Recover From Injury and Improve Performance Through Sports Massage Therapy
Enhance your performance through sports massage. Whether you need a massage to recover or prepare from activity, our registered massage therapists are there to help. For a performance-based athlete, deep tissue sports massage is a key way to maintain your health and stay at an optimum level of awareness. Sports Massage can help to reduce strain and discomfort during training, reduce recovery time following an injury and improve circulation to relieve muscle stiffness, spasm and fatigue.
Our therapists are the preferred providers for the Alberta Ballet, the Canadian National Freestyle ski team, the Edmonton Track Council and have worked with athletes from University of Alberta varsity teams, FC Edmonton, the Edmonton Elks, and the Edmonton Prospects along with countless elite and amateur athletes.
Note: If you are an athlete struggling with a chronic injury or have a timeline to return to competition we suggest that you book an assessment with our Sport Performance Director, Dr. Derek Lampshire. Dr. Lampshire will assess your injury and advise on the best treatment plan to help you meet your goals. You can call our office at 780-430-9224 to book that assessment.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Marcy and her team have been there for our family through thick and thin, from emergency treatment to rehab to strengthening - before and during COVID. Best team in the city with a wide range of therapies. ATHX has great parking, excellent hours, and fantastic equipment. Would not be playing sports again without Marcy and the team."
- ADAM SWEET
"I have attended ATHX for two separate injuries, both at least 5 years apart and both experiences have been excellent. Staff are so helpful and really want you to stop coming (get better). The facility is amazing and the trainers are great, all in all definitely the best place to go when dealing with an injury."
- JORDANA D
"I usually drive from Calgary to see Nate Hay for athletic therapy. He is very knowledgeable and gave me instant pain relief on my neck and numbness on my arms after our first session. Going to see Nate is well worth the drive. He has a thorough knowledge of sports injuries and he always follows up with an email after the session outlining the exercises discussed. Very professional. Thanks Nate!"
- SHANKHA SARKER

"Oh, where to start? I've ripped, torn, dislocated, twisted, broken and bashed my poor old body doing the things I love to do and I have always been able to count on ATHX and the crew of practitioners to help me back to health. (so I can do I all again)."

We continually evolve to give our athletes the tools they need to achieve their greatest results.

Our coaches, chiropractors, athletic therapists, massage therapists and other specialists are in constant communication, using a team approach to ensure that each athlete's individual plan is helping them succeed.
INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING AND TESTING
To get maximum results, each athlete starts with the ATHX athlete test. Our proprietary performance assessment provides clear direction for every athlete's plan and measurables to track progress.
Using the results of the assessment, our coaches customize your semi-private and one-on-one training sessions to strengthen areas of weakness and instability while building overall strength, speed, power, and agility.
