Massage Therapy

A Massage Therapist Provides Relief to Patients

Primarily through the use of hands-on manipulation of your muscles, tendons and ligaments, massage therapists are a great start for optimizing your health.

Massage therapy has a therapeutic effect on the body by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved. Often massage therapy works very well in conjunction with other disciplines as more time can be spent on correlating physical dysfunction, pain and stress relief.

You can get an appointment with our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) for many different types of treatments.

Momentum Health Regsitered Massage Therapists provide multiple types of treatment

  • Swedish Massage is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, circular movements, vibration, and tapping to help relax and energize the body. Swedish massage is often used for relaxation and stress relief.

    Deep Tissue and IASTM Registered Massage Therapy at Momentum Health West Springs in Calgary
  • Deep Tissue Massage uses slow, deep strokes and firm pressure to help release tension in the muscles and connective tissues. It's often used to treat chronic pain and injuries. We'll incorporate elbows or forearms to accommodate this type of treatment.

  • Sports Massage is typically designed for athletes and active individuals. It can help improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent injuries when applied in conjunction with remedial exercise.

  • Hot Stone Massage in Calgary

    Hot Stone Massage. Mmmm you can feel the heat just thinking about it! Using a water heater to imbue smooth, heated stones with lasting heat, our RMTs place the hot stones on specific points on the body and most importantly also use them as a massage tool. The heat really permeates your body to relax the muscles and improve circulation as the stones are used to move muscle tissue and facilitate a deep release.

  • Prenatal Massage is designed for pregnant women. It can help relieve pain and discomfort associated with pregnancy, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. Some locations have cutouts in the table whereas others will support you with pillows and bolsters to give you the relaxation and reprieve you are craving.

  • Trigger Point Therapy involves the application of pressure to specific trigger points in the body. It can help relieve pain and tension in the muscles, as well as improve range of motion.

  • Myofascial Release: This is a type of massage that focuses on the fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles. Myofascial release can help release tension and improve mobility.

  • Reflexology targets certain spots on your feet to enhance relaxation or circulation. This service is available at select locations only.

  • Cupping Massage in Calgary from Registered Massage Therapists

    Cupping, or the use of cups in a massage, feels great on large fascial sections that need to move! The cup creates a pocket of suction directly over the area where the cup is placed. It can then be left stationary for a continued stretch or moved around your back or other section as needed. Physiotherapists may also use cups to facilitate a soft tissue release when appropriate.

  • Rapid Neurofascial Reset (NFR) is used by some therapists to target a very specific muscle or muscle group. These appointments can be booked in as little as 15 minutes and there is no need to remove clothing to gain the benefits of this treatment

What to expect during a massage at Momentum Health

Because we are a medical clinic, we will have an intake form for you to complete, just the same as you would for any of our other practitioners. This form will give the therapist a complete picture of your overall health and how we can best provide the care you are seeking.

We will tailor each session to meet your goals! If there is a specific service you'd like added, like Mint Oil or Hot Stone, be sure to communicate this with the clinic prior to your appointment.

Please be sure to communicate adaptations with your massage therapist that will make you more comfortable, such as the pressure and depth of the treatment. We may encourage a particular treatment, but if it is too much for you, we need to know!

The therapist will give you a moment to undress to your level of comfort and get on the table, under the sheets before entering the room. Some treatments can be performed with clothing still on.

Any questions? Please ask us or your therapist directly. We're beyond happy to help.

 As a client of massage therapist Jennifer Green, I highly recommend her for her expertise and the positive impact her massages have had on my overall well-being. Jenn's massage therapy has played a crucial role in my recovery process, and her skillful techniques and attentive approach have not only eased my pain but also helped set me up for success with my other treatments at the clinic. I also highly recommend Mark for physiotherapy and Dr. Carpino for chiropractic care. Their professionalism, knowledge, and tailored treatments have provided relief, and I'm grateful for the positive outcomes I've experienced. As a client, I feel understood, respected, and that I can participate in my treatment plan, doing what works for me but getting that successful outcome.

 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr Carpino and Physiotherapist Russ Gothard for some back and hip pain I was experiencing. I can't say enough good things about the care I received. Both professionals were incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and skilled. They took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored their treatments to my specific needs which also included the GLAD Back program. After just a few sessions, I felt a significant improvement in my pain levels, overall mobility and pain management. I highly recommend Dr Carpino and Pysiotherapist Russ Gothard to anyone in need of chiropractic or physiotherapy services at Momentum Health. Also a big thanks to massage therapist Meagan Fishly who also played an important role in dealing with my injuries.

 I’ve had several massages with Amber and I honestly can’t rave enough about her. She diagnosed a chronic shoulder injury that I have seen multiple practitioners for over the course of the past 10 years and has given me treatment that far surpasses anything I’ve received before. I can’t recommend her enough!

 It has taken me years to find the perfect place! As an office worker with a previous back injury and headaches, I have been searching for a great massage therapist for a long time. I was lucky enough to meet Ryan earlier this year. I was never one for chiropractors, but with Allison, I do not feel like she is just there to crack me- she spends the time to review troubled areas and works on effective treatment as needed. My perfect treatment is alternative visits with Ryan and Allison. Highly recommend Momentum Health for great service and friendly, professional staff!
