Otani Shiatsu Clinic - Toronto

Having recently discovering that insurance at work covers RMT massages, I came across this tiny place at 24 Roncesvalles Ave based on a friend's recommendation. At first glance, you may question the legitimacy of it. However, after the first massage, you will discover what consistent and great work they do. There are two types of massages available: professional and student massages. If you are interested in claiming your massage under an insurance plan, professional is the way to go (costing around $63 for 60 mins). Student massages are also great if you do not have insurance coverage but would like to relax after a stressful day - best part is that student massages are super reasonable! I highly recommend booking an appointment with Noriko if you have any muscular problems or particular aches and pains you can't get rid of. She is the owner of Otani and will take good care of you (though she charges about $5 more for 60 mins).

I love this place. It isn't the most upscale looking massage therapy office but they do an amazing job. If you ask for a student massage (as in a student will give you the massage, you don't need to be a student) you get a 1 hour massage for $30. It is amazing and definitely does readjust your back. It's located at Queen and Roncesvalles in Toronto so it's easy to get to by car or streetcar.
