If you're looking into massage therapy in Nepean or Ottawa, pricing is one of the first questions that comes up — followed quickly by whether insurance will cover it. Here's a clear breakdown of what to expect in 2026.

| 90 minutes | $180 + HST |
Pricing across Ottawa clinics is fairly consistent — session length is the main variable. What differs is experience, accessibility, and approach. We're located near Algonquin College with free on-site parking, which makes regular treatment practical to maintain.
For most people in Ottawa and Nepean — yes. Most employer-sponsored extended health plans include some level of Registered Massage Therapy coverage. Private plans often do too. What varies is the annual maximum, whether there's a per-visit cap, and whether a referral is required.
Ottawa has a large base of federal government employees and public-sector workers, many of whom have benefits plans that include paramedical coverage. If you're a federal employee, there's a strong chance your plan includes RMT — though the amount will depend on your specific bargaining agreement.
Direct billing is available at Woodroffe Health Centre for plans that support it. Bring your insurance card and we'll submit the claim on your behalf. If your plan doesn't support direct billing, an official RMT receipt — including your therapist's CMTO registration number — is provided for self-submission.
Massage therapy is commonly used for neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, muscle tightness from long hours of sitting, sports-related strain, and stress. With regular sessions, many people notice improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and better overall function. Some also combine massage with acupuncture for ongoing tension or longer-term concerns.
Appointments are often available within the week. Book online in a few steps — no referral required.
