Welcome to Ability Studio

Ability Massage Therapy & Acupuncture Studio is celebrating 15 years in business! We have grown up in this community and have had so many wonderful blessings come our way over the years. We started out with one treatment room in this big space, and grew to 5 treatment rooms, later expanding to a second location in Stittsville.

Our clients are a really big part of our success. Thank you for supporting us, bringing in your children, parents and friends. It is a true honour to watch your families grow, to see where your lives have taken you and we look forward to hearing about your experiences for many more years to come.

On behalf of myself and Bruce, we want to thank all the therapists past and present who have put their time and energy into this studio, elevating the standards of massage therapy and traditional Chinese medicine. We wish everyone a healthy 2022 and rest assured, we will continue to do our best to offer our services, our compassion, and our sense of humour to all who walk through our doors.

In good health,

Rose, Bruce and the ATeam

Ability's Featured Therapist

Rose Murdoch, Owner

RMT since 2003, DAc since 2009

Chronic Depletion
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
Concussions

2023 is here and alternative health care is offering so many treatment options. This is the beginning of my 20th year in practice as a massage therapist, 14th year offering acupuncture and 13th year as a small business owner.

Throughout my career, I have studied many modalities that I've blended into my own treatment style. My favorite treatments are those that deal with acute pain using craniosacral, ultrasound, and acupuncture. I strive to help my clients leave with reduced pain, improved mobility and a positive outlook on their condition knowing an appropriate treatment plan is in place. I also have found great satisfaction in working pro-actively with my clients as they work towards their athletic goals, and functional daily activities.

As a long term sufferer of chronic low back pain, I was able to treat my body with massage, acupuncture and pilates.

I am hoping to meet and work with new clients who are ready to make 2023 a great year for their health!

About Us

In 2007, Bruce opened Ability Registered Massage Therapy in the heart of Kanata North’s business park. The clinic had one treatment room that treated clients while he continued to expand the facility. Over the years, Ability transformed from a one room clinic into a five room facility that offered therapists training, financial aid and a support system encouraging professional development.

In 2010, Rose purchased Ability and expanded its services to include Traditional Chinese Medicine, thus adopting its current name. Along with our talented staff, we have a much larger network of health care professionals that we work with if you needed something more than we normally offer. We work with physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, nutritionists, naturopaths, pilates and yoga instructors, meditation, hypnosis and reiki healers, psychologists, social workers and dentists. Our network is expanding and to go beyond your expectations when it comes to referring to another specialist.
