession.

I've been seeing Garfield for nearly a year now and every visit has been nothing but pleasant. Garfield truly cares for his patience, he took the time to get to know me and to understand what exactly I need from him. Garfield does his best to make sure I am comfortable and relaxed. I look forward to my visit every time!

I went to the clinic a few days before I run a half marathon for the first time. Garfield took the time to explain everything and made me ready for the race. I will continue visiting Crooks & Co and highly recommend it.

Garfield Crooks is an excellent RMT. He is a good listener (ensuring a thorough assessment of your needs), a good teacher (having extensive knowledge of physiology and movement, communicating the issues and solutions effectively, inspiring self-determined change), and good human (warm, kind person). The rate is a bit higher than most, but well worth it.

Garfield is an exceptionally skilled therapist with a depth of knowledge and training unmatched by most massage therapists. He continues to learn and expand his knowledge in a variety of areas. I had the pleasure of first working with him as an amateur athlete in University and then further on in my sports career at the World Championships and Olympics. Following my retirement from sport I was able to continue a professional relationship along side him as a kinesiologist and now physiotherapist.

Simply the best, I have been seeing Garfield for about 10 years now, perfect for injury resolution and prevention. Deep sports athletic massage, prepared me for Ironman world championships and Ironman Canada. If your injured, need to prepare for a big event or to relieve chronic issues this is the place to go.

It’s taken me awhile to find a good RMT that truly cares and is dedicated to client wellness the way Garfield is. While I am not a professional athlete, my activities are important to me. When I starting treatment with Garfield, I was suffering from a whole mixed bag of new and old injuries that prevented me from engaging in activities that keep me happy and healthy. Working with Garfield has been a crucial part of recovery for me.

I have been treated by Garfield for close to 10 years. Injuries from years of team sports left me with chronic pain and I was told to I should never run again. I started working with Garfield and was blown away by his skill, knowledge, compassion and holistic view of treatment. He always takes the time to do a real assessment before starts working on me each time. He was also happy to work with my physio to ensure that my treatment was always consistent. Since seeing Garfield I have been able to get back to the sports I love. I skate ski, cycle, trail run and have completed many triathlons including a full ironman while working with him. I am stronger and have less pain than I did 10 years ago.

I have been seeing Garfield for Massage Therapy for many years. Knock on wood not for any major injuries but as part of an on-going maintenance program. As a mature athlete involved in multiple high level sports, it gives me comfort in knowing I have an excellent massage therapist to work with. Although I am from the Port Moody area and his clinic is in North Vancouver, it's easily accessible off the No. 1 Hwy. Well worth the travel!

Garfield is a true professional and invested in the well being of his clients. I came in with grip issues and found myself being evaluated for posture and mobility so he could treat the current issue and help prevent future injuries.

Through the appointment, Garfield was extremely friendly and personable. Always ready to answer questions, he makes you feel comfortable with the treatment. In addition, he gives you the chance to understand why he's treating you a certain way.

I feel extremely comfortable having Garfield aid my recovery, and would highly recommend him to other athletes.

As a full-time athlete on the Canadian National Team, I highly recommend Garfield:)

He starts with an assessment of posture, mobility, etc.so that he can treat not only the affected area that has brought me in, but also fix other issues that may be contributing to my discomfort, or lead to problems in the future.

It's not exactly relaxing, but the treatment is extremely effective and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived.

I have been to a lot of therapists in my career, and Garfield is my go-to for maintenance and overuse aches and pains in-between my competitions and training camps!

Every time I visit the clinic, Garfield takes the time to explain why and how is treating me, and I always leave feeling so great. He is so knowledgeable and goes the extra mile for his patients!
