You don’t have to leave town to unwind.

A good book. A quiet morning. Fresh air and sunshine.
And a massage that tells your muscles, “we’re on break.”

Staycations work best when you actually treat them like time off.
Give yourself permission to relax, even if your suitcase never left the closet.

Looking for a different treatment length? Only 60-minute appointments can be booked online. If you’d like to book a shorter or longer treatment, just give us a call (780-486-1471)— our reception team will be happy to help you find the perfect spot.

Some days aren’t about doing more. They’re about noticing what your body’s already done.

This summer, give yourself permission to slow down, stretch out, and simply be in it.

No agenda. Just the season.

Your bags are packed. The snacks are ready. The playlist is fire.

But how’s your back doing?

A massage before your road trip can help you:
– Sit longer without pain
– Ease low back and neck tension
– Recover faster after the drive

Travel feels better when your body’s ready for it.

Start your trip on the right back.

Today, we’re celebrating the Canada we know and love —

A place where our team includes people who were born here, and people who chose to build a life here.

A place where care, kindness, and community matter.

We’re proud to be a completely independent, locally-owned clinic. The products we use and sell are almost always Canadian-made — because supporting local isn’t just a tagline, it’s how we work.

However you’re celebrating today, we hope it’s full of pride, reflection, and connection.

From all of us at Muscle Matters — Happy Canada Day!

Here are three simple stretches to help you recover after a day of digging, lifting, and crouching:

-
Lunge Stretch for Hip Flexors
Loosen up those hip flexors after crouching, weeding, and hauling.

Step one foot forward, drop your back knee, and gently press your hips forward. Hold for 20–30 seconds each side.

-
Stretch for the Mid-Back
Great for shoulder and back tension from raking, lifting, and reaching.

Cross your right arm in front of your body and hold a door frame with your arm straight at shoulder height. Gently rotate your torso toward your arm until you feel a stretch through the back of the shoulder. Repeat on the other side.

-
Standing Hamstring Stretch
Helps release tightness in the back of the legs after lifting or crouching.

Stand with feet just under shoulder width, knees slightly bent. Slowly bend forward, reaching toward the floor until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.

-

Stretching helps — especially when it’s the right stretch for the right kind of pain.

Next time you’re in, talk to your therapist about what you’re feeling. We can help you find the best stretches for your body and your routine.

You plant the flowers. We’ve got your muscles.

There’s always tea brewing at the clinic — and it’s not just any tea. Our custom-blended Releaf Tea is crafted to promote relaxation and decrease inflammation. With turmeric, apple, and lemon, it’s the perfect complement to your massage — easing muscle tension from the inside out. You won’t find this blend anywhere else, so have a cup (or two) the next time you’re in the clinic, or pick some up to brew at home.

Happy International Tea Day!
