1 practitioner at 1 clinic in Ottawa, offering massage therapy, with the prices those clinics publish and the openings their own calendars hold. No booking fee, and Ailio never marks a price up.
This is what Ailio has found in Ottawa — not every clinic in it. Openings are read from each clinic’s booking system into a regularly refreshed index rather than live, so confirm before you travel.
Every calendar we can read in Ottawa is full for the rest of today. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert usually beats refreshing.
All 1 practitioner we hold in Ottawa, ordered by who is free soonest — never by what anyone paid us. 1 practitioner have an opening in the next 30 days.
Local context
Every practitioner Ailio holds in Ottawa works at the same clinic, so "1 to choose from" overstates the choice — it is one waiting room and one set of hours. Half of the listed prices sit between $137.50 and $145, but the lengths behind them differ — $130 · 1 hr and $145 · 1 hr 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 $145, taken from 3 priced services at 1 clinic in Ottawa. Half of them fall between $137.50 and $145. 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 1 clinic we can currently check in Ottawa. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert is usually a better bet than refreshing.
