Ali Frederick, RMT, DOMP
We know that it’s difficult to relieve pain in only one treatment. That’s why our experienced massage therapist, Ali Frederick, creates a detailed treatment plan for every patient. She understands your concerns and helps you come up with a solution instead of only dealing with ongoing symptoms.
Ali gives you an end goal to relieve your pain, and a clear pathway to get there.
We believe that your treatment does not end when you leave. Instead, Ali empowers you with at-home stretches, exercises and dietary suggestions that will decrease the number of treatments needed to alleviate your condition.
Ali’s skills include:
- Osteopathic techniques
- Lymphatic drainage
- Cupping therapy
- Therapeutic breathing techniques
- Fascial release
- Visceral (organ) osteopathy
- Movement therapy
- Ortho-bionomy
- As well as knowledge about the impact of dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
In some cases, massage alone cannot completely heal the condition. Ali is also a certified manual osteopath and will incorporate these techniques into her treatments. You can read more about her skills as a Manual Osteopath here.

Ali is a superior massage therapist that I would recommend to my best friend and even to my own mother. If you have pain, stress or over worked muscles or even an illness that you need relief from, then I would book an appointment with Ali to end your suffering. You will not be disappointed.

After having tennis elbow for nearly a year, I was recommended Mark to look at doing some acupuncture. After a couple of treatments, I was already seeing the benefit! Mark then recommended that I saw Ali to add massage and stretching to the treatment plan. Well, after suffering for nearly 12 months, I was fixed in under 4 weeks. You really know your stuff guys, one happy chappy here, thanks! I recommend both the acupuncture and massage therapy.

How many massage therapy treatments will it take before I see improvement?
On average, 3-5 visits will be enough for you to see an improvement in your symptoms.
Our massage therapists strongly encourage all patients to fully participate in the at-home exercises they prescribe. This will help speed up your recovery time.
They also request patients to make appointments on a regular basis to allow her to address health concerns before they escalate into painful conditions.
I started seeing Ali for massage therapy a few years back, and I loved her approach and the way she connects with people. It is so much more than just a massage, as she gives suggestions on stretches and exercises to address specific issues and target certain areas. I started seeing Mark for acupuncture, and love that he could refer to notes from Ali to know which areas could use some attention, and was amazed at how quickly it helped me. Mark is very good at explaining things that I might find difficult to understand. Little did I know that both Ali and Mark, with their extensive knowledge and training, would become such an essential part of my health care team as we work together where conventional medicine leaves some of us feeling stranded.
Are you covered by my insurance?
Yes. Ali and Pam are Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) with the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC). Their training and education allow them to write receipts for all insurance companies.
Patients who do best under our care:
- Do not want to rely on unnecessary drugs and medication as a permanent solution.
- Are interested in discovering the underlying cause of their problems, rather than just suppressing symptoms.
- Are motivated to play an active role in their own healing process.
- Are willing to make the necessary dietary and lifestyle changes to support their health and well-being.
In addition to the above, we find that many of our patients:
- Know that diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors play an integral part in healing.
- Feel that a combined approach between allopathic and alternative medicines is the most successful path to wellness.
- Know that effort is required to achieve healing – it is much more involved than swallowing a pill.
I’ve been seeing Ali on and off for over two years, initially due to chronic neck and back pain. Her sincere concern as well as readily sharing information about different colleagues helped further my progress quickly. She understands that everyone is different, and the body is a powerful piece to work with. From the email check-ups, to exhausting all options towards finding a change, Ali shows her care for her clients. Ali is a great therapist. I would recommend her to anyone who would like to see change, or who is in search of what could truly help outside of other modalities they’ve tried.
