Each of these is a page of its own, with its own list and its own prices. The chips at the top of this page filter these same results without leaving.
Openings are read from each clinic’s own booking system and kept regularly up to date; prices are what clinics publish. No clinic pays for position here and Ailio takes no commission.
Ailio holds 89 practitioners across 95 clinics in Nelson, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $109 and $160, but the lengths behind them differ — $10 · 1 hr and $300 · 1 hr are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments. 1 clinic here cannot currently be checked for availability, so anything this page says about openings is about the rest.
Massage therapy is the most widely indexed treatment on Ailio, which means the price range on this page is wide by nature: an initial assessment, a 30-minute focused treatment and a 90-minute session are all "massage", and they are not the same purchase. The length beside each price is what makes two clinics comparable.

Massage therapy is not covered by MSP for most people. MSP’s supplementary benefits pay a set amount per visit toward a limited number of visits a year, and only for patients receiving premium assistance — everyone else pays the clinic’s listed price and claims it on their own extended-health plan if they have one. Treatment funded by ICBC or WorkSafeBC is different again: those bodies pay the clinic directly, so an approved claim does not spend the annual maximum on your own plan.
No. Registered massage therapists in British Columbia are direct-access practitioners, so you can book without seeing a doctor first. A referral may still be required by your own extended-health plan before it will reimburse you, and ICBC and WorkSafeBC treatment depends on an open claim rather than a referral — check with your insurer, not the clinic.
Right now, yes: 54 openings are still free today at 9 clinics, out of the 47 clinics we can currently check. We could not check 1 other clinic in Nelson, so there may be more. Openings are read from each clinic’s own calendar and kept regularly up to date, rather than checked live, so confirm with the clinic before you travel.
12 clinics of the 47 clinics whose billing page we have read in Nelson state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (2) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (11) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. We have not read the billing page of 1 other clinic in Nelson; that is a gap in our records, not a clinic that declines to direct-bill. These are the clinics’ own words, repeated — confirm with them before you book, because whether a particular claim goes through is between the clinic and the payer.
Across 9 clinics, out of the 47 clinics we can currently check and 1 we cannot. Times come straight from each clinic’s calendar and expire when they are taken. You don’t need an account to look — signing in is only asked for once you pick a time to book.
