Local context
Ailio holds 28 practitioners across 8 clinics in Courtenay, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $115 and $155, but the lengths behind them differ — $48 · 30 min and $210 · 1 hr 30 min are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments.
Massage therapy is the most widely indexed treatment on Ailio, which means the price range on this page is wide by nature: an initial assessment, a 30-minute focused treatment and a 90-minute session are all "massage", and they are not the same purchase. The length beside each price is what makes two clinics comparable.
The median listed price is $130, taken from 101 priced services at 8 clinics in Courtenay. Half of them fall between $115 and $155. 70 services here publish no price at all and are not in that figure. These are the clinics' own published rates — Ailio adds no booking fee and never marks a price up.
Massage therapy is not covered by MSP for most people. MSP’s supplementary benefits pay a set amount per visit toward a limited number of visits a year, and only for patients receiving premium assistance — everyone else pays the clinic’s listed price and claims it on their own extended-health plan if they have one. Treatment funded by ICBC or WorkSafeBC is different again: those bodies pay the clinic directly, so an approved claim does not spend the annual maximum on your own plan.
No. Registered massage therapists in British Columbia are direct-access practitioners, so you can book without seeing a doctor first. A referral may still be required by your own extended-health plan before it will reimburse you, and ICBC and WorkSafeBC treatment depends on an open claim rather than a referral — check with your insurer, not the clinic.
Not today. Nothing is left in the calendars of the 9 clinics we can currently check in Courtenay. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert is usually a better bet than refreshing.

These are the clinics’ own words, repeated — confirm with them before you book, because whether a particular claim goes through is between the clinic and the payer.
