What Happens During a Therapeutic Massage Session

If you’re dealing with everyday aches and pains, recovering from an injury, or simply need time to unwind, therapeutic massage in West Edmonton can help you feel and move better.

Before Your Session
Each appointment begins with a short assessment, which may include range of motion (ROM) testing. Your massage therapist will review your health history and discuss any areas of concern. You’ll then be asked to undress to your comfort level and lie under the linens on the massage table.

During Your Session
Your therapist will create a treatment tailored to your needs, using techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, joint mobilization, PNF stretching, or lighter relaxation-focused work. The pressure and approach will always match your comfort level, and you’ll be encouraged to share feedback during your massage.

For deep tissue sessions, you may feel some tenderness in tight areas, but your therapist will adjust to ensure the treatment remains safe and effective. If your goal is relaxation, you can expect smooth, flowing strokes, steady pressure, and a calming environment that may include aromatherapy or guided breathing.

After Your Session
Most clients leave feeling more relaxed, rejuvenated, and mobile. Your therapist may provide aftercare recommendations such as stretches, exercises, or self-massage techniques to support your recovery. Drinking water afterward helps your body process the benefits of treatment. Depending on your goals, a follow-up appointment may be suggested to stay on track with your wellness plan.

At our West Edmonton clinic, therapeutic massage is more than pain relief — it’s about improving your overall well-being and helping you live a healthier, more balanced life.

Essential Tips for Your Therapeutic Massage in West Edmonton

Getting ready for your Therapeutic Massage at our West Edmonton clinic will help you enjoy the full benefits of your treatment. Here are a few helpful tips:

  1. Arrive a few minutes early. This gives you time to complete any forms, settle in, and start your appointment feeling relaxed.

  2. Eat light before your session. A heavy meal can make it harder to relax, while an empty stomach can leave you lightheaded. Aim for a light snack about an hour or two beforehand.

  3. Stay hydrated. Drinking water before and after your massage supports recovery and helps your body flush out toxins.

  4. Dress comfortably. Loose or athletic-style clothing is best. Your therapist will guide you on what to remove for treatment—always based on your comfort level.

  5. Communicate openly. Let your therapist know about any pain, tightness, or areas of focus. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your needs.

  6. Rest afterward. Take it easy following your massage. Avoid intense workouts right away and allow your body time to recover.

  7. Follow aftercare advice. Your therapist may recommend stretches or self-care tips—these can help extend the results of your session.
