OrthoSports takes pride in having its very own certified orthopedic massage therapist, Sergey Raiter. This establishment does orthopedic massage to address ligaments, tendons, other connective tissues, and joints.

OrthoSports also has a membership program. So, those in need of a relaxing day-off now and then can have seamless appointments with the clinic.

Customer Reviews

Read these reviews to know what OrthoSports was able to do for its clients:

“I went to Sergei with no big expectations but i always hope some treatments will help me. I have had headaches for so many years and they are slowly getting worse. Usually i take pills 7 days/week. I have also lower back problems when i have walked or trained. The lower back is really good now and not painful after long walks. My headaches are almost gone. Some days i dont feel anything, such a good feeling and strange at the same time.

I have taken 5 treatments all together, also for shoulder and runners knee. I have tried different massages, chiropractors and more with no results but this is incredible. Thank you Sergei for the help.”—Ari Nyman

“Sergey’s massages are unlike any other I’ve experienced. After having one appointment with him, I was hooked and couldn’t return to any other therapists. His treatments truly get to the root of the issue, to the extent that I don’t really need to see him often. His massages are for people looking to work through issues and get rid of them, not so much for relaxation. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who understands the body, assesses your situation at the start of every massage appointment, and works to address the root cause of a problem.”—Aasha Williams-Blanco

Great find!”—Ian MacdonaldIan Macdonald

My only concern was the massage room was bright and too cold but all good”—Janina Lou Morales

Intrinsi caters to Calgarians who need holistic treatment for their chronic muscle and joint pains. That’s because it’s a medical clinic and rehabilitation facility with osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and of course, massage therapists.

With all these experts under one roof, Intrinsi can provide pain relief for those diagnosed with chronic pain or orthopedic conditions. When it comes to massage therapy, it does deep tissue massages and also prescribes suitable exercises.

Each therapist also has a specialty, so those in need of next-level care can simply choose which physiotherapist or massage therapist they want. Clients can do this through Intrinsi’s online booking system.

To add to all these services, Intinsi also does gait assessments, bike fitting, and golf screenings. So, Calgarians who want to stay active and sporty without aggravating their orthopedic conditions can rely on this rehabilitation facility.

The only thing we didn’t like about Intrinsi is that it has short operating hours on Saturdays and is even closed on Sundays. And with most of its weekday opening hours ending early, booking treatments can become difficult for those with busy schedules.

Customer Reviews

“I’ve been clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth for years, and have caused a lot of wearing on my teeth in addition to tension and tightness in my jaw. I went to see Joel and he has helped me enormously. He was very honest and upfront about each of our accountabilities during the course of treatment, and made me feel confident that he would only suggest treatment that would be beneficial to my  goals. He gave me some easy exercises to do on my own in addition to the treatment he provided. By the end of treatment I was able to open my jaw 15 mm wider. Joel shows an interest in whole-person wellness and I felt he asked me more questions than my family doctor ever has. Really happy with my experience and definitely made me a believer in osteopathy!”—Megan H

“I had the best experience with Intrinsi!! I highly recommend them to anyone! I went to see Jon after I had experienced 2 weeks of the worst neck pain of my life, and wow is he sure a miracle worker!!! In only 2 visits Jon had me back to normal!! He is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and knew exactly where my pain was steaming from and how to help it go away.  He followed up with me a few days after my visit to see how I was doing, which was such a nice surprise. He also gave me exercises to do at home, which helped me so much when I wasn’t able to come in due to COVID restrictions.”—Courtney Redekopp

To carry out such a wide range of treatments, Why Knot has a team of registered massage therapists, each with a different specialization. The great thing about this clinic is that even allows its customers to choose which practitioner they want for their appointment.

The only things we didn’t like about this clinic are that it has relatively pricier services and that its shortest massage therapy session is at 45 minutes. So, if you’re only looking for a half-hour appointment, then this may not be the best option for you.

Luckily, Why Knot is open all week and has extended opening hours. This way, even those with busy schedules can truly find time for their massage appointments.

