Begin your journey toward relaxation, pain relief, and enhanced well-being by scheduling an appointment with one of our skilled massage therapists. Our team is committed to providing treatments designed to address your specific needs, whether you're seeking relief from tension, recovering from an injury, or simply aiming to improve your overall wellness.
What should I expect during my first massage therapy appointment?
Your first appointment begins with a consultation where your massage therapist will discuss your health history, areas of concern, and treatment goals. You'll then receive a personalized massage session tailored to your needs. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to complete any paperwork and relax before your treatment.
How often should I get a massage?
The frequency of massage therapy depends on your individual needs and goals. For general wellness and stress relief, once a month is often beneficial. If you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or training intensively, more frequent sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) may be recommended. Your massage therapist will help create a treatment plan that works for you.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance?
Most extended health insurance plans in Alberta cover Registered Massage Therapy (RMT). Coverage amounts vary by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider. We provide direct billing for many insurance companies. Massage therapy may also be covered under WCB or MVA claims with proper documentation.
What's the difference between deep tissue and relaxation massage?
Relaxation massage uses gentle, flowing strokes to promote overall relaxation, reduce stress, and improve circulation. Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and targeted techniques to address muscle tension, chronic pain, and specific problem areas. Your therapist can adjust pressure throughout your session based on your comfort and needs.
What should I wear to my massage appointment?
You'll undress to your comfort level and be professionally draped with sheets throughout the session—only the area being worked on is exposed. Most clients undress completely or leave on underwear. Wear comfortable clothing to and from your appointment, and avoid heavy meals right before your session.
