The Best Massages in Edmonton: The Highlight at the End of My Work Week!
With the way the muscles ache or my joints creak after I do even the mildest of movements, you’d think I’m someone in their early 50s. But nope, I’m actually just in my late 20s; it’s the hectic lifestyle I have that has made me this way.
That’s why I’ve now started treating myself to a massage at the end of the work week. Having my tense muscles massaged like it’s a piece of dough for an hour is just marvellous!
If you’re feeling tense and sore, then maybe a massage is all you need to feel better. Here are some of the places that offer the best massages in Edmonton. Check them out!
How much does a massage cost in Edmonton?
Usually, a one-hour massage treatment in Edmonton costs between C$50 and C$100. Some clinics rate higher, especially if their treatments go beyond one hour or they’re well-established in the industry.
Soul2Sole Massage & Wellness Clinic Millwood
Address: 4226 66 St NW
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday—8 am to 9 pm
- Sunday—8 am to 8 pm
Contact Number: +17807573452
Soul2Sole Massage and Wellness Clinic is one of the most popular wellness clinics in Edmonton, with several locations within the city. My go-to spot is the one at Millwood because it has the best vibe and the best staff, in my opinion.
The clinic evokes a sense of tranquillity the moment I step in. It smells nice, like a field of fragrant flowers!
The lineup of massage services is pretty good, too. I love getting a deep-tissue massage because the firm pressure and slow strokes truly loosen my muscles and make me feel rejuvenated afterward.
But they also offer craniosacral therapy, Thai massage, hot stone massage, reflexology massage, prenatal massage, and more. They even have physiotherapy and acupuncture!
I also love the massage therapists here. Not only are they warm and friendly, but they’re also attentive. They take the time to listen to my needs, and during the treatment, they pay attention to the area(s) on my body that have been bothering me for a long time. If I do feel a sudden, intense pain, they’re quick to stop and ask me if I’m okay.
This clinic also provides direct billing through TELUS Health. So, you can file a claim to your health insurance provider, which is convenient.
However, one annoying thing I can say about this clinic is that while the massage therapists are lovely, I can’t say the same thing about the people at the front desk. I’ve encountered a front desk staff member who doesn’t know how to submit claims, and it soured my good mood.

Their professionalism, skill, and intuitive approach made for one of the best massages I’ve ever had.

Therapeutic Body Concepts Massage – High Park
Address: 15131 110 Ave NW
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday—9 am to 9 pm
- Saturday—9 am to 8 pm
- Sunday—9 am to 5 pm
Contact Number: +17804561868
Therapeutic Body Concepts Massage is another popular wellness clinic, with several locations in Edmonton and neighbouring areas. I really like the one at High Park, so I always go there, even if it’s far from where I live and work.
The vibe here is more on the dark and moody side, and though that’s not what I would prefer, I do like how it makes me feel at peace—sleepy even!
Browsing their list of services might be a bit overwhelming. Deep-tissue massage, myofascial release, reflexology treatment, hot stone massage, and Thai massage are the most popular, but they also offer other treatments like acupuncture and cupping therapy.
They even have couples massages available here, perfect if you want to relax with your partner!
Another thing I love about this wellness clinic is that there are actually snacks and drinks available here. If I’m coming alone, I like to get guacamole and pretzel chips, but if I’m with a friend or two, we treat ourselves to a cheese plate. You can even get a glass of wine (red, white, or bubbly) if you’re feeling extra fancy!
As for the pricing, I’d say it’s on the expensive side, generally speaking, but you have many options. For example, if you want something slightly cheaper, you can get a 30-minute massage instead of the usual hour. Conversely, you can also get the luxury treatment if you don’t mind splurging just to get the best experience.

Her technique was both relaxing and effective, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. She took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored the massage to my specific needs. The atmosphere was calming, and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the session. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a professional and therapeutic massage experience!”

I had an appointment booked with Mary and she was amazing. Very friendly and answered any/all questions i had, and was checking in on me throughout the massage. Highly recommend this place!”

Integrated Therapies Massage & Wellness
Address: 10065 80 Ave NW
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—9 am to 9 pm
Contact Number: +17804324803
Integrated Therapies Massage and Wellness is the first wellness clinic I ever visited (this was way before I started getting massages regularly), and I’m still coming here years later.
The main reason I love coming here is the staff; everyone is nice and friendly. They greet you upon arrival, and before you start your session, you can let them know all the issues you’re experiencing, and they’ll adjust the massage treatment as they see fit. You can even tell them that you want your session to be quiet so that you can sleep.
I also love that they offer many types of services here. If you feel overwhelmed, you can start with a general massage because it’s the safest option, but over time, you might be interested in trying deep-tissue massage, lymphatic drainage massage, reflexology treatment, and craniosacral therapy.
There are even services that I don’t find in other clinics, such as the Graston Technique. I believe this one treats soft-tissue injuries, so it’s best-suited for physically active people or those who have minor injuries.
The prices here are not cheap; most of them are around the C$100 and above range.
If you book a 45-minute treatment, the rate lowers somewhat. Additionally, if you purchase a package of five treatments together, you can receive a 10% discount, which is sweet.
Oh, and direct billing is available here, too! You can save even more money if your insurance company accepts your claim when you book a treatment here.
The one major downside of this clinic, though, is that they don’t accept walk-ins; you have to book an appointment first. Fortunately, you can book the appointment on the day of, but it’s still a bit inconvenient.

