If I could give a few sets of 5 stars I would, I've been getting treated by Jen for several years now, and it has changed my life around. Going from doctors, chiro and some massage therapists all telling me they didn't know what was going on. Saw Jen and immediately came to a solid conclusion and devised a treatment plan that has worked. Got me off of all my pain meds and now to the point of just managing my symptoms.

I had an exceptional experience at the new Stride Physiotherapy clinic! Blake and Jen are friendly and welcoming. What a beautiful space in such a great location! Blake was so helpful in getting rid of some aches and pains that have been slowing me down from doing the activities and racing that I love to do! I feel i can trust them to keep my body working in optimal condition.

Linzee K.

Professional, cozy, clean, and modern clinic! I like that the treatment rooms were more private than most other clinics I have been to. Jen and Blake are knowledgeable and motivated to give you the best treatment to meet your personal goals. Booking is so easy online, I would highly recommend this place!

Jessica C.

I’ve visited them for a few injuries/aches and pains. The appointments have helped immensely to get me moving the way I want to and continue to live an active lifestyle. They have also helped me to be proactive by recommending some maintenance to do at home to prevent the same issues from happening again. Super friendly and helpful staff!

Active Recovery Massage is a movement-based massage therapy that combines hands-on treatment with guided movement to help reduce tension, improve mobility, and support recovery. While you stay on the treatment table, your Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) works through tight muscles while guiding your body through its natural range of motion. Unlike a traditional massage, Active Recovery Massage is performed without sheets while you wear comfortable clothing such as shorts and a tank top. This allows your therapist to work with your body as it moves, helping improve flexibility and restore natural movement. Although it's popular with athletes, Active Recovery Massage isn't just for sports. It's ideal for anyone feeling stiff, sore, restricted, or recovering from the physical demands of work, exercise, or everyday life.

Active Recovery Massage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized hands-on therapy designed to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. At Stride Physiotherapy & Wellness in Red Deer, MLD is provided by a Registered Massage Therapist trained in Levels 1 and 2 of the Dr. Vodder Method of Manual Lymph Drainage. Using precise, light, rhythmic movements, Manual Lymphatic Drainage stimulates the superficial lymphatic vessels located just beneath the skin, helping support the movement of excess fluid from the tissues through the lymphatic system. Unlike traditional massage therapy, MLD does not rely on deep pressure or vigorous manipulation of muscles. Treatment is typically slow, gentle, and highly specific to the lymphatic system and the individual needs of each patient.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Advanced Fascia Release

Advanced Fascia Release is a gentle, hands-on treatment designed to restore movement and relieve tension by targeting the fascia-a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in your body.

When fascia becomes restricted from injury, surgery, poor posture, or repetitive movement, it can cause pain, limit mobility, and create imbalances in the body. During treatment, your practitioner locates areas of tightness and applies sustained, gentle pressure until the tissue softens and releases, improving overall mobility and comfort.

Conditions that may benefit from Advanced Fascia Release

Chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain Headaches and migraines Post-surgical scar tissue or adhesions Sports or overuse injuries Postural strain from prolonged sitting or standing Reduced range of motion or flexibility Fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome Recovery after injury or trauma

At Stride Physiotherapy & Wellness, Advanced Fascia Release is often integrated with other therapies to address the root cause of your discomfort and help you move more freely.

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on the movement and function of your internal organs. Restrictions or adhesions in the tissues surrounding your organs can develop from surgery, infection, injury, or simply from everyday living. These restrictions may lead to discomfort, decreased mobility, or referred pain to other areas of the body.

Through precise, light touch, your practitioner assesses the position, mobility, and vitality of the organs and surrounding connective tissues. By releasing tension and improving mobility in these areas, visceral manipulation supports better function, circulation, and communication between your body systems.

Conditions that may benefit from Visceral Manipulation

Post-surgical scar tissue or adhesions Digestive concerns such as bloating, constipation, or reflux Pelvic pain or dysfunction, including incontinence Menstrual discomfort or irregularities Chronic back, hip, or shoulder pain linked to organ restrictions Recovery from abdominal or pelvic injury Respiratory restrictions or rib cage stiffness Unexplained chronic pain or mobility issues related to fascial restrictions around organs

At Stride Physiotherapy & Wellness, Visceral Manipulation can be a valuable part of your treatment plan-whether you're seeking relief from pain, recovering from injury, or simply wanting to improve how your body moves.

Visceral Manipulation

Manual Osteopathy at Stride is a gentle, hands-on therapy focused on restoring balance, mobility, and function throughout the body. Rooted in osteopathic principles, this approach recognizes that the body functions as an interconnected system where structure and function influence one another. When joints become restricted, tissues lose mobility, or the nervous system becomes dysregulated, the body may compensate in ways that lead to pain, tension, or reduced performance.

Manual osteopathy is designed to work with your body using low-force techniques. Your Manual Osteopath assesses and treats areas of restriction to support circulation, lymphatic flow, nervous system regulation, and natural healing processes. The goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to address the underlying imbalances contributing to discomfort.

This approach is appropriate for individuals seeking a gentle alternative or complement to other hands-on therapies like Physiotherapy, Massage and Chiropractic care. Whether you are navigating chronic pain, stress-related tension, recovery from injury, or simply wanting to feel more aligned and regulated, Manual Osteopathy offers a thoughtful and holistic pathway forward.

CranioSacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on treatment that focuses on releasing tension in the body's connective tissues (fascia) and improving the natural movement of cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, and its healthy flow is essential for optimal nervous system function.

Using light touch, our massage therapist trained in CST works to identify and ease restrictions throughout the body-supporting self-regulation, self-correction, and the body's natural healing processes.

Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and neuralgia
Headaches, migraines, and post-concussion symptoms

CranioSacral Therapy

Derived from the Greek words meaning “hand practice,” chiropractic reflects the hands-on nature of care. In Canada, chiropractors are regulated primary healthcare providers trained to assess, diagnose, and manage conditions related to the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system.

Chiropractic focuses on the complex relationship between your nerves, muscles, and joints and how they work together to support movement, function, and overall well-being. When joints become restricted, muscles tighten, or nerves become irritated, your body may compensate in ways that lead to pain, stiffness, or reduced performance.
