Feel Better. Move Better. Perform Better.
Your Calgary Massage Therapists For Quality Care
Registered Massage Therapists in Kensington, Calgary NW
At MYo Lab, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) don’t just help you relax; they help you move better, recover faster, and feel stronger.
Within our team, our RMTs will be taking care of your muscular and connective tissue restrictions. A body that has lots of areas of tension is not a body that can move well. We combine deep tissue and therapeutic techniques to target muscle restrictions, improve mobility, and support long-term injury prevention. Every session is tailored to your needs (be it sports recovery, stress relief, or relaxation) so you can stay active, pain-free, and ready for what’s next.
Be sure to let your Massage Therapist know what you’re looking for so they can adjust their techniques appropriately.
Don’t settle for a massage that just feels good in the moment. Choose the one that makes you move better tomorrow.

I’ve just started coming to MYo and I’m very impressed with everyone I’ve dealt with. Shelley my chiropractor has been great and Ryan the massage therapist was terrific. I also really appreciate the friendly front office team: shout out to Anika and Tash for the good vibes.

I have been going to Myolab for a few weeks and highly recommend it to everyone.
I’ve been seeing Evan as my chiropractor and Zack as my massage therapist, who are “amazing”.
I’m very impressed with the treatment plan they have provided and the care I have received. I am looking forward to physio to maintain my health in 2022.
Marlene P.
I am a active cyclist who was looking for a new physiotherapy. I ended up finding not only a new physiotherapy also a massage therapist, chiropractor and soon I’ll start with the dietitian.
Myo lab works together to get you the best care possible for you. They have helped me get better and get stronger. Any small issues I have now can be fixed with one or two visits as they fixed my big issues. They have helped me get to the race line pain free!

Types of Massage Therapies We Offer
Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are trained in a variety of modalities and utilize them in your care and wellness sessions with them. These methods include:
Therapeutic Massage
Also known as deep tissue massage, this goes beyond surface-level tension to get at the root of what’s limiting your movement or causing pain. It works into the layers of muscle and fascia to release restrictions and restore mobility.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage is slower, calmer, and focused on melting away stress so you can breathe easier, sleep better, and reset your body and mind.
Sports Massage
Built for athletes and active bodies. Sports massage helps reduce muscle soreness, prevent injury, and improve performance.
Pregnancy Massage
Our pregnancy massages are tailored for comfort and safety at every stage (easing back pain, hip tightness, swelling), and all those new aches that come with pregnancy.
Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Massage
Recovery after a car accident can take time and the right care. We use gentle, targeted techniques to help reduce pain and stiffness, restore range of motion, and support your body as it heals.
Dynamic Cupping Therapy
Using gentle suction, cupping helps improve circulation, release tight fascia, and speed up recovery. It’s a great add-on to any therapeutic session when you need a little extra help loosening things up.
Please do not hesitate to ask our RMTs if you have any questions about these modalities and/or if you would like them used more in any of your sessions at MYo Lab.

Who Can Benefit From Massage Therapy?
Pretty much everyone. Massage therapy helps your body recover, move, and function better, whether you’re an athlete, a new parent, or someone who spends all day at a desk.
We commonly work with:
- Athletes and active individuals looking to boost performance, recover faster, and prevent injuries.
- Office workers dealing with tension from long hours at a desk, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
- Pregnant women who need safe, targeted relief from back and hip pain or swelling.
- People recovering from injuries or accidents who want to regain movement and reduce pain.
- Anyone under stress who could use some calm, better sleep, and a reset for the nervous system.
No matter your starting point, massage therapy can help you move better, feel stronger, and stay ahead of pain before it slows you down.
Walking You Through Your First Visit Massage Therapy Visit
Here’s what to expect when you come in for your first massage therapy session:
- Step 1: Quick Intake & Assessment. Your RMT will start with a brief discussion and assessment to understand your main concern, movement patterns, and any contributing factors.
- Step 2: Get Comfortable. During your massage, you’ll undress to the level you’re comfortable with, or you can wear loose-fitting clothing. You’ll then lie on the table and cover yourself with a sheet for privacy and warmth.
- Step 3: Product & Preference Check. Your therapist may use a gel or lotion during treatment. If you have any allergies or sensitivities, please let us know before your session so we can accommodate you.
- Step 4: Targeted Treatment. Your RMT will evaluate areas of tension through touch to determine the right amount of pressure because some spots may need deeper work, while others respond best to gentler techniques. We’ll always aim to treat the root cause (not just where it hurts) so you get long-term relief.
- Step 5: Real-Time Communication. You should feel relaxed and at ease throughout your massage. If at any point something feels painful or uncomfortable, let your therapist know. Adjustments are part of the process.
- Step 6: Team-Based Care. Our RMTs also collaborate closely with MYo Lab’s Chiropractors and Physiotherapists to create a plan that supports your overall recovery and wellness goals.

Common Questions We Get Asked About Massage Therapy
What Is Registered Massage Therapy?
Registered Massage Therapy involves hands-on treatment of the muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues of the body. At MYo Lab, our RMTs are trained professionals regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of Alberta. They use evidence-based techniques to help with pain relief, recovery, and overall movement.
What is Dynamic Cupping?
Dynamic cupping uses gentle suction to lift and decompress soft tissue, improving blood flow and releasing tension. Instead of traditional glass cups and heat, this method uses medical-grade silicone cups with a small amount of massage oil to create suction.
Unlike static cupping (where cups stay in one place), dynamic cupping involves slowly gliding the cups over the skin to mobilize fascia and muscle tissue. Your Chiropractor or Massage Therapist may also place cups in specific areas for short periods to target problem spots. As the cups lift the skin, you’ll notice some redness, a normal response as blood vessels expand and circulation increases in the treated area.
What treatments are offered at MYo Lab?
We offer a range of therapeutic treatments under one roof, including:
- Massage Therapy (Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Sports, Pregnancy, and more)
- Chiropractic care
- Physiotherapy
- Footmaxx Custom Orthotics
- Kinotek

- Shockwave Therapy

Our multidisciplinary approach means your care team works together to support your recovery, movement, and overall wellness.
What should I wear to the massage appointment?
Whatever makes you comfortable. You can undress to your comfort level or wear loose-fitting clothing. You’ll always be covered with a sheet during the session, and your RMT will only uncover the area being treated.
Will I be sore after the massage?
It’s normal to feel mild soreness or tenderness for a day or two, especially after deeper work. That’s just your muscles adjusting. Staying hydrated, moving gently, and using heat or light stretching can help ease any post-massage stiffness.
Do I need a doctor's referral for Massage therapy?
If a “doctor’s note” is required, our Chiropractors may fit that requirement. However, if a “Physician’s note” is required, you will need to see a medical doctor. If submitting to insurance, we encourage you to check with your specific provider to see if a note is needed and from which profession(s) they accept one.
