THE 3 PILLARS OF ORTHOPEDIC MASSAGE
Assessment – Treatment – Preventative Maintenance
Assessment
IDENTIFY THE ISSUE
We start with a comprehensive assessment that ensures your treatment is tailored to you, your specific condition and your goals in order to identify the issue.
Your assessment begins with a standard questionnaire and targeted conversation about the pain you’re suffering from. We then perform range of motion, passive range of motion, and resistance testing. Once complete we’ll be able to single in on the cause of your pain or discomfort, allowing us to move forward with treatment.
“Sergey was able to quickly assess my shoulder and neck and fixed my tightness and pain.”
-Ally L.
Treatment
TARGETED TREATMENT
Once we’ve isolated the issue that’s causing you pain we begin treating it with Advanced Cyriax Frictions which target tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, joints and nerves to provide immediate pain relief.
Our treatments are hyper-focused and highly specialized to the exact physical problem you’re facing. Using our extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system, we start off by opening up the surface muscles of the affected area in order to access the deep tissue where tendons and ligaments are located. We then generally apply a back and forth motion to the lesion causing pain or discomfort, which provides immediate pain relief and mobility. Once treatment is finished we put you in the best position to remain pain free with preventive maintenance.
“I am blown away by Sergey’s treatment.”
– Vern W.
Preventative Maintenance
PREVENTING FURTHER PAIN
Before leaving we tailor and develop a preventive maintenance plan which well help you avoid pain or discomfort between sessions. Primarily made up of stretches that will keep the affected area mobile in order to promote further healing, these plans play a big role in your recovery and are simple enough to do at home or work.
“Really great experience. The assessment and recommended stretches were definitely bonuses!”
-Danika J
What is orthopedic massage?
Orthopedic massage is a results-focused form of massage therapy that assesses and treats the cause of pain in muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Instead of a set full-body routine, each session starts with movement and resistance testing, then uses targeted techniques to restore pain-free movement.
At Orthosports Calgary, orthopedic massage combines a full assessment, Advanced Cyriax Frictions, deep tissue work and NeuroKinetic Therapy. It suits people with a specific problem to solve, such as a rotator cuff strain, tennis elbow, sciatica, plantar fasciitis or knee pain.
Orthopedic massage vs a regular massage
- It starts with an assessment, not with the table.
- It targets tendons, ligaments and joints as well as muscles.
- You leave with a short plan of stretches to keep the result.

No More Sore Neck, Shoulders or Hips!
Before I saw Sergey, I had multiple issues and was starting to wonder if I was ever going to be pain-free. I started feeling better after the first one-hour session and continued to improve with each successive treatment. Sergey is the therapist anyone should see if they are serious about recovery from pain!
Pain-Free After Two Visits
I went to see Sergey Raiter with back pain. Within one visit I was feeling good enough that I could sleep without waking in pain. After two visits I was pain-free. After three visits I felt better than I have in years. Sergay’s knowledge of massage therapy and the human muscle network is incredible. I highly recommend his skill set to anybody.
Treatments That Truly Get to the Root of the Issue
Sergey’s massages are unlike any other I’ve experienced. After having one appointment with him, I was hooked and couldn’t return to any other therapists. His treatments truly get to the root of the issue, to the extent that I don’t really need to see him often. His massages are for people looking to work through issues and get rid of them, not so much for relaxation. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who understands the body, assesses your situation at the start of every massage appointment, and works to address the root cause of a problem.
Sergey Clearly Stands Out
Not all massage therapists are created equally – and Sergey is clearly one that stands out. Excellent technique and abilities. Loved the full assessment prior to getting started. Highly recommend.
