Insurance, handled
We accept most forms of health insurance — and if you’re not covered, our rates stay competitive and our payment plans stay flexible. We even process the paperwork.
Request your practitioner
Ask for a specific therapist by name, or state a preference — booking ahead is the surest way to keep your favourite pair of hands.
A word of care
Your age, physical state and medical background decide the therapy — our practitioners will guide you, and may advise against massage during pregnancy.
