If you work in downtown Montreal, you’re not short on massage options: clinics inside office towers, spas near the Palais des congrès, studios in Old Montreal. Yet a large share of our clients come from exactly there — Place Ville Marie, the Quartier international, the Old Port — and walk seven minutes to Griffintown. Here’s why.
Griffintown is downtown — minus the office tower
Centre Thérapeutique Griffintown is at 1195 Wellington Street, Suite 203, steps from the Lachine Canal. In practice:
Bonaventure metro: 7-minute walk.
Square-Victoria–OACI metro: 10-minute walk.
Old Montreal (McGill Street): 8 to 10 minutes on foot.
Driving: paid public parking 2 minutes away on Young Street at Smith.
You leave the office at 5, you’re on the table at 5:15, and you go home relaxed instead of back into the tower.
Open when you’re free, not when it’s convenient for us
Most downtown clinics close at 6 or 7 pm — the same time the offices do. We’re open:
Monday to Thursday: 10:30 am to 10 pm
Friday to Sunday: 10:30 am to 9 pm
An 8 pm appointment on a Tuesday, 7:30 pm on a Friday, or Sunday afternoon: all possible without negotiating with your work schedule. On Monday and Tuesday daytime, the clinic offers aesthetic services; massage therapy starts at 4 pm.
One price, no formula to decode
Every massage costs the same, whatever the technique:
60 minutes: $120 + tax
90 minutes: $180 + tax
120 minutes: $240 + tax
Package of 4 × 60 min: $400 + tax (any massage)
No monthly membership, no “first-visit rate” that jumps on the second visit, no surcharge for choosing deep tissue over Swedish. You pick the length; the therapist adapts the technique to what you need.
Insurance receipts, without the hassle
All our massage therapists are certified and members of recognized professional associations in Quebec. An insurance receipt is issued on request after every session. One tip: if your insurer only accepts a specific association, mention it when booking and we’ll match you with the right therapist.
What 700 people before you had to say
Centre Thérapeutique Griffintown has over 700 Google reviews with a 4.9 out of 5 average. What clients mention most: clean rooms, consistent quality from one therapist to the next, and the fact that we actually listen — pressure, problem areas, choice of oil.
Which massage for which desk problem
Neck, shoulders, upper back after eight hours at a screen: therapeutic or deep tissue massage.
Lower back after months of sitting: intensive therapeutic massage, often combined with cupping.
Heavy legs, swelling after a flight or a long day standing: manual lymphatic drainage.
Stress, poor sleep: relaxation or hot stone massage.
Back at the gym after a break: sports massage.
Not sure? Book a 60-minute session and describe your situation when you arrive. The therapist will choose.
