Home > Our Services > Massage Therapy in Oakville
Looking for an RMT in Oakville who plans your massage around an assessment rather than a set routine? Book a registered massage therapist in Oakville at Wellmax and your treatment follows what the assessment shows, with physiotherapy and chiropractic down the hall if that helps.
Carrying tension in your neck, shoulders or back that never really lets go?
Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) treat tight shoulders, stiff muscles, chronic back tension and stress with massage that is both deeply relaxing and clinically effective. Deep tissue for stubborn knots, therapeutic massage for neck and shoulder tension, prenatal massage, sports recovery, or an hour to let your nervous system settle: every session is tailored to your body, your tension patterns and your goals. We are a regulated health clinic, not a spa, so your RMT works alongside our physiotherapists and your massage can be coordinated with your rehab plan.
Direct billing to most major insurers. No referral needed. RMT appointments Thursdays and Fridays, including evenings, and Saturdays 9am to 2pm.
We’re at 1148 Winston Churchill Blvd, Unit B3, Oakville, just south of the QEW. Patients from Winston Park, Clearview, Clarkson, Sheridan Park, Maple Grove, and south Mississauga come to us for registered massage therapy.

Why Choose RMT Massage at Wellmax Physiotherapy
Regulated Healthcare, Not a Spa
Massage therapy in Ontario is a regulated health profession under the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). Our RMTs have completed years of clinical training, passed board examinations, and follow strict standards of practice. Treatments are evidence-informed and your insurance company only reimburses RMT services. Your treatments are safe, effective, and provided by professionals trained to recognize musculoskeletal, circulatory, and neurological red flags.
Massage Plus Physiotherapy: The Integrated Advantage
This is where patients at Wellmax get the biggest benefit. Your RMT and physiotherapist collaborate on your care. Getting massage before a physiotherapy session releases tension holding joints in poor positions, reduces pain so exercises become easier, and increases range of motion so physio is more effective. Getting massage after physiotherapy reduces post-exercise soreness, improves tissue recovery, and prevents flare-ups. Many patients with shoulder pain, back pain, or neck stiffness see faster results with combined massage and physio than either alone.
Clinical Precision, Customized Pressure
You tell us exactly what you prefer. Deep pressure (safely performed), moderate therapeutic pressure, or light pressure for nervous system calming. You are in control at every moment. Your RMT adjusts based on your feedback. Every session includes a brief assessment to identify tension patterns, screen for safety, and understand your work demands (desk, driving, heavy lifting, childcare) before treatment begins.
A few of the reasons Oakville patients choose Wellmax for registered massage therapy:
- Registered Massage Therapists regulated by the CMTO
- Massage coordinated with your physiotherapy plan
- Deep, therapeutic, sports, prenatal and relaxation massage
- Pressure customized to you at every moment
- Private treatment rooms, never a shared space
- Direct billing to most major insurers
- MVA and WSIB claims billed directly
- RMT appointments Thursdays and Fridays (evenings available) and Saturdays
Meet Your Registered Massage Therapists in Oakville
Your session is one-on-one care at Wellmax, delivered by a Registered Massage Therapist who tailors pressure and technique to your body and your goals.
Danny Luu
Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)
Danny graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Oxford College in Ontario and builds every treatment around what each person actually needs. He offers both therapeutic and relaxation massage, adjusting pressure and technique to match your comfort and goals, and works with clients managing general muscle tension, stiffness, and the everyday aches that come from work and daily life.
Li Jian (Cynthia) Luo
Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)
Cynthia comes from a long line of Chinese medical practitioners and combines therapeutic and relaxation methods so treatments are effective for pain and tension while still deeply restful. She is committed to continuous study, constantly refining her techniques, and brings multi-generational expertise to every session, whether you need focused therapeutic work or simple deep relaxation.
Nina Tang
Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)
Nina is skilled in deep tissue massage, Swedish massage and trigger point therapy, and combines them based on what your body needs that day. She works with chronic pain, long-standing muscle tension, stress and postural imbalances, focusing on the root cause of discomfort rather than only the spot that hurts. Nina treats at Wellmax on Fridays.
