Pragmatic treatments are the rule at this sparely decorated but wonderfully aromatic second-floor spa on St. Laurent, run by a personable crew of massage therapists. One of the leading ecologically friendly spas in North America, Tonic has launched a new line of alternative healing services to complement the spa, most specifically their Caribbean Body Treatment which uses mango and coconut to bring your skin to a shining glory.

The Swedish Massage is a gentle but firm massage in a traditional European technique that relieves muscle tension and improves circulation; the Shiatsu massage is performed by manipulating muscle articulations through stretching and applying pressure; Hot Stone Massage has hot stones applied to the body for the heat to penetrate affected areas causing an immediate release of muscular tension. More alluring still are the private rooms, where you can go and be by yourself, forgetting for an hour the kids, husband, and desk job, only to emerge refreshed and ready to re-engage with all of them.

Hours: Mon.: 9:00am - 5:00pm; Tue. & Wed.: 9:00am - 8:00pm; Thu. & Fri.: 10:00am - 9:00pm; Sat.: 9:00am - 6:00pm.
