About Us

It's all about Quality Service

What 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 spa rather than a hotel spa or day spa, 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 10 minutes east of Canmore) we cater to one client at a time, giving you our undivided attention, and keeping the spa atmosphere tranquil and private.

James graduated from the University of Lethbridge in 1990 with a degree in Kinesiology, and worked for several years as a personal trainer for a number of fitness facilities.  At Fitness World in Victoria, he held the position of Wellness Director, where he designed and implemented fitness programs for people from all walks of life; conducted fitness and body composition assessments; counseled clients on injury prevention specific to sport and work; enhanced physical performance; and developed nutritional programs.

Motivated to expand his horizons James worked overseas for several years with his wife Shirley.  Their adventures included working as Scuba Diving Instructors in the Bahamas; Crew on privately owned Mega Yachts; and as the Sports Director on the Cruise Ship, World of ResidenSea.

Upon his return to Canada to assist Shirley at NeuroMuscular Therapy Center, James became a Registered Massage Therapist with the Northern Lights Institute for Massage Therapy in Red Deer, Alberta.  He has quickly advanced his training by taking the Esalen Massage from Big Sur California, the NeuroMuscular Therapy Technique as well as Shirley's Signature Swedish and Natural Hot Stone Massage.  This training combined with his previous education and experiences has helped him to become a highly skilled and effective practitioner.
