1. What is the approximate cost of Massage Therapy?
All Massage Therapists or Clinics set their own rate. It is a reflection of the quality of service you are receiving, the education level and qualifications of the Therapist treating you, the quality of the facility, and includes any other privileges the Therapist or facility affords you.
2. Does my Benefit Company cover Massage Therapy?
The majority of Benefit Companies cover Massage Therapy. Whether it is simply a percentage of the total bill, a certain amount annually, or a dollar amount per treatment depends upon your provider and plan.
Please note that Benefit Companies will not deal directly with Health Providers. Any inquires regarding your coverage must be made by the benefit holder (whether that is you or your spouse).
3. I've been in an automobile accident, will TMC treat me?
YES. We would be delighted to. However there are a few things to understand.
a. TMC does not collect from insurance companies. We treat all of our customers equally, therefore each client pays upfront and is reimbursed by their insurance company accordingly.
b. TMC does not bill the client for any cost that the insurance company incurs.
c. Insurance companies do not pay the entire amount of Massage Therapy. This is a common misconception with MVA (Motor Vehical Accident) clients. Please understand that it is illegal for Massage Therapists to change their rates for anyone. By law we are obligated to charge the entire fee to each client. Massage Therapy Act
4. Do I need to get completely undressed for a treatment?
No. All clients dress according to their comfort level. In the case that the Therapist is asked to work over the clothing, the Therapist will certainly accommodate. Massage Therapy is most effective directly on the skin, however is still effective through a thin layer of clothing.

5. Do you offer Gift Certificates?
TMC is happy to offer gift cards for our 30, 45 and 60 minute treatments. TMC gift cards are a great way to offer the gift of health to a colleague, longtime client or loved one.
As per the province of Ontario's legislation regarding gift cards/certificates for a specific services, TMC gift cards have a 6 month expiration date. Ministry of Consumer Services
6. What is a Senior Therapist?
The average “lifespan” of a Registered Massage Therapist is approximately 7 years. After this point it is not unusual for an RMT to “burnout” due to fatigue, physical strain and stress. At TMC we reward our Therapists for their hard work and unflinching desire to aid our clients in reaching their ultimate health potential. Any TMC Therapist who reaches their fifth year of treating is automatically elevated to the position of Senior Therapist. Opposed to the popular assumption that our Senior Therapists only treat Seniors, our Senior Therapists have a high client base, offer years of experience and many times they have a specific skill set that separates them from our Standard Therapists.
Another thing that separates our Senior Therapists from our Standard Therapists is their price per treatment. Until now all of our Senior Therapists have billed $5 more for only their 60 minute treatment, beginning in October they will be $5 more than each standard price. This difference will be visible on our website, on our booking program and will be posted in our office.
Our current Senior Therapists are Naomi Baker, David Zulak, Melissa Eason, Ashley Symington and Cynthia Mayeda.
