Frequently Asked Questions
If you are new to our clinic, or even just to massage or RAPID, we know you have some questions. Your feedback is important so please get in touch should you need more information.
General FAQs
I am in pain. Would you recommend I book for a massage or RAPID?
You can get a better idea by reading about treatmens here.
That said, you are welcome to call (587.323.4842) or email us clinic@theralleve.ca to inquire about what might be best for you.
Do you offer direct-billing?
We direct-bill to most insurance companies. If yours is not on our list, we can provide you with a receipt containing all necessary information for reimbursement.
Am I required to fill out your Health Intake form?
Yes. Please complete your Health Intake form before your first appointment. Please include any major past or present injuries, illnesses/conditions, and medications. Existing clients will be asked to update their forms once a year.
If I am sick, can I still get a treatment?
Regardless of the cause (COVID–19, a variant, severe allergies, or even the common cold), we encourage you to stay home when ill. This is not only to prevent the possible spread of infection within our clinic, but massage/RAPID can potentially exacerbate cold and flu symptoms as well.

When I arrive for my appointment, where should I go?
Whether you arrive by car, transit, or foot, you can wait in our shared waiting area upstairs. Please note, there is no reception on staff so your therapist will come get you. Our main entrance is the door at the top of the wooden steps at the back of the building. Look for the “Wellness on 9th” signs to know you are in the right place. The Apothecary below our clinic also provides 9th Avenue facing access but this is only available during their hours of operation.
Are your therapists licensed and certified?
Yes! Part of what sets us apart is that we pride ourselves on hiring therapists with a minimum of 2,200 hours which means they are fully licensed and qualify for direct billing. Our therapists are frequently upgrading their skills and areas of specialization too.
Parking Information
We are pleased to offer free parking in the back parking lot, marked by ‘The Apothecary/All Things Jill’ signage. Please use these spaces only during your appointment.
Street parking is also available.
Am I required to wear a mask during treatment?
Currently, we are not asking our clients to wear masks; however, you can if you wish. Similarly, if you prefer us to wear one, we will do our best to accommodate.
Does Theralleve accept cash payments?
Currently, we do not accept cash payments for treatment. We do offer options for both contactless and PIN based card payments.
I loved my treatment! Do your therapists accept tips?
Tips are never expected but always appreciated. That said, we highly recommend showing your appreciation by writing a public review and/or referring us to your friends, family, and co-workers. Ask us about our Referral Program!
Do you offer gift certificates, gift cards, etc.?
Yes, we do!
We have gift certificates for everyday occasions and special events like silent auctions. To enquire, please send an email to clinic@theralleve.ca.
We also have eGift Cards. You can use this link to be directed to our order page. Follow the instructions, print it off, and share with your loved ones.
*Please note: though gift certificates/cards do not have an expiration date, they are non-refundable under any circumstances and that our treatment prices are subject to change. If you are unable to use your gift certificate/card due to unforeseen circumstances, you can give your gift certificate to a friend or the original purchaser. Read more about Alberta regulations around gift cards here.
Do you offer couples massage?
No, we do not as we are therapy focused.
