Each session is designed to leave you feeling more relaxed, and your overall energy and outlook more balanced. You will feel a deep release within your body without the aggressiveness of a "traditional" massage. This is therapy that works with your body, and not against it. We do not force our way in, we wait paitently for the tissue to allow us in. Sometimes that takes a few minutes, but once the body relaxes, it allows us more depth than quick aggressive "deep tissue" work.
Results are guaranteed. Everytime.

Practice Restrictions Now Lifted for Massage Therapists in Alberta

We have now received confirmation from Alberta Health Services (AHS) that as of July 1, 2021, restrictions related to massage therapy practices will be lifted. All massage therapists will no longer be required to adhere to the “Covid-19 Infection Prevention and Control Manual for Massage Therapists in Alberta.” Therapists must continue to follow the guidelines outlined in their association’s Standards of Practice document when treating clients.

All municipal bylaws supersede these directives. We ask that you continue to follow your local bylaws if restrictions in your area remain in effect.

We are also aware that some massage therapists are uncomfortable with the lifting of restrictions at this time. We continue to encourage you to do a risk assessment for your practice, and only provide treatments in a manner that you are comfortable with.

Should you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to your association.

Today, during our second day of joint meetings between the Transitional Council for the College of Massage Therapists of Alberta, and the four Massage Therapist Associations in the province we were excited to hear the announcement of a pending limited return of Massage Therapy by Health Minister Shandro (https://youtu.be/_vctftbhQ1A?list=PLvrD8tiHIX1L5LKwB0kl-4aJjkK4OuE-l).

We are waiting to hear specific details from the province and will be providing those to our members as they become available.

We are pleased to announce that today we have finalized a joint draft “COVID-19 Pandemic Practice Guidelines, Protocols and Best Practices for Massage Therapists in Alberta” that will go back to the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association (CMMOTA), the Certified Registered Massage Therapist Association (CRMTA), the Massage Therapist Association of Alberta (MTAA), and the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada Association (NHPC) for Board approvals and will be released as quickly as possible. These jointly developed protocols will ensure that all Alberta Health Services and Association guidelines and policies are followed by all members in good standing with one of these Associations. This will ensure the protection of the public and provide clarity for our fellow health care professionals.

We thank all those who have spent time over the past weeks advocating on behalf of the massage therapy profession. We hope that the collective advocacy will move the Government of Alberta towards regulating our profession. We will continue to advocate collectively to have the province allow the full return of Massage Therapy practice and to bring regulation to fruition.

All associations are experiencing a high volume of calls, emails, and inquiries. We would appreciate your patience and understanding as it will take time to respond. Please refrain from contacting our offices for information as we will release information as soon as it becomes available.

Wishing you continued Health and Safety.

A key factor in injury prevention is proper anatomical alignment. To maintain good and pain free movement, our skeletal and soft tissue systems must follow a specific alignment pattern. This alingment of bones to ligament, to tendon, to muscle and fascia tissue during movement will keep you injury free, or you'll end up getting hurt. Learning this alingment pattern takes time, but it's something that is important to know, if you want to live a high quality life.

Hi everyone! Happy long weekend :) Hope you're all getting some much deserved rest. I wanted to give you some background information about Unified Wellness. I've gotten some inquiries about what exactly we offer, and want to provide a clear picture of our company.

"Unified Wellness began in 2016. The concept of Unified Wellness grew from both work and life experience, an interest in healthcare, and a desire to educate. It was the result of many years of trial, error, and systematic planning. After completing multiple Diplomas in Physical Activity Coaching and Therapeutic Massage (Nait and MaKami), and continuing her education towards a Human Science degree at the University of Athabasca, Kari and her husband Chris started Unified Wellness to help the people in their community,

Unified Wellness is dedicated to those looking to make changes in their life. Working as a team, the clinic owners endeavor to provide exceptional customer service. Building quality, supportive relationships with members, and providing them a safe space they can enjoy.
One of the building blocks to establishing this relationship is the health history discussion. This discussion allows a glimpse of the members overall health. Including general lifestyle, acute/chronic issues, soft tissue/bone/nerve issues, medical complications, and most importantly personal goals. The clinic builds individualized plans for each service based on this discussion. Unified Wellness is a one stop shop to a better quality of life.

Unified Wellness is the exclusive carrier of a complete long-term health care plan including assessment and treatment in Physical Activity Coaching and Therapeutic Massage. It is also one of a few carriers of education in injury prevention. The clinic is most known for their wholistic and realistic approach to managing long term health."

So, please reach out with any questions you may have, we would love an opportunity to get to know, and work with you to achieve your lifestyle goals!

When individual muscle fibres become misaligned, they form trigger points. And trigger points lead to pressure points, which lead to body pain. Body pain is a sign of muscular dysfunction. Muscular dysfunction is a disturbance within soft tissues, and is caused by poor posture and improper biomechanics. Posture is the position in which the body is held. And biomechanics is stated as the muscular, joint and skeletal actions of the body during the ex*****on of a given task, skill or technique. How you sit, stand, move and lay down matters!
Movement patterns are directly connected to pain. No matter how small the movement may seem, the biomechanical force behind it will determine whether or not a pain response occurs. If it does, it’s because a muscle fibre has become misaligned, or a trigger/ pressure point has formed.
To alleviate these points and get back to proper alignment, try Therapeutic Massage. A proven methodology for dealing with body pain. Call today to book your treatment.

Back to basics. This is my interpretation of Therapeutic Massage.

Firstly, let me give you some “official” definitions, as well as, my interpretations of these words.

The word “Therapeutic” from Webster’s medical dictionary is defined as:
of, relating to, or used in the treatment of disease or disorders by remedial agents or methods; having a beneficial effect on the body or mind; producing a useful or favourable result or effect.
That’s the official definition.

My interpretation of “therapeutic” goes like this:
A form of treatment performed on persons with the intent to facilitate bodily healing processes and restore homeostasis.

The word “Homeostasis” is a state of stable equilibrium between the interdependent elements of an organism, especially as maintained by physiological processes. (Webster’s and Google definition).
Meaning, that feeling of balance between body, mind, and environment we all search for.

The official definition of massage is:
Manipulation of tissues with hands for therapeutic purposes (Webster’s medical dictionary).

As well, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a persons health and well-being.
(www.nwhealth.edu/school-of-massage-therapy/massage-therapy-definition/)

So, therapeutic massage can be defined, (in my mind) as a modality designed facilitate body healing by manipulating soft tissues to restore homeostasis.

Now, with that in mind, know this. Therapeutic does not mean more pressure. It is simply, a form of treatment designed to restore muscular balance. The amount of pressure varies person to person. And is adjusted person to person. Based on their own personal assessment prior to treatment.
Specific points on the body may be more tender with pressure, but that does not mean they require deep pressure to be released. A good understanding of anatomy applied with manual manipulation of tissues (affected and surrounding) ensures effective release, without the added pain of deep pressure.
Makes sense? Hopefully I’m not just rambling. Ask if you have questions, or better yet book an appointment. Im a licensed CRMTA member, actively practicing in Therapeutic Massage and general wellness. Call 780.460.0555
