Why do unused massage benefits disappear at year end?
Most group benefit plans work on a use-it-or-lose-it basis. Your massage allowance is a yearly maximum, not a savings account, so unused dollars usually do not roll over.
Not every plan resets on January 1. Some reset on the policy anniversary date, so check before you plan anything. Three quick checks today will tell you where you stand:
• Your reset date: January 1 or your policy anniversary, as shown in your booklet or app
• Your remaining balance: this shows how many sessions you can still fit in
• Your coverage percentage and per-visit cap: if your plan covers 100% with a cap of $170 or more, a 90-minute RMT Swedish session may cost you $0
How do you use massage benefits before year end in Toronto?
Map your remaining balance to sessions, then book them two to three weeks apart. The table below assumes your plan covers 100% of RMT Swedish Massage at Imperial Retreat.
December is often the busiest month for RMT bookings, because many people remember their benefits at the same time. Booking in October or November gives you more choice of times and room for a second or third visit before your plan resets.
Some employers also offer an HSA, a spending account on top of the regular plan. If your massage coverage is below 100%, an HSA may cover the difference. HSA rules vary, so check your plan portal.
Balance left | Suggested plan before December 31 |
$125 or less | One 45-minute ($100) or 60-minute ($125) session |
$170 | One 90-minute session |
$340 | Two 90-minute sessions, about three weeks apart |
$465 | Two 90-minute sessions plus one 60-minute session |
$510 | Three 90-minute sessions, if your plan allows three visits |
What is included in the free facial with a 90-minute RMT session?
Any RMT session of 90 minutes or longer booked Monday to Friday until December 31, 2026 includes a complimentary 30-minute mini facial: a quick cleanse, a treatment mask and a moisturizing finish. Many guests welcome it as the cold, dry weather arrives.
The facial is free and never appears on your RMT insurance receipt. Your receipt shows only the RMT session from your Registered Massage Therapist.
During the 90-minute RMT session, your RMT focuses on the areas the year has left tight, often the neck and shoulders from screens and the lower back from commuting.
How much does an RMT session cost at Imperial Retreat?
RMT prices depend on the style and length you choose. Direct billing is available for many group plans; call your location to confirm yours before your visit.
If your plan covers 100% of the session price, you leave with nothing to pay. Otherwise, you pay the difference between the session price and what your plan covers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do unused massage benefits roll over to next year?
On most group plans, unused massage benefits do not roll over. The annual maximum resets and unused amounts are lost, so check your plan for your reset date.
Can I book several RMT sessions close together in December?
Yes, as long as your plan allows it. Some plans limit visits per year, and spacing sessions two to three weeks apart is usually more comfortable.
Does the free facial offer end December 31, 2026?
Yes. The 90-minute RMT session must take place Monday to Friday and be completed by December 31, 2026 to include the complimentary mini facial. The facial is never billed to insurance.
Does every benefits plan reset on January 1?
Not every benefits plan resets on January 1. Some plans reset on the policy anniversary date, so check your booklet or app before planning year-end visits.
Can two people use their benefits at the same visit?
Two guests with their own coverage can book RMT sessions at the same time, subject to availability. RMT Couple Swedish Massage is $250 for 60 minutes or $340 for 90 minutes, and coverage depends on each person's plan.