Customer Reviews

Most customers like Why Knot not only for its excellent massage therapies but also for its friendly and informative approach. Here are reviews that echo such thoughts:

“Had a great experience at Whyknot massage. I had a very sore hip and was lucky to make a short notice appointment. I arrived early to complete the new patient questionnaire. My therapist was very good at answering all my questions. She made very good use of our time, the massage was deep and thorough. She even gave me a few good stretches to help ease my pain. One day later I was feeling back to normal, I’m continuing with the stretches though to prevent any recurring pains. I would recommend Whyknot massage and I will use their services again next time.”—Edward Power

Customer Reviews

“My massage with Erin was nothing short of wonderful. You can tell she is an experienced Massage Therapist (20 years!). She listened to me intently, was very professional and the massage was EXACTLY what I needed. I will come back again and again. I would recommend her to everyone! -Linda, Calgary, AB When I booked with Paul for a rotator cuff injury I wasn’t sure what to expect. Even though he is an RMT, he was VERY specific with his treatment. Using active release, he was able to resolve my shoulder injury in two treatments. I highly recommend Paul for an injury specific treatment. He fixed me!”—Tyler

“There’s nothing like going to a place where they listen and actually hear what you’re saying. I’ve been to numerous other chiropractors and RMT’s for several injuries and have NEVER had the results as I’ve had at Cadence from both Dr. Ryan and Erin! Thanks to you both and to the welcoming and attentive assistants at the front.”—Gerard Gladney

Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews to tell you more about what you can expect from Fitness Canada’s services:

I also like that they use physical touch, and motion for healing but also some technology like ultrasound and electricity etc”—Jeanine Williams

“Have seen Barb a few times now at the Westbrook mall location. It is amazing how she has relieved my headaches with the work on my jaw! Seven weeks without a headache is a record for me.

Since it has a great background in Chinese medicine, Calgary B C Acupuncture does Tui Na massage and cupping deep tissue massage. That said, this is the only type of massage the clinic offers.

Customer Reviews

Dr. Chan is famous for his acupuncture treatments, but he has also gained positive reviews for his massage treatments and overall patient care. Here are reviews to tell you more:

“Dr. Chan was amazing! After a work incident, I was left with a very swollen spot the size of an egg on the top of my head. I went to seek help from Dr. Chan after failed attempts to get help from the hospital. He was amazing and helped me completely heal my head in a matter of months! The swelling has completely recovered due to his great advice, recommended herbs, and accupunture! I cannot thank him enough!”—Lenny Wong

“I initially went to Dr. Chan for pain in my shoulders at the recommendation of a friend and after 3 treatments of acupuncture and cupping I no longer get this usual pain. At the same time I mentioned I was experiencing leg and foot cramps every evening and which often woke me during the night. No calcium, magnesium, potassium through food and supplements nor plenty of water made any difference so Dr. Chan began acupuncture treatments to address this problem and after 5 treatments I am completely free from cramps. Such a blessing!”—Donna M

SERVICES	Sports massage, chiropractic, dry needling, physiotherapy, Graston technique, fascial manipulation, nutritional counselling, clinical pilates, acupuncture, custom exercise, cold laser therapy
WEBSITE	https://www.nationalspinecare.com/
ADDRESS	1815 10 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB
CONTACT DETAILS	(403) 270 7252
OPERATING HOURS	Monday – Thursday: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Just as its name suggests, National Spine Care & Sports Medicine (NSCSM) offers all kinds of treatments to keep your back and spine in peak condition. Its wellness team includes massage therapists, physiotherapists, dietitians, chiropractors, personal trainers, and acupuncturists.

With such a diverse team of experts, NSCSM can alleviate the pain from several musculoskeletal, neural, and fascial conditions. So, those in need of relief from headaches, neck and back pain, joint pain, sprains, and strains can rely on the clinic.

NSCSM’s services don’t even end after pain relief. This clinic also helps rebuild strength and improve health and wellness by taking patient education and preventive maintenance seriously.

Like other clinics offering massage therapy to ease symptoms from medical conditions, NSCSM does direct insurance billing. It also sends appointment reminders 2 days before the scheduled visit.

The only thing we didn’t like about this clinic is that it has short opening hours on Saturdays and is even closed on Sundays. Luckily, it opens as early as 7:00 AM to cater to more patients, especially those with tight training schedules.

Customer Reviews

Customers especially like how National Spine Care and Sports Medicine has holistic and integrated treatments. Here are just some of its patient reviews to tell you more:

“Highly recommend this clinic! I started going recently for chiropractor, physio and massage to maintain chronic spine issues and other pain related to past injuries. All staff I’ve been treated by are friendly, well informed and highly skilled. It’s great to have one clinic for all my health needs.”—Julia Schwindt

“I’ve been coming to National Spine Care for four years now for chronic pain management. I love my care team (physio, chiro and massage) – they coordinate behind the scenes to give me the best possible outcomes. I appreciate their approach to my case – very long-term prevention focused rather than quick fixes or unnecessary procedures. I feel better now than I did in my 20s! The administrative staff are awesome, too. I recommend National Spine Care to everyone, my sister and spouse both go there now as well.”—Kailey Lewis