How much does massage therapy cost in Oakville?
| Appointment | Length | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Massage therapy | 30 minutes | $85 |
| Massage therapy | 45 minutes | $105 |
| Massage therapy | 60 minutes | $125 |
| Massage therapy | 90 minutes | $170 |
| Pregnancy massage | 60 minutes | $125 |
| Lymphatic massage | 60 minutes | $125 |
Most extended health plans cover a large share of these fees, and we direct bill most major insurers, so you usually pay only the remaining portion at the desk. WSIB and motor vehicle accident claims are billed to the insurer directly at no cost to you. Prices are in Canadian dollars and current as of October 2026. Assessments and treatments are the same fee for the same length, so a first visit costs no more than a follow-up. Deep tissue, therapeutic, sports and relaxation massage are all booked at the standard registered massage therapy rates above, by session length. Massage therapy fees are subject to 13% HST, added at the desk.
Conditions We Treat with Massage Therapy
Neck and Shoulder Tension
The most common reason Oakville patients book massage therapy. Targeted massage releases the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and suboccipital muscles that develop chronic tension from daily habits. This leads to stiffness, reduced range of motion, “pinched nerve” sensations, and tension headaches. For persistent neck pain, massage combined with neck physiotherapy produces the best outcomes.
Perfect for:
- Office workers and desk workers in the Winston Park business corridor
- Drivers commuting on the QEW and Highway 403
- Students studying for long hours
- Phone and device posture users
- People with tension headaches or jaw clenching
Low Back Pain and Hip Tightness
Chronic low back pain, muscle knots around the spine, tight hip flexors from prolonged sitting, and muscle spasms all respond well to deep tissue and targeted massage. For patients with back pain and sciatica, massage reduces the muscle guarding that limits movement and increases pain. For hip pain patients, releasing the gluteal muscles, piriformis, and hip flexors improves joint mechanics and reduces referred pain.
Common in:
- Desk workers and remote workers sitting 8+ hours daily
- Trades workers with physical lifting demands
- Pregnant and postpartum women with pelvic girdle pain
- Drivers and commuters with prolonged sitting postures
Tension Headaches and Migraines
If your headaches start in the neck or shoulders, massage can reduce frequency, ease intensity, release the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull, improve blood flow, and reduce jaw tension. Especially effective for people who clench or grind at night. Massage works alongside TMJ treatment for patients with headaches driven by jaw dysfunction.
Sports and Training Recovery
Massage helps clear metabolic waste, reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), improve flexibility, and prevent minor strains from becoming major injuries. For athletes managing specific injuries, massage paired with sports physiotherapy and running injury treatment accelerates return to training.
Ideal for:
- Runners from the Waterfront Trail, Sixteen Mile Creek, and Bronte Creek trails
- Weightlifters and gym athletes from CrossFit Radix, Vive Fitness, and Anytime Fitness
- Pickleball and tennis players from Ontario Racquet Club and Joshua Creek Tennis
- Weekend warriors and recreational athletes
- High school and college athletes in Oakville programs
- Hockey players from Joshua’s Creek Arenas and Sixteen Mile Sports Complex
Stress, Anxiety and Sleep Issues
Many Oakville patients book massage specifically to downregulate their nervous system. Moderate pressure massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol levels and promoting relaxation. For patients managing chronic pain, the stress reduction component of massage therapy is a meaningful part of the overall treatment strategy.
Benefits include:
- Better sleep quality and duration
- Lower anxiety and stress levels
- Nervous system downregulation and calming
- Reduced muscle tension from stress-related holding patterns
- Feeling calmer, more grounded, and more present
Pregnancy Massage (2nd and 3rd Trimester)
Safe, modified massage for prenatal patients. Side-lying positioning with pillow support ensures comfort. Trimester guidance is in Types of Massage Therapy below.
Helps with:
- Lower back tension and lumbar pain
- Rib cage tightness and mid-back discomfort
- Hip pressure and SI joint pain
- Leg swelling and fluid retention
- Sleep disruption and insomnia
- Stress, anxiety, and fatigue during pregnancy
Whiplash and Post-Accident Muscle Tension
After a car accident, the cervical and upper back muscles go into protective spasm. Massage therapy helps release this guarding, restore neck mobility, and reduce the headaches that commonly follow whiplash injuries. Massage for MVA patients is covered under your auto insurance through your motor vehicle accident claim. We handle the paperwork and bill your insurer directly.
