Meet Michael Ricci
Registered Massage Therapist
“When I was younger, I was involved in a lot of sports, and I was constantly getting injured, and I’ve been to a bunch of different practitioners. I saw limited results, but I was referred to a very competent massage therapist, and she was able to solve all my issues through her manual work, acupuncture, and more. She definitely helped me. So I thought, ‘Wow, this is great. I think I’m gonna pay it forward.'”
Michael went on to study at Humber College, completing a comprehensive three-year massage therapy program. Since becoming an RMT, he’s continued to add new skills to his toolbox, including certifications in clinical cupping and contemporary medical acupuncture through McMaster University. He’s also planning to begin osteopathy studies in the near future.

Sports-Focused Care with a Practical Approach
Michael works with clients of all backgrounds but especially enjoys helping athletes recover and perform at their best. He takes time to understand the nature of each injury—how it happened, what movements are involved, and how to support the healing process. He offers therapeutic massage, deep tissue, soft tissue work, joint mobilization, electro-acupuncture, cupping, and rehabilitative exercise prescription.
Each treatment plan is tailored to what the client is comfortable with and what will be most effective. Michael also collaborates with other practitioners in the office to make sure every client receives well-rounded care.
Real-World Experience, Real Results
Michael focuses on results, not just relaxation. He’s particularly skilled in working with active clients like soccer and hockey players, where injuries can be complex and movement-specific. He enjoys the challenge of figuring out what’s going on and finding the best way forward.
When he’s not at the clinic, you’ll likely find him at the rink—Michael still plays hockey once or twice a week.
