Each Massage Addict clinic provides a professional, clean, comfortable and safe environment for clients to enjoy. There are three therapeutic treatment options for clients; massage therapy, acupuncture and reflexology.

Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is a full body treatment that helps ease the pain related to muscle tension, injury recovery, stress relief or the need for relaxation. Common massage treatments include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Prenatal, Sport and Trigger Point.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the placement of thin, sterile needles that are hand-inserted into specific acupoints to access your body’s meridians to help relieve pain and improve your overall well-being.

Reflexology

Reflexology promotes relaxation and the release of tension which increases energy and enhances general well-being. Your hands and feet are full of pressure points, each connected to a specific body part. Reflexology focuses on those vital connections to help energize the body.

Massage Addict is Canada's largest membership-based therapeutic provider in Canada.
