We’re also known as the place your back, your neck and that weird knot between your shoulder blades has been begging for. If you’re looking for Bloorwest Toronto chiropractic, acupuncture and massage therapy care, for all ages, all under one calming roof, we’re the clinic for you. Whether it’s tech neck, lower back drama, jaw tension or a nervous system that’s in permanent “go mode,” we’re here to help you.

Going through your
daily life without back pain shouldn’t be optional. It’s a must!

If you’re a corporate baddie by day, but sitting like a folded lawn chair by 3pm? It’s time to change that!


If you’re hitting deadlines out of the park and scaling your career, but are living in a state of low-key back pain… It’s time to change that!


If you're running between boardroom meetings and kids playdates with constant knots in your back... It's time to change that too!

What we treat

Small pains, big tension and everything in between.

  • If you’re constantly battling headaches, your neck (and jaw!) might be trying to tell you something…

    Tight muscles and stiff joints in the neck are major culprits and they often bring jaw tension along for the ride.

    We use gentle, targeted techniques to release that built-up tension and restore healthy movement, helping reduce how often those headaches show up in your life.

  • Long hours at your desk can quietly build up tension, especially in your neck, shoulders and upper back.

    Over time, this can throw off your posture and leave you feeling stiff, sore and out of alignment.

    We use hands-on techniques to gently release tight muscles, support healthy posture and guide you through exercises that help create long-term structural balance in your body.

  • Low back pain can show up for so many reasons, like too much sitting, poor lifting mechanics, even old injuries. But no matter the cause, it can seriously disrupt your daily life.

    We take a comprehensive approach to care: reducing pain, restoring mobility, addressing the root causes, and building strength to support long-lasting relief.

  • That deep, radiating discomfort down your leg? It could be your sciatic nerve asking for help.

    When this major nerve gets irritated or compressed, it can send pain from your lower back all the way down, making sitting, walking or even resting feel difficult.

    Our approach gently eases pressure on the nerve, reduces inflammation and helps restore natural movement, so you can get back to feeling grounded in your body.

  • From growing bumps to growing kids, we’re here to support every stage of your family’s journey.

    We offer gentle, personalized care for expectant mothers, new parents and children. Whether it’s easing the physical changes of pregnancy, supporting postpartum recovery or helping little ones thrive through each stage of development.

  • Whether you're bouncing back from an injury or working to stay ahead of one, we’re here to keep you moving at your best.

    Our care is tailored to support recovery, restore mobility and enhance performance, helping athletes of all levels train smarter, move better and feel stronger in their bodies.

  • Stress and anxiety often show up both emotionally and physically, creating muscle tension, disrupted sleep and a feeling of being unsettled.

    Our treatments take a holistic approach to calm the nervous system while addressing the musculoskeletal tension patterns that build up in response to chronic stress. This dual focus helps restore both inner calm and physical ease.

  • We support healthy aging by stimulating the body’s natural ability to renew and repair.

    Our treatments are designed to improve circulation, boost collagen production, and revitalize skin tone, enhancing your glow from the inside out while promoting long-term wellness.

  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep is often linked to an overactive mind or imbalances within the body.

    Our treatments work to calm the nervous system, regulate internal rhythms, and promote deeper, more restorative sleep.

The long desk hours and the screen time.
The “I’ll stretch later” promises that are almost always broken.
We know your body’s story.

That’s why we do more than just crack backs and knead knots.
We tailor every session to your body, your schedule and your goals.

Because (PLOT TWIST!) your back pain might not even start in your back. Tight hips, jaw tension, poor desk posture, even chronic stress ALL shows up in your spine eventually. That’s why we don’t just crack and go. We offer different modalities and a blissful triple threat for treating aches and pains, and helping you get better posture:

  • CHIROPRACTIC to get things aligned where they should be.

  • MASSAGE THERAPY to convince your muscles to calm down.

  • ACUPUNCTURE to melt tension from the inside out

  • And DEEP FACIALS after all of the above to help you really bliss out!

Plus we offer everything you need to kiss back pain goodbye for good under one roof…

NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED?

Our FREE POSTURE ASSESSMENT is the game-changer you’ve been looking for, especially if you’ve been stuck at a desk for most of the week. One 9-5er came in with constant headaches and her scan showed her head was severely shifted forward (hello tech neck!) She booked a chiropractic consultation, had a few gentle chiro treatments and said, “I feel like someone uncrunched me!”

Our FREE POSTURE ASSESSMENTS will help you learn what is happening with your body and what it may need; chiro treatment, a relaxing massage or some acupuncture.

  • I've been going to Holistic Refinery for almost a year now. Every time I go, I have a fantastic experience. I get my massages done by Kaitlyn. She’s always incredibly attentive, taking the time to listen and focus on the areas that need the most care. Her technique is both therapeutic and relaxing—she always targets my pain points. Highly recommend this clinic!

  • I've had such a positive experience with this chiropractic clinic. I've been a few times now, and every visit has been smooth, professional, and genuinely helpful. Dr. Alessia takes the time to explain every step of the treatment and how it’s tailored specifically to my needs, which makes me feel informed and well cared for. My whole family, including my six-year-old daughter, has also been using their massage and acupuncture services and we’re all very happy. The team is compassionate, skilled, and truly focused on our well-being. Highly recommend!

    ~ A. J. ~

  • The calming atmosphere of the clinic always makes me feel relaxed, and I leave each appointment feeling more limber. I'm usually apprehensive with chiropractic treatments, but Dr. Alessia is so gentle and knowledgeable that she makes me feel at ease every time. The location is also so convenient and accessible!
