Massage therapy is accepted in some provinces but not others. If you are a resident of British Columbia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Ontario or Newfoundland, you can claim the expense.

Keep in mind that medical expenses are not deductible in full. The first 3% of your net income is used to calculate the actual claim. For example, if your net income is $30,000, the first $900 of your medical expenses are not deductible ($30,000 X .03 = $900). If your medical expenses total $950, only $50 will end up as a deduction.
