💬 What’s the difference between Athletic Therapy, FST and RMT?


It’s one of the most common questions we get in the clinic, and for good reason. Each technique supports your body differently depending on your goals, needs, and injury history.


Some people benefit from a mix. Others start with one and transition into another. This carousel breaks it all down simply so you can feel more confident in your recovery plan.


Still unsure where to start?

When I first started Ossum Wellness, I noticed a pattern 👀 so many of my clients struggled with weak glutes and a disconnected core. And guess what? It was effecting everything, their strength, mobility, and even everyday movements like walking, lifting, and running 🏃‍♂️‍➡️


Weak glutes and core can lead to poor movement patterns, injuries, and pain in your lower back, hips, and knees 😓



That’s why I created the Glute x Core Class, our most popular FIT Class! This program will help you:

✅ Activate & strengthen your glutes and core

✅ Improve mobility & stability for better movement

✅ Move pain-free and build power in your workouts and activities


You’ll get 4 progressive, 45-minute workouts that you can do at your own pace, with lifetime access to revisit anytime (Many clients repeat each class for several weeks before moving to Video #2 🤫)


💸 Cost: $80 + tax


Want to feel stronger, move better, and prevent injuries? ➡️ Sign up at the link in bio and let’s head into our Spring and Summer activities this year stronger and more mobile!

Knee pain getting in the way of your everyday activities? 🦵💥


Whether it's from tight quads, weak glutes, or overuse, knee pain can be frustrating and limiting. You shouldn’t have to choose between living in pain or missing out on what you love to do! 


But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with it. By focusing on strengthening key muscle groups and proper stretching, you can make a huge difference.


💬 Have you experienced any of these? Drop a comment and share with us!

Let me introduce myself

My name is Megan and I am a Certified Athletic Therapist and Fascial Stretch Therapist. I am new to Calgary and am starting my own Athletic Therapy practice which will be operating as of November 4, 2019 (location(s) TBD). My previous experience includes working three seasons with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, followed by 3+ years in a private clinic. I have gained valuable experience in my career thus far and I am eager to utilize my knowledge and evolving skill set to help the active people of Calgary! My passion is to educate my patients on their injury and create a routine for them consisting of exercises and stretches to help them overcome their pain and to prevent recurrences!

My focus is musculoskeletal injuries i.e. muscles, bones, ligaments and joints. I treat acute and chronic injuries in people of all ages. I have a special interest in golfers, especially to help improve their mobility and their strength to help achieve results on the golf course.

Additionally, I am a Level I Fascial Stretch Therapist. Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is an assisted full body stretching technique done on a massage table. It is great for people with poor flexibility and/or chronic pain issues.

My hobbies include golf, reading and staying active! I hope to reach as many active Calgarians as I can and to provide the best one-on-one care as possible.
