About UsIt's all about Quality ServiceWhat we have at NeuroMuscular Therapy Center, is lots of education both formal and experiential, coupled with a desire to provide the highest quality service. Traveling the world while working on-board Billionaire's luxury private yachts, has taught us how to provide an atmosphere equal to those yachts: anticipating every need; attention to details; and nothing less than full quality service. As a home health clinic, our attention is on healthy living. We provide a large selection of medical massage therapies, along with relaxing / therapeutic modalities; and detoxifying treatments. In our lovely home in Three Sisters Mountain Village, (just 5 minutes east of Canmore) we cater to no more than two clients at a time, giving you our undivided attention, and keeping the spa atmosphere tranquil and private.