Relaxing atmosphere and professional massage therapists
“Been going here for around 3 to 4 years, and rotated through most of the massage therapists. It is quite nice and relaxed and the massages are good and professional. I will warn that they do have quite squeaky floors which can be distracting depending on who you are.”
-Steven Lin, Google Review
Accommodating staff
“This place never disappoints. Had a wonderfu, much-needed massage that I booked the same day. Thank you so much for being able to accommodate me but more so for listening to my needs and going above and beyond my expectations once again. I highly recommend anyone looking for a massage to visit. Terri was wonderful.”

Athlete’s Choice Massage
Address: 9940 67 Ave NW
Operating Hours: Monday to Sunday—8 am to 8 pm
Contact Number: +17804330550
If you’re a sports person, then Athlete’s Choice Massage is the best wellness clinic for you. The massage therapists here cater to athletes, so they’re pretty skilled at providing sports massage.
This type of treatment is pretty thorough as well; you’ll begin with an in-depth assessment, including orthopedic testing, before the massage therapist determines which technique best fits your needs.
But sports massage isn’t the only service available here. You can also book a therapeutic general massage, myofascial cupping, prenatal massage, foot massage, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage massage, and more.
I’ve also seen a few cool treatments that most of their competitors don’t offer, such as shockwave therapy and kinesiology.
The prices here are relatively okay; most fall within the C$50–C$100 range. There are more expensive options, but they’re usually for treatments that last longer than an hour. Also, students get a discount!
This clinic offers event massages as well. This sounds like the perfect idea for a birthday celebration or a team-building session with your co-workers.
If I have to pick one thing to complain about this clinic, it’s the fact that you have to pay via credit card. I understand why they’ve gone with this policy, but I can imagine that it’s frustrating for people who don’t have one.
Customer Reviews
Clean and well-maintained facility, professional staff
“I had an excellent massage with Bastien. I was looking for strong hands, and he delivered—with both hands and elbows. My back feels significantly better, no longer tense and rigid. The facility is clean and well-maintained, the staff professional, and the direct billing made the process seamless. Highly recommended.”
-Jason Cook, Google Review
Professional and friendly staff
“You absolutely need to go here! I see Jamie M for my prenatal massages and honestly my pregnancy has been going so much better since seeing her. I have been dealing with bad back pain and she honestly has made a massive difference in how I’m feeling. She is professional and friendly and I highly recommend her!”

Healing Oasis Massage and Wellness
Address: 14230 28 Ave SW
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday—9 am to 9 pm
- Saturday—9 am to 8 pm
- Sunday—9 am to 6 pm
Contact Number: +17808091000
Healing Oasis Massage and Wellness really sticks to its name: this place does feel and look like a serene oasis!
The array of massage services is incredible here; they have the classic therapeutic massage, as well as other massage treatments with fancy names like hot stone massage, deep-tissue massage, craniosacral therapy, reflexology, and more.
If you want to pamper yourself even more, you might want to book a laser skin treatment!
Of course, I have to give a shoutout to the massage therapists here as well. They have that magic touch that will loosen your knots.
They’re also really great at addressing pain points. I asked around, and I discovered that many of their past clients came here because of hip and knee pain and pain from vehicle accident injuries. They shared the same sentiments as I.
If you have insurance, you’ll be delighted to know that direct billing is available here. This saves you time and energy because you won’t have to do a lot of paperwork anymore; not to mention, you’ll also save some money!
Just keep in mind that this clinic is pretty strict when it comes to cancellations. You have to cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled date. If you don’t, you’ll have to pay quite a hefty fee.
Customer Reviews
Excellent technique
“I’ve tried several different massage places in Edmonton before but never found one that really suited me. I’m so glad to have found Armie for deep tissue massage. Her technique is excellent, with just the right amount of pressure and depth that I need. She also focuses on addressing my specific pain points according to my needs. She’s very experienced—highly recommended!”

Smooth process
“I had an amazing experience with Jacq during my laser hair removal sessions! She is very professional and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Although I’m not done with my sessions yet, I’m already seeing great results, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! Also, a big thank you to the front desk lady for being so welcoming and helpful. She made the check-in process smooth and was incredibly kind. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great results and exceptional service!”
