The Sutherland-Chan massage clinic is by far one of Toronto's best massage clinics. They offer relaxing and therapeutic Swedish massage. I experience chronic pain in my neck and find that a one-hour session at Sutherland-Chan can relieve this pain and resulting headaches for up to a week.

If you book in advance it's like $35 or so and a full hour, professional massage. Only problem is that it's not offered that often-once or twice a week at certain hours, and it's obviously packed.
But it's soo good and for those of us that can't afford regular spa massages this is a definite must-visit! -

Wow, how have I not reviewed Sutherland-Chan yet?
It is pretty effin awesome. I have definitely had better massages here than when I've paid full price for them, but I've also had better massages by seasoned professionals. It can be hit or miss, but in general I've only had great experiences here.
Bottom line, for the price it can't be beat. It is $37 for a session that lasts an hour, and that includes an assessment and some follow-up. They also have "stress-buster" cards which, when filled out, entitle you to a free massage. Awesomeness.
The real secret here is their "specialty clinics" - focused on specific injuries or conditions, such as pregnancy, sports, central nervous system, M.S., and others. What is amazing about these massages is that they are $15 each. Wowza! I went last night for the pregnancy clinic and I plan to go every week at that price - the student was knowledgeable and really helpful with low back pain. It was great. It is actually affordable and accessible to people of all socio-economic classes!
One star off because while I love it here, there are times where it can be a less than relaxing experience. Since all the clients are only divided by curtains you can hear all the nitty gritty details of other people's injuries or complaints. It can also be hit or miss with the students, so my best advice is fine a massage therapist you like and stick with that person for as long as you can - you won't regret it. -

I have been going there for over a year. It is the best student clinic I have found in Toronto.
They are very professional. They listen to your requirements regarding draping, privacy etc.
They take time to assess your issues and even suggest stretches that you can use in between massages.
Even though the price is affordable, they do offer insurance receipts. Some therapists are better than others but I must agree with another reviewer, I have had better massages at Sutherland Chan than I have had some places where I paid full price.
Always worth the time and the money spent.
Treat yourself! -

My visit here was my first massage ever (I know, right?) so I don't have much to compare it to. That said, it was a lovely experience. The staff were pleasant, professional, and prompt. My massage was with Rod, who made sure to drape carefully and explain the whole process to me before we started. I had a gift certificate for a one hour massage and left feeling relaxed and smooshy.
While the treatment room itself was calm and comfortable, with dark curtains and wood accents, I could hear staff talking in the hallway which interrupted my chill a bit. The place also has a slightly institutional, impersonal feeling.
I'd definitely go back but I suspect that there's somewhere slightly more perfect out there. -

I'm a huge fan of getting massages and before I found Sophi at Toronto Bodyworks I used to go to Sutherland-Chan with some regularity to get assessed and massaged by its students.
It's a pretty good deal at $20 per massage - sure, it's not as customized or relaxing as a 'professional' massage from an RMT and it can feel a bit clinical with the lack of privacy and educators coming in to supervise and help assess, but it's cheap. And to be quite honest if a boyfriend or girlfriend gives you a massage, it feels good, right? And this will at least be as good as an amateur massage from someone with no training, so you're all set if you just want to get rid of some basic aches and pains. -

Okay, one thing to be weary over is being massaged by a first-term student. They are just learning the ropes, so the massage won't be AS effective.
