Patient stories

Real recovery, real reviews.

Sarah Mitchell

Came in with chronic lower back pain after years of office work. Dr. Patel actually listened, ran a proper assessment, and built a plan around my schedule. Six weeks in and I'm sleeping through the night again. The clinic itself is calm and welcoming.

Tore my ACL in a soccer game and was told my season was over. Tanvir built me a return-to-play programme that pushed but never broke me. Back on the pitch — stronger than before. Honest, expert, no upsell. Cannot recommend enough.

Sciatica had me dreading every car ride. Dr. Reid was the first person to actually find the root issue and explain it in plain language. Three weeks of treatment and I'm back to long drives without flinching. Direct insurance billing was a nice bonus.

Frozen shoulder had me unable to reach overhead for over a year. Fereshteh ran a proper differential and got me on a manual-therapy plus loading plan. Range of motion is back to within five degrees of my good side. Real expertise, no rushed sessions.

Lila Tran

Post-partum pelvic and lower back pain — felt dismissed everywhere else. Gary took the time to actually map what was going on and built a programme around being a new mom. I can lift my baby pain-free again. Genuinely changed my year.

Knee replacement at 58 — surgeon recommended Physio2Health and I'm grateful. Properly graded loading, weekly check-ins, and an honest conversation about timelines. Walking 5 km comfortably eight weeks in. Best money I've ever spent on my body.

What is massage therapy?

Therapeutic touch, calibrated to how your body holds tension.

Massage therapy combines soft-tissue work, trigger-point release, and breath-led relaxation to relieve pain, ease anxiety, and restore mobility. At Physio2Health you'll see a Registered Massage Therapist for a full appointment — long enough to actually unwind the tension, not just touch it.

  • Hands-on care. Manual therapy, dry needling, and modalities tailored to your assessment — not a one-size protocol.
  • A real plan. Exercise prescription, progress markers, and honest timelines you can actually follow.
  • Direct insurance billing. We bill most major plans on your behalf, so you can focus on recovery, not paperwork.

Massage Therapy FAQ

The questions our Richmond Hill patients ask most.

Straight answers — no jargon, no upsell.

What's the difference between an RMT and a spa massage?

Registered Massage Therapists complete 2,200+ hours of clinical training and are regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. Spa massage is focused on relaxation only and isn't a regulated health service. An RMT assesses your body, treats specific issues — pain, injury, mobility, posture — and provides receipts that qualify for extended-health insurance.

Will the massage be painful?

A good massage shouldn't be painful — even deep work should feel like a "good ache" that you can breathe through. Your RMT checks in on pressure throughout, and you can adjust it up or down at any time. Mild tenderness for 24 to 48 hours after a deep-tissue session is normal, especially the first time.

Book your first session →

How long should my first appointment be?

For a first visit we recommend a 60-minute appointment — that allows time for a brief health history, a quick postural and movement check, and a full treatment. If you're addressing a specific area like neck-and-shoulders only, 45 minutes works. For full-body or chronic issues, 75 to 90 minutes is the sweet spot.

Book your first session →

What should I wear or not wear?

You undress to your level of comfort — most patients leave underwear on, some leave more, some leave less. Your RMT leaves the room while you change, and you're fully draped with sheets at all times during treatment, with only the area being worked on uncovered. You're always in control of what's accessed.

Book your first session →

How often should I get a massage?

For an active issue, weekly or bi-weekly sessions for 4 to 6 visits work best, then tapering down as you improve. For maintenance, every 3 to 4 weeks keeps tension manageable. Athletes in heavy training and patients with desk-driven postural strain often benefit from a more regular cadence.

Book your first session →

Can massage help injuries, not just relaxation?

Yes — RMTs work with sports injuries, post-surgical scar tissue, whiplash and motor-vehicle injuries, tendinopathies, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and chronic pain conditions. The therapeutic side of massage is just as well-researched as the relaxation side. Many of our patients see an RMT as part of a wider rehab plan with physiotherapy or chiropractic.

Book your first session →

Is massage therapy covered by insurance?

Yes — RMT services are covered by virtually all extended-health plans, and we direct-bill Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, Green Shield, Desjardins and others. Massage therapy is also reimbursable under WSIB and MVA claims. We confirm coverage before your visit so there are no surprises.

Book your first session →

Do I need a referral?

You don't need a referral to book — massage therapy is a direct-access regulated profession in Ontario. That said, some insurance plans still require a doctor's note before they'll reimburse, so check with your provider. Most family doctors will write one without issue.

Book your first session →

Can I get a massage during pregnancy?

Absolutely. Prenatal massage is one of the most effective ways to manage pregnancy-related back pain, hip pain, swelling, and tension. We use side-lying positioning with supportive pillows from the second trimester onward, and our RMTs are trained in safe, evidence-based prenatal technique. Postnatal massage is equally helpful for recovery.

Book your first session →

Should I drink water after my massage?

Drinking water is sensible — it helps with the slight dehydration that comes from lying still and the body's general response to deep tissue work. The widely repeated idea that water "flushes toxins" isn't quite accurate, but staying hydrated does support how your body settles after treatment, and many patients feel less post-massage soreness when they do.

Book your first session →

How do I choose between deep tissue and Swedish?

Swedish uses long, flowing strokes and lighter pressure — ideal for stress, sleep, and general tension. Deep tissue applies focused, slower pressure into specific muscle layers — better for chronic tightness, sports recovery, and pain conditions. You don't need to choose in advance: tell your RMT what you're after and they'll blend both as needed.

Book your first session →

Can massage relieve headaches and stress?

Yes — this is one of massage's most well-evidenced uses. Tension headaches in particular respond well to targeted work on the neck, jaw, and upper shoulders. For stress, regular massage measurably lowers cortisol and improves sleep quality. Many patients build a session into their routine specifically as nervous-system maintenance.
