How much does a massage cost in Montreal and Laval?

Sixty minutes is $115 before tax, ninety minutes is $155, manual lymphatic drainage is $135, and thirty minutes can be added to any massage for $65. A first massage is $89. All prices are before tax.

Is massage therapy taxed in Quebec?

Yes. Massage therapy is a taxable supply in Quebec rather than an exempt health service, so federal and provincial sales taxes are added at checkout. A 60-minute massage advertised at $115 therefore costs about $132 once paid, and every clinic in the province is in the same position.

Is the first massage discount real?

Yes. New clients pay $89 rather than $115, which is an introductory rate rather than a discount off an inflated number, and it applies once.

Massage prices in Montreal and Laval: $115 is not what leaves your account

Q: How should I compare prices between clinics?

Ask whether the stated hour is hands-on time or the appointment slot. A 60-minute massage that includes changing, consultation and settling can be fifty minutes on the table, which is a meaningfully different price per minute even when the headline number matches.

Q: Will my insurance reimburse a massage?

We provide receipts you can submit, but whether your plan reimburses depends on your policy and on the professional association your therapist belongs to, and those rules differ between insurers. Check your policy before assuming rather than after.

Q: Where does your rate sit in the market?

Across Greater Montreal, hourly massage rates commonly run from roughly $100 to $150 depending on the clinic and the therapist's credentials. Ours sits in the middle of that range; we are not the cheapest and do not claim to be.

Massage therapy is a taxable supply in Québec, not an exempt health service. GST and QST are added at checkout, which surprises people who assume anything therapeutic is tax-free.

So a 60-minute massage advertised at $115 costs about $132 by the time you have paid, and every clinic in the province is in the same position.

The full list, before and after tax

Service	Time	Before tax	Roughly, after tax
Your first massage	60 min	$89	about $102
Massage	60 min	$115	about $132
Massage	90 min	$155	about $178
Manual lymphatic drainage	60 min	$135	about $155
Add 30 minutes to any massage	+30 min	$65	about $75

The after-tax figures are the combined federal and Québec sales taxes applied to the listed rate. The rates are set by government rather than by us, and they change from time to time, so treat the right-hand column as close rather than exact.

The comparison most people get wrong

When you compare clinics, ask one question: is the stated hour hands-on time, or is it the appointment slot? A "60-minute massage" that includes changing, consultation and settling can be fifty minutes on the table. Against a clinic where sixty means sixty, that is a meaningfully different price per minute even when the headline number matches.

It is a fair question and a quick one, and any clinic will answer it.

Where our rate sits

Across greater Montréal, hourly massage rates commonly run from roughly $100 to $150 depending on the clinic and the therapist's credentials. Ours sits in the middle of that. We are not the cheapest and we are not pretending to be.

The first massage is genuinely cheaper

New clients pay $89 rather than $115. That is a real introductory rate rather than a discount off an inflated number, and it applies once.

Insurance receipts

We provide receipts you can submit. Whether your plan reimburses them depends on your plan and on the professional association your therapist belongs to, and those rules differ between insurers. Check your policy before you assume, rather than after — it is the sort of thing worth confirming in a five-minute phone call.

What we will not do

Advertise a price and let the tax be a surprise at the counter.
Quote an appointment slot as though it were treatment time.
Discount a first massage off a price nobody pays.
Promise your insurer will reimburse you.

This page is general information and is not tax, insurance or medical advice. Prices are current as of 3 September 2026, are per session, are stated before tax and can change. Massage therapy is a taxable supply in Québec rather than an exempt health service, and federal and provincial sales taxes are added at checkout; those rates are set by government, can change, and the after-tax figures shown are approximate illustrations rather than quotes. The introductory rate applies to a client's first massage only. Receipts suitable for submission to an insurer are provided; New Age Spa does not guarantee that any insurer will accept or reimburse a claim, as coverage depends on the individual policy and on professional association membership requirements that differ between insurers. Market rate ranges mentioned are general observations about the Greater Montréal area and are not a comparison with any named clinic.
