RAPID Therapy in Edmonton

Movement-Based Treatment for Fast, Effective Results

RAPID Therapy is a specialized, movement-based soft tissue technique designed to quickly reduce pain and restore range of motion. Rather than relying on prolonged pressure, RAPID Therapy works by engaging the nervous system while the client actively moves through specific motions.

This approach allows for efficient, targeted results in fewer sessions.

What Is RAPID Therapy?

RAPID Therapy combines:

  • Precise tension release

  • Active movement by the client

  • Neurological input to reset muscle guarding

It is particularly effective for stubborn restrictions and movement-related pain.

  • Rapid improvement in range of motion

  • Reduced pain and muscular restriction

  • Improved movement efficiency

  • Shorter treatment times

  • Ideal for acute or persistent issues

What to Expect During RAPID Therapy

  • Guided movements while tension is released

  • Clear communication throughout

  • Immediate feedback on changes in movement

This treatment is focused and results-oriented.

Who Is RAPID Therapy Best For?

RAPID Therapy is well suited for:

  • Clients with movement restrictions

  • Athletes and active individuals

  • Post-injury recovery

  • Those seeking faster functional improvement

How Billing Works for Veterans

We offer direct billing to Veterans Affairs Canada, making the process simple and stress-free. Please note:

  • VAC approval must be in place before your appointment.

  • Some cases require a physician referral.

  • Treatment length and frequency depend on VAC authorization.

  • Additional documentation may be required if coverage is being renewed.

Our administrative team is happy to help guide you through general requirements, but VAC determines all coverage details.

How Often Should You Book VA Massage Therapy?

Frequency varies depending on injuries, chronic conditions, and VAC-approved treatment plans.
Most veterans benefit from:

  • Weekly or bi-weekly therapeutic sessions for chronic pain

  • Ongoing maintenance treatments every 2–4 weeks

  • Shorter bursts of frequent care during flare-ups

Your therapist can help determine what schedule will offer the most benefit.