16. Parkview Massage

SERVICES	Massage therapy, facial treatments, infrared body wraps, laser hair removal, waxing and tinting
WEBSITE	https://www.parkviewmassage.com/
ADDRESS	#3125, 380 Canyon Meadows DR SE  Calgary, AB T2J 7C3
CONTACT DETAILS	(587) 585-2535​
OPERATING HOURS	Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Parkview Massage is another spa with extended opening hours and all-week availability. With these opening hours and its wide range of massage treatments, Parkview can be a great place to spend a quiet weekend.

Aside from its availability, Parkview also offers affordability as most of its treatments are well within the average expected prices of massage therapies. However, this affordability doesn’t encompass its 30-minute massages because these alone cost $70.

The spa has five registered massage therapists on its team. Each of these RMTs is specialized in a type of massage.

So, Parkview can do therapeutic Swedish massages as well as prenatal, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and shockwave therapy. Additionally, Parkview offers couples massage to cater to those who want to spend more quality relaxation time with their partners.

Parkview also allows its customers, even those seeking couple massages, to customize their massage treatments. So, they can add hot stones, cupping, or aromatherapy treatments to their massage package.

Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews from clients who claim to have received the best massage from Parkview Spa:

“Beautiful facility! From the moment you step into Parkview to the moment you leave, it is a wonderful experience. The receptionist is welcoming (always offering a drink!) and the massage experience is amazing. I saw Gloria today and received the best massage I have ever had. Highly recommend this business for anyone looking for therapeutic massage.”—Jacqueline Lo

“I absolutely love this place and people who work there. I feel welcome every time I go there. Good customer service, cozy interior, everything is new and green. Simona is my guy for deep tissue massage. I highly recommend this place and her ?”—Martynas Gruodis

17. Lokahi Massage & Pregnancy Services

SERVICES	Prenatal massage, labour massage and doula services, postnatal massage, therapeutic massage, relaxation massage
WEBSITE	http://www.lokahimassage.ca/
ADDRESS	Tuscany Ravine Mews NW, Calgary, AB T3L 2W3
CONTACT DETAILS	(780) 370-2701 | [email protected]

Now, if you need massage therapy to ease your pregnancy back or joint pains, but are too exhausted to even travel, then Lokahi Massage & Pregnancy Services may be the spa to call.

Lokahi Massage offers affordable mobile relaxation, therapeutic, prenatal, and postnatal massage therapies. In addition to its pain-relieving pregnancy massages, Lokahi Massage also offers birthing doula services, all thanks to its in-house DONA-certified RMT, Justine Craigen.

Lokahi’s other RMT, Linda Varadi, is also a registered hypnotherapist and certified transformation nutrition coach. So, while these two make up a small team, they do offer diverse treatments which Calgarians can enjoy.

Like many other spas, Lokahi requires at least 24 hours of notice for cancellations. But unlike others, this spa only charges 50% of the payment as a late cancellation fee.

However, Lokahi Massage falls short of other financial features as it doesn’t do direct billing for its services. Fortunately, it still offers receipts that you can use for reimbursements.

Customer Reviews

Lokahi Massage may be well-known for its prenatal massage, but its services are still applicable to just about anyone who wants to relax. Here are some reviews from such people:

“Justine is amazing!  She always takes the time to inquire about your concerns and really listens. I have been going to her for the past year, and has provided fantastic service consistently. Not only does she make sure to relieve your pain, she takes the time to get to know you personally.  I highly recommend her services! Her vibrant personality and passion makes her a true gem”—Sabrina Lee

“I’m not even pregnant and I loved it!  Justine is a fantastic masseuse.  I’ve had stress in my upper back and shoulders for a long time, and she really worked out my knots and tension.  The setting is very comfortable, and her booking system and use of technology is a definite plus!!”—Richard Yuen

18. Decodex Massage Therapy

SERVICES	Therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, hydrotherapy, myofascial release, weight loss, trigger point, acupressure massage, Tui-Na massage
WEBSITE	http://decodexmassage.ca/
ADDRESS	180- 94 Ave SE (#44 MacLeod Plaza) Calgary AB T2J 3G8 (One Block North of Walmart & Lowis – inside MC Acupuncture Clinic)
CONTACT DETAILS	(587) 832-5188 | [email protected]
OPERATING HOURS	Monday – Saturday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM

Decodex Massage Therapy offers therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, hydrotherapy, Tui-na massage, and many other types of massage therapies. Clients can even add facial massage or foot massage to any of these services.

