Services at PT Kinetics Physiotherapy & Massage Calgary
Physiotherapy
If you are a new client at our clinic or are experiencing a new injury, we ask that you please book in for an initial assessment. This ensures that your therapist has enough time and information to thoroughly assess you and get to the root of your pain.
Your initial assessment will typically consist of a brief chat with your therapist to help them understand what you are dealing with, as well as an initial treatment that will allow them to physically assess you as well.
For any existing injuries/follow up appointments, we ask that you book in for a regular appointment. This is a 30 minute appointment that will consist of hands on therapy as well as treatment modalities. Your therapist may also provide you with at home exercises to aid in your recovery.
60 Minute Massage
Offered by both Andrea and Rebecca, our typical massage appointments are 60 minute deep tissue massage sessions. We offer other durations for massage as well which can be booked within the clinic or over the phone. 60 minute massage appointments can be easily found through our online booking.
If it is your first massage with us there will be a brief form to fill out beforehand, so please give yourself 5 minutes to complete this.
120 Minute Massage
On occasion, we will see clients for 2 hour massage appointments, however, we will require half the appointment to be paid at the time of booking to limit no shows and late cancelations since it is such a large time allotment. The deposit will go towards your treatment cost and is only refundable if you cancel with a minimum of 24 hours notice before your appointment time. These can only be booked over the phone or in person at the clinic.
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy appointments are offered by Rebecca See, who is also one of our registered massage therapists. Manual Osteopathic Therapy is a specialized form of manual treatment that has been around since founder Andrew Taylor Still’s epiphany in 1874. Osteopathy is a form of non-invasive treatment that focuses on total body health to facilitate healing. It can be used to treat acute or chronic pain, joint mobility or soft tissue damage. The practice of Osteopathy considers the body as a whole unit, capable of self-healing and self-regulating, it addresses both structural and functional concerns. Manual Osteopaths recognize the body’s capacity for protecting, repairing, and regenerating itself and help facilitate healing from many somatic dysfunctions in the body. Manual osteopathy is safe for clients of all ages. Osteopathy treatments are covered by health benefits if applicable.
You’ll want to arrive hydrated and wearing comfortable clothing such as gym or yoga attire. We take an educational approach to help you understand your body’s underlying issues and induce relaxation.
Magnetolith Treatment
The Magnetolith Treatments are booked for designated use of our Magnetolith machine. This machine uses magnetic field therapy to help reduce both acute and chronic pain/injuries at a cellular level. These treatments are completely non-invasive and will take about 20-30 minutes. No hands on treatment will be done during these appointments.
