Most people think of massage as “spa”—synonymous with on-the-surface relaxation. We take a different route at MYo Lab.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage in Calgary, AB
Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) emphasize deeper techniques to correct your body and movement. This type of massage is also known as a deep tissue massage. This focused work targets your body’s soft tissues—muscles, tendons, and ligaments—to relieve pain, correct movement patterns, and build long-term resilience.
Therapeutic massages are our focus at MYo Lab, but this doesn’t mean we ignore relaxation massage techniques vital for those who need to de-stress, slow down, and take some time to unwind.
If this is for you, be sure to let your RMT know so they can adjust their techniques appropriately.

Always a great experience at this clinic. Dr. Shelly Bouvier is professional, caring, and really takes the time to help. My previous chiropractor was also excellent.

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!

Common FAQs About Therapeutic Massage
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 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 the massage be uncomfortable?
Your massage therapy is deep tissue, but it shouldn’t be painful. If you’re sore in certain areas because of an injury or chronic pain, you might experience some discomfort as we ease out the inflammation. Expect some discomfort in tight areas, but your RMT will ease into things and adjust based on your feedback.
Will I be sore afterward?
Mild soreness for 24–48 hours is normal, especially if deeper work is done. Hydrating, gentle movement, and rest help greatly.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on how long you’ve had the issue, how your body responds, and your goals. Many people start with a short series (3–5), then move into maintenance.

Can I combine Massage with Chiropractic or Physiotherapy?
This is what we specialise in. If we feel you need additional therapy, your RMT will coordinate your care with our Chiropractors or Physiotherapists, and we’ll weave additional sessions into your care plan.
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.
