    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about massage therapy in Toronto

    Are your massage therapists registered in Toronto?

    Yes, all our massage therapists are registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) and are fully licensed to practice massage therapy in Toronto and throughout Ontario.

    Do you accept insurance for massage therapy in Toronto?

    Most extended health insurance plans cover registered massage therapy. We provide detailed receipts for easy reimbursement. Our downtown Toronto location makes it convenient to visit us during your lunch break or after work.

    Where is your Toronto massage therapy clinic located?

    We're conveniently located in downtown Toronto, easily accessible by TTC subway and streetcar. Street parking and nearby parking garages are available. Our central location serves clients from all Toronto neighborhoods including King West, Entertainment District, Financial District, and beyond.

    What types of massage therapy do you offer in Toronto?

    We offer deep tissue massage, pregnancy massage, sports massage, and relaxation massage. Our Toronto massage therapists customize each treatment based on your specific needs, whether you're dealing with work stress, sports injuries, or chronic pain.

    How do I book a massage therapy appointment in Toronto?

    You can book online through our scheduling system or call us directly. We offer same-day appointments when available and accommodate busy Toronto schedules with early morning and evening slots.

    What should I expect during my first massage therapy visit?

    Your first visit includes a health assessment, discussion of your concerns, and a customized treatment plan. Our experienced Toronto massage therapists ensure you're comfortable throughout the session and provide aftercare recommendations.

    How much does massage therapy cost in Toronto?

    Massage therapy in Toronto generally costs $85–$155 per session depending on length (45–90 minutes) and therapist seniority. At Aches Away Toronto, RMT sessions are priced transparently and most extended health plans reimburse 60–100% of the fee.

    Do Toronto RMTs direct bill insurance?

    Many Toronto RMTs, including the team at Aches Away, can submit claims directly to major insurers (Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, Green Shield, and others) where the plan permits. If direct billing isn't available, we issue a detailed CMTO-compliant receipt for fast reimbursement.

    How is Aches Away different from a spa massage in Toronto?

    A spa massage is designed for relaxation and ambience. Aches Away is a clinical massage therapy practice in downtown Toronto — our RMTs assess movement, posture, and the underlying bottleneck driving your symptoms, then build a treatment plan to remove it. The room is calm; the work is precise.

    What's the difference between an RMT and a massage therapist in Ontario?

    In Ontario, only practitioners registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) can legally call themselves Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). Every massage therapist at our Toronto clinic is an RMT, which is what makes treatment eligible for extended health insurance reimbursement.

    How quickly can I book a massage in Toronto?

    Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available at our downtown Toronto clinic, including early-morning, lunch, and evening slots. You can book online 24/7 or call (647) 424-4528.

    Which modality should I book first — massage, osteopathy, acupuncture, or naturopathy in Toronto?

    It depends on what's driving the issue. Sharp, localized muscle pain or recovery work usually starts with massage therapy. Stiff, restricted joints or chronic compensations point to osteopathy. Nervous-system, hormonal or stress-driven patterns respond well to acupuncture. Anything systemic — fatigue, digestion, sleep, inflammation — is a naturopath conversation. Not sure? Our front desk in downtown Toronto can triage in a 2-minute call.

    Do you have RMTs, osteopaths, acupuncturists and naturopaths under one roof in Toronto?

    Yes. Aches Away Toronto runs all four practices — registered massage therapy, manual osteopathy, acupuncture and naturopathic medicine — from a single downtown Toronto clinic. Practitioners cross-refer internally so your plan stays coordinated.

    Can I see a Toronto osteopath and acupuncturist in the same visit?

    Yes. Many clients pair a 60-minute osteopathy session with a 30-minute acupuncture follow-up on the same day. Just request the combined block when booking and we'll align both practitioners' calendars at our downtown Toronto clinic.
