Why Choose Myocare Leaside?
Every Massage Therapy Practitioner Is a Registered Massage Therapist
Every massage therapy session at Myocare Leaside is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. This means clinically trained care, professional accountability, detailed treatment records, and insurance-eligible receipts. It also means you can be confident that the practitioner you are seeing has met the educational and ethical standards set by their professional regulatory body. If you want to understand what this distinction means in practice, our article on RMT vs non-RMT massage explains the difference clearly.
Clinical Care, Not a Spa Experience
Myocare is a clinical massage therapy and wellness practice. Every session begins with a health intake and is designed around your specific presenting complaint and treatment goals. We do not use a fixed protocol or a standard session format for all clients. If you want to understand what your first appointment will involve before you arrive, our article on how to pick an RMT in Toronto and what to expect at your first appointment is a useful read.
Direct Billing Makes Treatment Accessible
You do not need to pay the full session cost upfront and wait for a reimbursement cheque. Myocare Leaside bills your insurer directly at the time of your appointment. You pay only the portion not covered by your plan. Most extended health benefit plans cover registered massage therapy, acupuncture, and osteopathic manual treatment under paramedical services. You can view the current list of insurers we work with on our direct billing page. For a full explanation of how direct billing works, see our article on direct billing for massage therapy in Toronto.
Integrated Multidisciplinary Care
Myocare offers registered massage therapy, acupuncture, and osteopathic manual treatment under one clinical roof. For complex presentations where a single modality is not sufficient, coordinated care across two or three modalities produces meaningfully better outcomes than any one approach alone. Our practitioners are aware of each other’s work and can provide coordinated care when your presentation benefits from it.
A Consistent Clinical Standard Across Both Locations
Myocare Leaside operates to the same clinical standard as our Annex location at 1096 Bathurst Street, which has been providing registered massage therapy in Toronto since 2010. You can read about the history and values of the practice on our about Myocare page.
Serving Leaside, East York, and the Bayview Corridor
Our Leaside clinic is located at 1517a Bayview Ave in East York, directly on the 11 Bayview TTC bus route. The closest major intersection is Bayview Avenue and Laird Drive. The clinic is accessible by foot, bike, or transit for clients throughout Leaside, Davisville, and the surrounding neighbourhoods, and by car with parking available nearby.
Leaside and the surrounding area have a strong tradition of active, health-conscious community life. We look forward to being a reliable part of that community and providing the quality of clinical massage therapy and wellness care that makes a genuine and lasting difference to the people who live and work here.