With all these options, the medi spa can help those with MVA injuries, insomnia, chronic and acute pain, weakness, and orthopedic conditions like tennis elbow. Since it carries out massage therapies for medical pain relief, Decodex also does direct insurance billing.

In addition to such effective and convenient payment options, Decodex has that extra appeal as it has affordable massage treatments. We say this because its 30-minute massages are $40 while its hour-long sessions cost only $80.

However, Decodex Massage Therapy only has one RMT on site. So, you may encounter some challenges when booking a slot for an appointment with the spa, especially during peak hours.

Customer Reviews

Despite being a one-RMT team, Decodex Massage continues to impress numerous Calgarians with its diverse expertise. Here are just some of its satisfied clients:

“I have gone to many different massage therapists over the past 30 years and I can honestly say David is one of the very best I have been to. Having experience with Ayurvedic massage, Lomi Lomi and other traditional modalities he rates with the very best.  He understands energy, acupressure points and incorporates that knowledge into his massage.  He is a true master!”—Cindy Perry

“Wow amazing place to go for massage best I have ever had I mean best! Very caring Vincent was hands down amazing I was having a bad day with stress and anxiety and he was able to calm me down relax me and ease it all away. Thanks so much”—Kevin Oneil

Gelous Spa is yet another city-approved and health-inspected home spa offering all types of pampering services. From relaxing treatments like raindrop aromatherapy massages to more aesthetic services like chemical peels, Gelous Spa has it.

The best thing about Gelous Spa’s massage therapies is that they all come with hot stone testers, hot towels, and aromatherapy. Clients can even ask for Reiki as a free add-on to their services or go as far as customizing their own massage therapy treatment.

Despite these add-ons, Gelous Spa’s services are priced reasonably and affordably. To add to this convenience, Gelous Spa also does direct billing to insurance.

Aside from these services, Gelous Spa offers organic beauty products, complete with free delivery privileges. These products include essentials like sunscreens, lotions, and cleansers and vanity needs like lash extensions and masks.

But since Gelous Spa is a home spa, it also has limited opening hours and won’t accept any walk-ins. Additionally, it may not be able to answer any calls when its in-house RMT is occupied with a client.

Additionally, Spirit of Physiotherapy and Massage does lymphatic drainage and myofascial release to further improve recovery from surgery or injury. The clinic can do all of this because it has its in-house physiotherapist and RMT.

While this team may be small compared to other clinics, Spirit of Physiotherapy and Massage still delivers massage results the way bigger medi spas would do. Besides, this clinic also has connections with physicians, dentists, and pharmacies, in case you may need other types of treatment options.

Spirit of Physiotherapy and Massage can even do in-home visits for some of its clients. So, those who have trouble travelling, due to their MVA injuries, for example, can still rely on this clinic.

“Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Had a work related injury. Was able to have some relief and mobility after the first week. Combination of physiotherapy and massage really helped. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.”—Adam L

“The best Physiotherapy clinic out there. Customer service is friendly, polite and kind. Scheduling is a breeze, and they are incredibly accommodating. There are two massage therapists when I went there last, and I have only received a massage from Elizabeth a few times. They are some of the best massages I have ever had. She was thorough with asking questions. She asked throughout the massage how the pressure was, and was concerned on how I was the entire time. The atmosphere in the room was relaxing and I found it easy to want to take a wee nap. I left there feeling relaxed, my body was calm and felt incredibly good. Suffering from chronic pain, these massages are like little pieces of heaven. I need to get back in there for a massage now!”—Melissa Kirbyson

Customer Reviews

“Incredible. Absolutely incredible beyond words. Upon entering the polished facility, I was met with a highly professional therapist that made me feel like royalty. The therapist went above and beyond assisting me in putting on the indoor footwear before guiding me to the therapy room. My first visit was for the Vichy Shower Massage which was my first for such a therapy. I didn’t know what to expect but the therapist made it all so comfortable and pleasant. It was one of the best massages I’ve had in the longest time. This by far exceeds the regular massages. Highly recommended – you’ll never be disappointed. I give it a 5/5. Tina is such an amazing therapist/owner.”—Phebe

“Recently went for a massage after a very taxing work day, and the massage therapist did an amazing job relieving the stress from my shoulders and neck. They take COVID precautions extremely seriously, so it felt very clean and safe. Booked my next appointment immediately!”—Lily Nelson