Workplace Injury Recovery
Workers in Oakville’s industrial corridors (Southdown, Royal Windsor, Winston Park business district) who have sustained muscle strains, repetitive strain injuries, or chronic tension from physical labour benefit from massage therapy as part of their WSIB rehabilitation program. Massage is covered under your WSIB claim at no cost to you.
Chronic Pain Conditions
Massage therapy plays a supportive role in managing long-term pain conditions by reducing muscle tension, calming the nervous system, and improving overall quality of life. Patterns can be complex, and our RMTs adapt treatment accordingly.
Massage may help with:
- Fibromyalgia and widespread muscle pain
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Postural syndrome from prolonged desk work
- Long-term muscle tension and guarding patterns
- Pelvic pain associated muscle tension
- Arthritis related stiffness and joint pain
- Post-surgical scar tissue tightness
For complex chronic pain, massage works best alongside chronic pain physiotherapy and, where appropriate, naturopathic medicine for a comprehensive approach.
Types of Massage Therapy We Offer
Deep Tissue Massage
Firm, slow, deep pressure for stubborn knots, adhesions, hypertonic (thick and tense) muscles, chronic upper trapezius tightness, and low back stiffness. Deep tissue work reaches the deeper muscle layers that superficial massage doesn’t address and helps break down long-standing adhesions.
Ideal for:
- Stubborn knots and chronic muscle tension
- Athletes and gym users with thick, tense muscles
- Repetitive strain from office work or heavy lifting
- Chronic upper back, trap, and shoulder tightness
- Low back stiffness and spasm
Therapeutic Massage (Most Popular)
Injury-focused, remedial massage that combines moderate pressure, trigger point therapy, relaxation techniques, and stretching to address the root cause of pain. The best all-around option for everyday muscle tension, stress, and general soreness, as well as specific conditions like back pain and sciatica and frozen shoulder. This is what most patients choose and what most conditions respond to well.
Relaxation Massage
Gentle, rhythmic Swedish massage. Light to moderate pressure focused on calming the nervous system, relieving stress, and reducing anxiety. Ideal for patients who prefer gentle pressure, who are recovering from illness, or who use massage primarily for mental health and sleep improvement.
Sports Massage
Designed for athletes to recover faster, prevent injury, improve muscle performance, and address asymmetries. Sports massage can be pre-event (warm-up and activation), post-event (recovery), or maintenance (ongoing injury prevention). Works alongside our sports injury rehabilitation programs.
Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy
Slow, sustained tissue release for deeper restrictions and focused pressure on painful knots causing referred pain patterns. Effective for patients with chronic tension, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and IT band syndrome where myofascial restriction is contributing to the problem.
Pregnancy Massage
Specialized prenatal massage performed in a side-lying position with pillow support for comfort and safety during the second and third trimester. Modified techniques and pressure for the pregnant body. Addresses lower back tension, hip pressure, rib cage tightness, leg swelling, and the general fatigue and stress of pregnancy. Our RMTs are trained in prenatal massage protocols and coordinate with our pelvic floor physiotherapy team for patients managing pregnancy pelvic pain. Trimester guidance, positioning and fees are on our pregnancy massage in Oakville page.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
A gentle, rhythmic technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce fluid retention, swelling, and bloating. Lymphatic massage uses very light pressure and specific directional strokes to encourage lymph flow. Beneficial for post-surgical swelling, pregnancy-related edema, chronic inflammation, and immune system support. This is a specialized technique distinct from deep tissue or therapeutic massage.
Massage Therapy for Car Accident and Workplace Injuries
Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Coverage
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, massage therapy is covered under Ontario’s no-fault auto insurance (SABS). Whether your injury is classified under the Minor Injury Guideline ($3,500 coverage) or non-catastrophic benefits (up to $65,000), massage therapy is an approved treatment. We handle all insurance paperwork and bill your auto insurer directly. You pay nothing out of pocket for approved treatment. Massage for MVA patients is particularly effective for whiplash, post-accident muscle guarding, and cervicogenic headaches.
