Practical information on adult-oriented massage and body-rub businesses, with local licensing context.
Adult.ca uses this section for licensed or otherwise lawfully operating non-therapeutic body-rub and adult-oriented massage businesses. It is separate from registered massage therapy and medical treatment.
Rules are local. A business category that is licensed in one municipality may be regulated differently in another, so city licensing information matters.
The City of Toronto requires a Body Rub Parlour licence and currently limits the number of such licences to 25.
Toronto licensing informationMississauga licenses both body-rub parlours and body-rub attendants and publishes separate application requirements and fees.
Mississauga licensing informationUseful details include the business address, official contact information, current hours, the relevant municipal licence where it can be verified, and how recently the information was checked. Registered massage therapy and adult body-rub businesses are different services and should not be treated as interchangeable.
