Calgary Massage Therapy: Hot Stone Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and More
When it comes to booking your massage, remember that no two types are the same! This is why we have a team of registered massage therapists at our Calgary wellness clinic. Each team member is skilled in their own area of expertise, but collectively the team at Why Knot holds years of experience in a variety of different massage treatments and techniques.
We know how important it is to have the massage that’s best suited for you. If you’re in pain, a therapeutic massage may be for you. If you’re feeling tense, you would likely benefit from a simple relaxation massage (or a Swedish massage!). We offer multiple different types of massage.
If you’re not sure which massage is right for you, contact our team. We’ll provide you with an intake form and assessment, and create a customized massage treatment for you.
What Are The Benefits Of Massage Therapy
If you’ve ever suffered from any chronic muscle injuries you know how agonizing it can be to be continually in pain. Oftentimes our muscles can become strained simply from every day exercises. Lifting, twisting and bending can cause muscle strains, and the effects of these can take time to fully be felt.
Massage therapy can also give preventative measures to a host of physical and emotional conditions. Here are a few lesser known benefits of massage therapy:
Massage therapy helps to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and worry.
Believe it or not, you can improve your skin tone through massage.
Regular massage therapy can stimulate brain function and create a heightened sense of awareness.
Massage therapy can stimulate the lymphatic system, flushing out spots of tension and pooled lymphatic swelling in the muscles.
You can improve your overall mood with massage therapy. Not just by reducing stress, but by lowering cortisol and hormones as well!
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is beneficial for people who:
Are experiencing muscle pain and inflammation
Are feeling the effects of stress and anxiety
Are suffering from insomnia
The basalt stones are heated and pressed upon the body in tandem with a traditional/Swedish massage, and are designed to release both tension and muscle toxins. We recommend drinking an ample amount of water before, and after your hot stone massage.

Deep Tissue Massage
A deep tissue massage may be beneficial if you’re experiencing:
High blood pressure
Sciatica
Fibromyalgia
The most common question people have about deep tissue massage vs. therapeutic massage is, “Does a deep tissue massage hurt?” The answer will always be no. If at any point your massage ever hurts, please tell your registered massage therapist. A deep tissue massage is not designed to hurt. You should experience pressure, but never a shooting pain.
You may experience tenderness after your massage treatment.

Therapeutic Massage
A therapeutic massage is different from a relaxation massage - when you present to a registered massage therapist with a specific and persistent pain, we will create a specialized massage therapy treatment plan for you based on your specific needs. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a therapeutic massage may be best for you:
Chronic or persistent muscle aches and pains
Difficulty with mobility
Migraines, cluster headaches, tension headaches, or sinus headaches
We’re always happy to discuss the various illnesses and ailments that a therapeutic massage may be able to help with.