WSIB Workplace Injury Coverage
Massage therapy is covered under your WSIB claim for work-related injuries. Trades workers, warehouse staff, construction workers, and office employees with repetitive strain injuries in the Southdown industrial corridor and Winston Park business district access WSIB-covered massage therapy at Wellmax. We bill WSIB directly. See our WSIB page for details.
What to Expect During Your Massage Therapy Session
Step 1: Intake and Goal Setting
Your RMT asks what hurts, how long it has been an issue, what makes it worse, what your daily activity looks like, and what pressure you prefer. You can request deep, moderate, light, or a combination. You can request that certain areas be avoided. This is a conversation, not a form.
Step 2: Quick Assessment
A brief check of posture, muscle tension patterns, movement restrictions, and trigger points. This takes 1 to 3 minutes and helps your RMT understand what’s driving the problem, not just where it hurts.
Step 3: Customized Treatment
Your RMT adjusts pressure based on your feedback throughout the session. They work on both the primary area of complaint and the contributing areas (shoulder tension often involves the neck and thoracic spine, for example). You are properly draped at all times. We offer heating pads underneath the massage bed sheet for your maximum comfort and relaxation. All treatments are in private rooms.
Step 4: Aftercare
Your RMT may recommend specific stretches, heat or ice application, hydration, follow-up frequency, and whether physiotherapy or another service would benefit your condition. You always understand your treatment plan before leaving.
How Often Should You Come for Massage
- Acute muscle tension or stress: Weekly or bi-weekly for 2 to 4 sessions to break the cycle.
- Chronic neck or back pain: Every 2 weeks for 4 to 6 sessions, ideally paired with physiotherapy for maximum benefit.
- Athletic recovery: Weekly or bi-weekly depending on training load and sport demands.
- Maintenance and prevention: Every 3 to 4 weeks to prevent tension from building up.
- Posture-related pain: Paired with physiotherapy for the combined approach of manual release plus strengthening.
- Prenatal: Every 2 to 3 weeks during the second and third trimester, more frequently if pelvic or back pain is significant.
We will never push unnecessary appointments. Plans are customized based on your response to treatment and your goals.
Saturday massage appointments available. Our registered massage therapists treat on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (Saturday 9am to 2pm). Many Oakville patients who can’t take time off work during the week book their massage on Saturday. Book your appointment online.
Massage Therapy Direct Billing in Oakville
Massage therapy by a Registered Massage Therapist is covered by most extended health insurance plans, and we direct bill most major providers (full list below).
No doctor referral is needed to book. Some insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement, so check your specific plan. We can help you confirm your coverage before your first appointment.
You receive an official RMT receipt for insurance submission. Your extended health benefits typically have separate coverage for massage therapy and physiotherapy, so you can use both services without one reducing the other. See our insurance and billing page for full details, or read whether massage therapy is covered by insurance in Ontario.
How Direct Billing for Massage Works at Wellmax
- Bring your plan details. Your insurance company, your plan or policy number and your member ID. If you are covered under a spouse or parent, bring their plan member details too.
- We submit the claim for you. At your visit we send the claim for your registered massage therapy session straight to your insurer.
- You pay only what is left. If your plan covers part of the visit, you pay only the difference. If your plan does not allow direct billing, you pay at the visit and we give you an official RMT receipt to submit yourself.
Insurers We Direct Bill for Massage Therapy
We direct bill most major insurers for massage therapy in Oakville, including Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life (Great-West Life), Desjardins, Green Shield Canada, Blue Cross, Medavie Blue Cross, Industrial Alliance, ClaimSecure, Empire Life, Equitable Life, Cowan, Johnston Group, GroupHEALTH, GroupSource and SSQ. Not sure about your plan? Ask us before your first visit and we will check it with you.
Three Things to Check in Your Plan Before You Book
- Your yearly massage maximum. Many plans set a dollar limit per year, and some also cap the amount per visit.
- Whether you need a doctor’s note. A few plans ask for one before they pay for massage, even though you never need a referral to book with us.
- Whether massage has its own limit. Most plans keep massage separate from physiotherapy, but some combine paramedical services under one yearly total.
