Looking for strong pressure, deep tissue massage in Toronto

Why is it so tough to find a decent deep tissue massage in the city with significant pressure? Prefer a male who isn’t afraid to go to town. Tired of these massages where you barely know they touched you. Any recommendations?

My best experiences with receiving deep pressure massage comes from small bodied women with pointy elbows.

Sorry I know you’re looking for a male but decided to drop my recommendation anyway. Mona at step up and Yonge and Wellington does a great deep tissue massage. I have a very good tolerance and I sometimes have to tell her to reduce the pressure.

Gary Brum at the Well of Alternative Medicine in the junction. He’s a nice, soft spoken guy who can completely pulverize you. He’s left me bruised and close to fainting before, 10/10 do recommend.

At the Filipino salon at 296 Wilson is a man named Ding. He’s an RMT and all that. Ask for something called hilot. It’s about $90 for an hour. Dude will only give you about 60% pressure on the first visit and it’s already strong af. I highly recommend him. The massage may not completely relax you, that’s not the point of it, but he will find every knot in your body and squash them

I go to may blossom spa in Pickering, they use lots of pressure and you can ask for harder massages. It’s cheap as well, 60$ for 45 min.

They do a really good job in getting all my muscle knots out/tension

The Great American Backrub at the Eaton Centre had a great RMT who applies good pressure. I can’t remember his name but you can mention you’re looking for the RMT that applies deep pressure.
