Sports Massage Therapy in Calgary, AB
Prevent Injuries, Recover Faster, Improve your Strength and Mental Toughness
Two-Pronged Sports Massage Care in Calgary.
Originally developed for high-performance athletes, sports massage therapy has become a go-to for weekend warriors, amateur competitors, and everyday Calgarians who want to stay strong, mobile, and injury-free.
At Orthosports Calgary, our sports massage approach is twofold:
1. Injury Prevention
Using techniques that improve flexibility, reduce muscular tension, and enhance joint range of motion. Ask any serious athlete: flexibility is key to staying off the sidelines.
2. Injury Recovery
If you’re already sore or dealing with a strain, we work to break down muscle adhesions, restore circulation, and accelerate healing. Our hands-on treatments get you moving again—faster.
Whether you’re a hockey player recovering after a tough game, a cyclist feeling tight after a long ride, or someone just getting back into shape, our tailored sports massage can help.
Build Strength Through Faster Recovery
Sports massage therapy improves blood and lymph flow throughout the body. This not only shortens recovery time from fatigue or injury, but also:
- Prevents delayed onset muscle soreness
- Breaks up fascial restrictions and scar tissue
- Improves joint mobility and muscle performance
- Supports long-term strength development
By easing tension in overused muscles, you’ll move more freely and train more consistently, without pushing through pain.
Stress Less. Focus More. Perform Better.
Performance isn’t just physical, it’s mental.
Although sports massage isn’t as gentle as a Swedish massage, it still reduces stress and helps you reset. Many clients report better focus, lower anxiety, and an easier time getting into the “zone” before training or competition.
Our lead sports massage therapist, Sergey Raiter, is a former athlete himself. He understands what you’re working toward and can offer both hands-on recovery and the mindset support that keeps you in the game.

Frequently Asked Questions About Manual Osteopathy in Calgary
Is sports massage covered by insurance in Calgary or Alberta?
Yes. Most private extended health insurance plans in Alberta, including Manulife, Alberta Blue Cross, and Sun Life, cover sports massage if it’s performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). We’ll provide a detailed receipt for your claim.
How much does a sports massage cost in Calgary?
Prices typically range from $90 to $130 per session depending on length and therapist experience. At Orthosports, we offer 60- and 90-minute sessions with no upsells or hidden fees.
Where can I find a good sports massage therapist near Downtown Calgary or Beltline?
Orthosports Calgary is centrally located in Beltline near 17th Ave SW, Stampede Park, and Inglewood. We’re walkable from Mission, Sunalta, and Downtown (T2P, T2G, T2S).
What’s the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage in Calgary clinics?
Sports massage is performance-focused, often used for injury prevention, recovery, or athletic maintenance. Deep tissue massage is more general, used for tension relief but not always tailored to athletes or movement optimization.
Does sports massage help after gym workouts or CrossFit in Calgary?
Yes. Many of our clients are active gym-goers, CrossFit athletes, and runners who use sports massage to reduce soreness, increase flexibility, and prevent overuse injuries — especially during Calgary’s colder months.
What are the benefits of sports massage for runners in Calgary?
For Calgary’s runners and marathoners, sports massage can help prevent IT band syndrome, shin splints, hamstring strains, and tight calves — all common issues due to winter running surfaces and hilly terrain.
Is it safe to get a sports massage after an injury or surgery?
Yes, with proper clearance from your physician or physiotherapist. We work with post-injury and post-op clients across Calgary to reduce scar tissue, improve mobility, and support your rehab plan.
Do I need to be an athlete to get a sports massage?
Not at all. Sports massage is ideal for anyone with an active lifestyle, including gym members, yoga practitioners, cyclists, golfers, and weekend warriors.
Can I book a sports massage after work in Calgary?
Yes. We offer evening and weekend appointments to accommodate busy schedules. Many Beltline and Downtown professionals book after 5 PM or on Saturdays.
Do you combine sports massage with other treatments like osteopathy or RAPID therapy?
Yes. We often recommend integrated treatment plans combining sports massage with RAPID NeuroFascial Reset or Manual Osteopathy for longer-lasting results.
How often should I get a sports massage in Calgary’s climate?
Depending on your training load or recovery needs, 2–4 sessions per month can help with maintenance, flexibility, and faster healing, especially in winter when cold muscles are more injury-prone.