What Our Patients Say
Vlad“I’m not very much keen to leave a personal experience review for a business, however this establishment has proven time over time that it is worth saying a few words. I have been dealing with post cancer treatment impairment and disability for the past 3+ years. Over the past 25+ years I have visited many physiotherapy clinics but this one stands apart due to very competent staff that get involved in every single detail of body healing and wellness, and each and every time prove they are worth going to for treatments. …”
H A.“Very lovely experience, from the start to finish. Reception was great and the doctor was extremely informative, answered all questions. Massage and physiotherapy session was very beneficial and informative throughout the whole session. Couldn’t recommend enough, excited to go back.”
Mudit S.“Had a great experience at Wellmax Physiotherapy. Danny was excellent—very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the massage. He took the time to understand the areas that needed attention and made sure the pressure was comfortable and effective. I felt much more relaxed and refreshed afterward. Great service and a welcoming environment. Highly recommend Danny and Wellmax Physiotherapy!”
Peter B.“Friendly and efficient, the team will help you quickly regain your mobility and strength 💪🏽. They listen and use different techniques (massage/stretching/cupping/electrostim…) depending on the issue. The team have helped me with a slightly buldged disc/facet problem in L5 with mild sciatica and a shoulder issue – I’m back to nearly full strength. Thank Rini and team! They do claims for Work injuries.”
Kanwal A.“Excellent physiotherapist and RMT services. Have taken services from Gurmeet in the past. She is a professional and knows her job well.”
Sunil R.“Gurmeet figured out the cause of my knee pain and is working hard on fixing it. Already feel much more pain relief and better walking ability. Thanks to you and your team! Not only are you all very professional and knowledgeable, but also very kind and caring! As an update, Gurmeet’s techniques have significantly improved the mobility in my foot/ankle, and the recommended stretches and modalities have all helped so much too! Thankful to Nav and Cynthia too. Everyone is so skilled and polite and friendly! Cynthia is the best massage therapist I’ve had in years! She really works on the tight muscles and listens to feedback well if you ask for less or more pressure. …”
Kevin O.“Look no further if you want the best physiotherapy clinic in Oakville. I was dealing with plantar fasciitis that made taking my first steps out of bed every morning absolutely agonizing. I had tried custom insoles and resting, but nothing worked permanently. Dhrushi assessed my foot mechanics and put together a great plan using shockwave therapy. I also saw Cynthia for deep tissue massage on my tight calf muscles. The combination of their treatments worked wonders. I am finally walking normally again. They are honest, professional, and do not pressure you into endless treatment packages.”
Janki P.“I had been experiencing constant pain before starting treatment with this physiotherapist. From the very first session, Gurmeet Rai demonstrated exceptional knowledge, care, and professionalism. Her hands-on therapy and massage techniques were highly effective, and I noticed a significant improvement in my pain after the treatments. She also provided me with clear and practical exercises to continue at home, which have been very helpful in managing my condition on a daily basis. She takes the time to listen, explains everything well, and truly cares about her patients’ recovery. I feel very fortunate to have found such a skilled and dedicated physiotherapist. …”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to book a massage?+–
No. You can book directly without a referral. Your insurance plan may require a referral for reimbursement, so it is worth checking. We can help you sort out your coverage before your first visit.
What should I wear or take off for my massage?+–
Whatever you are comfortable removing. You are fully draped at all times and only the area being treated is exposed. All sessions take place in private treatment rooms, never a shared space.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?+–
Deep pressure can feel intense, especially on areas with chronic tension, but it should never be unbearable. Your RMT adjusts pressure throughout the session based on your feedback. Tell them if the pressure needs to change. Communication is always welcome.
How long are your massage sessions?+–
We offer 30, 45, 60, and 90 minute sessions depending on your goals and the areas that need attention. For a focused treatment on one or two problem areas, 30 to 45 minutes works well. For full-body work or multiple areas, 60 or 90 minutes is more appropriate.
Can I combine massage therapy with physiotherapy?+–
Yes, and in many cases it is the ideal approach. Massage releases the muscle tension and physiotherapy strengthens the underlying weakness. Your extended health benefits typically have separate coverage for massage therapy and physiotherapy, so you can use both without one reducing the other.
