What “tax included” means when you compare clinics
Ontario charges 13% HST on most massage and wellness services. A clinic advertising “$100 massage” will usually charge $113 at checkout. Our prices already have the tax inside them, so a $110 session is $110 at the desk.
The practical rule when comparing: take any before-tax price you see elsewhere and multiply it by 1.13 before putting it next to ours. A “$95” massage elsewhere is $107.35; a “$100” one is $113.
Which services your benefits plan is likely to cover
- Registered massage therapy, acupuncture and osteopathy are delivered by registered practitioners and come with an official receipt. Most extended health plans reimburse these, subject to your annual limit.
- Tuina, moxibustion, hot stone massage and ear candling are wellness services. Most plans do not cover them, so treat them as out-of-pocket.
- Sun Life plans are currently not accepted. If your coverage is through Sun Life, contact us before booking.
If you want to make your annual limit go further, read how to use insurance benefits gradually and how to check benefits before booking.
How many sessions should you budget for?
It depends on what you are treating. A single session is often enough for a reset after a hard week. A recurring problem such as a stiff neck that keeps returning or stress-related sleep trouble usually responds better to a short series, for example three to five visits spaced one to two weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few weeks. We will suggest a realistic plan after the first visit rather than asking you to buy a package up front.
Booking and paying
You book online through Square, which shows live availability every day from 8:00am to 9:00pm. You pay at the clinic after the session by debit, credit or e-transfer, and the receipt is issued the same day.

Professional context
Massage therapy is commonly used for musculoskeletal tension, stress, and recovery support. It can be a reasonable part of a broader care plan, but it does not replace assessment of new, severe, or unexplained symptoms.
When medical assessment matters first
Seek medical assessment first if pain is severe, follows trauma, comes with numbness or weakness, or is paired with chest pain, fever, or other systemic symptoms.
