Will my insurance cover RMT massage at LiveWell?

Almost certainly — RMT is covered under most Canadian extended health plans. We direct bill Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Desjardins, Blue Cross and others. You only pay your portion at checkout.

Do I need a doctor's referral for massage in Ontario?

No referral is required to book. Some insurance plans, however, require a physician's note to release massage coverage — check your benefits booklet or ask us when you book.

What's the difference between deep tissue and Swedish massage?

Swedish is broader, lighter and focused on circulation and relaxation. Deep tissue applies sustained pressure to specific layers of muscle and fascia to release chronic patterns. Most of our patients get a mix — your therapist will adjust to what your tissue needs that day.

Do you offer prenatal massage?

Yes. Our RMT has extensive prenatal experience, including side-lying positioning and modifications for every trimester.