What is the difference between RMT massage and a spa massage?+–
An RMT is a Registered Massage Therapist regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, with years of clinical training and the ability to screen for musculoskeletal and circulatory red flags. RMT treatment is results-driven and assessment-based, can be coordinated with your physiotherapy plan, and qualifies for insurance, WSIB and auto-insurance reimbursement. A spa massage is for relaxation only and is not covered by health insurance.
Is massage therapy covered after a car accident (MVA)?+–
Yes. Massage therapy is an approved treatment under Ontario’s no-fault auto insurance system (SABS), and coverage applies regardless of who was at fault. We handle all insurance paperwork and bill your auto insurer directly, so you pay nothing out of pocket for approved treatment. See our MVA page for details.
Is prenatal massage safe during pregnancy?+–
Yes. Prenatal massage is safe during the second and third trimesters when performed by a trained RMT. We use side-lying positioning with pillow support for comfort, pressure is adjusted, and certain techniques are modified for pregnancy safety. Our RMTs coordinate with our pelvic floor physiotherapy team for patients managing pregnancy pelvic pain.
Do you direct bill insurance for massage therapy?+–
Yes. We offer direct billing to most major insurance providers including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life (formerly Great-West Life), Green Shield, Blue Cross, and Desjardins. WSIB and MVA claims are also billed directly. You receive an official RMT receipt for any plan we cannot bill directly.
Do you offer weekend massage appointments?+–
Yes. We offer RMT massage therapy on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. Our RMTs treat on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, so patients who work during the week often book a Saturday session. Book online and choose the day and therapist that suit you.
How do I book a massage at Wellmax?+–
You can book online or call us at (905) 829-1100. We will book you the soonest available appointment that fits your schedule and your preferred therapist’s days, including evening and weekend slots.
How much does massage therapy cost in Oakville?+–
At Wellmax, registered massage therapy is $85 for 30 minutes, $105 for 45 minutes, $125 for 60 minutes, and $170 for 90 minutes. Pregnancy and lymphatic drainage massage are $125 for 60 minutes. Your first visit includes a brief assessment at the same rate, and we direct bill most major insurers, so many patients pay little or nothing out of pocket.
Why am I sore after a deep tissue massage?+–
Mild soreness for a day or two is normal, especially after deep tissue work. It is a form of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS): firm pressure on tight, restricted muscle releases tension and increases blood flow, and your body responds with a brief recovery process much like after exercise. It should feel like a dull post-workout ache, never sharp or severe. Drinking water, light movement and rest usually settle it within 24 to 48 hours. If pressure regularly leaves you very sore, tell your RMT and they will lighten it next time.
What should I do after my massage?+–
Drink water, move gently, and give your body a little time to settle. Hydration helps your muscles recover, and light walking or easy stretching keeps the area from stiffening back up. It is best to avoid intense workouts, heavy lifting, hot tubs or alcohol for the rest of the day. If your RMT gives you specific stretches or heat and ice advice, follow that, and book your next session before tension has a chance to rebuild.
How many massage sessions will I need?+–
It depends on what you are dealing with. For a specific bout of tension or pain, most people need somewhere between 3 and 8 sessions, usually spaced no more than two weeks apart while the problem is active, then less often once it settles. For ongoing stress or maintenance, every 3 to 4 weeks is common. Your RMT will give you an honest plan based on how your body responds, and we never push appointments you do not need.
Do I need to tip my registered massage therapist?+–
No. Massage therapy at Wellmax is regulated healthcare delivered by a Registered Massage Therapist, not a spa service, so a tip is never expected. Your RMT is paid as a healthcare professional. Tipping is entirely your choice and is in no way required, and it does not affect the care or attention you receive. What we appreciate most is honest feedback during your session and, if you are happy, a referral or a Google review.
How do I find a good registered massage therapist near me?
At Wellmax, massage starts with an assessment, so the treatment matches what we find instead of following a set routine. Your therapist can coordinate with our physiotherapy and chiropractic team in the same building when that is useful. We run the clinic the way we would want our own family treated, and it shows in five stars on Google, 300+ reviews.
