RMT for the Markham community

How to reach us from Markham

Our clinic sits on Markham Road just south of Steeles, right at the Scarborough–Markham line, so it is a genuinely short trip from south Markham. From Milliken Mills and Middlefield you are minutes away; from Unionville, Markham Village, Berczy or Cornell it is a straight run down Kennedy Road or Markham Road (Highway 48), or a quick hop off Highway 407. Markham GO and Centennial GO riders are close by, and there is on-site parking so you are not circling for a spot.

What Registered Massage Therapy helps with

An RMT is a regulated Ontario health professional registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). Registered Massage Therapy is assessed, therapeutic care — not just relaxation — for muscle tension, back and neck pain, sciatica, sports injuries, tension headaches, and pregnancy-related discomfort. For Markham's many desk-based and commuting professionals, it's a practical reset for screen strain and long-drive stiffness.

Our RMT treatments

• Deep tissue & relaxation massage
• Sports & injury rehabilitation massage
• Prenatal & postpartum massage
• Myofascial release & trigger point therapy
• Cupping

What to expect on your first visit

Your therapist assesses you, discusses your goals, and builds a realistic plan rather than an open-ended commitment. Bring your insurance details and we'll provide a receipt with the therapist's CMTO number, or direct-bill your plan where possible.

Insurance

Insurance: Registered Massage Therapy is insurance-eligible and we offer direct billing to most extended health plans, so eligible Markham clients often pay little or nothing at the visit. We'll always tell you upfront what you can claim.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer direct billing for massage in Markham?

Yes. We direct-bill most major Ontario insurers for Registered Massage Therapy, so eligible clients often pay little or nothing at the visit. Bring your plan details and we'll handle the claim where your plan allows.

How far is Aara from central Markham?

We're on Markham Road just south of Steeles, at the Scarborough–Markham border — a short trip down Kennedy Road or Markham Road, or off Highway 407, from most of Markham.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No referral is needed to book. Some insurance plans require a physician's note for reimbursement, so check your specific plan before your visit.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition — acute tension often eases in a few sessions, while injury rehab may need a longer plan. Your RMT assesses you and recommends a realistic schedule.
