Beyond Ordinary Massage
Massage is the LEAST of what I do
At Cold Lake Advanced Clinical Massage, I deliver expert-level therapeutic care that goes far beyond traditional massage. While standard massage is part of what I offer, it's truly just the beginning of my comprehensive and holistic (whole person) approach to healing.
Why Choose Advanced Clinical Massage?
I specialize in evidence-based treatments that achieve superior, longer-lasting results for pain management, mobility issues, neurological concerns, and even purely indulgent relaxation. My advanced therapies include MAT(E)™, Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy (MAT), Red Light LED/Laser Therapy, and other clinical techniques typically found only in specialized healthcare settings.
Expertise That Makes a Difference
As a Registered Massage Therapist with over 3,000 hours of formal training (exceeding requirements), a related Graduate Degree, and dozens of specialized certifications, I offer a level of care that surpasses standard massage services. I continuously invest in additional training - about ten times what's required for the RMT designation - to provide you with the most effective treatment options available.
Results-Focused Care
When you choose my services, you're not paying for an ordinary massage - you're investing in ultimate therapeutic and/or indulgent outcomes. My clients seek me out not because I'm the least expensive option, but because I can deliver superior results.
Whether you're seeking relief from persistent pain, recovery from injury, or the ultimate in therapeutic relaxation, my advanced clinical approach delivers care that's tailored to your specific needs and is backed by science.

I am Roger Walker MMT RMT (and some other alphabet soup I don’t worry about). I generally provide three types of treatments, though if you look around, you might find my Corporate Wellness Massage and some spa stuff, plus some additional modalities I might throw into the mix, on occasion.
Let’s cut to the chase: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR RESULTS, THIS IS THE PLACE, whether it is an issue of pain, posture, mobility, injury, stress, work/sport performance, recovery, corporate wellness, management of many specific illnesses and conditions, and so much more. I can treat anything a chiro or physio can, probably gentler and safer, and maybe more effectively, which can sometimes save you from surgery, drugs, or invasive treatments. I only use non-invasive, evidence based modalities - substance, not fluff. My treatments are an investment in your ongoing health, which pays dividends in all areas of your life, not an expense. I treat holistically (whole person) rather than with focus, as I get better results that way.
At one extreme is my “Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy (Extended)”™, also called MAT(E)™. It uses techniques that are characteristically Slow, Gentle, Intentional, and Pain-Free, to affect the Autonomic Nervous System to stop unnecessarily protecting (tightening muscles) so that healing can take place. Treatments are done on a mat (or low table) with your clothes on.
At the other extreme is RAPID NeuroFascial Reset. The modality’s creator describes the treatments as “uncomfortable,” but after undergoing many treatments in training, I would suggest it is between “uncomfortable” and “painful,” depending on the technique or purpose - your mileage may vary. The good news is that the results tend to come quickly. At the moment, I will be offering this during my other treatment sessions, if indicated and you actually want this. This is also done with the clothes on.
In between is my Thorough Traditional Table Massage. This is pretty much the same table massage you can get anywhere, except that my sessions tend to be much more thorough. While most massage therapists breeze through a full body massage in 60 minutes, I would probably need 3 hours. These sessions start at 90 minutes - anything less and I am just getting warmed up.
I also do combo (mat and traditional) sessions (starting at 2 hours), which are very popular, and recommended. Most patients start at 90 minutes or 2 hours, and often book longer sessions the next time. They are onto something!
As I type this, my most recent patient was a medical doctor who was previously getting monthly treatments for the same old bothersome issues, without any improvement. This meant they were only treating her symptoms. With me, she now knows that I will be treating her to reduce and eliminate the real causes of those symptoms.
How effective are my treatments? A young scoliosis patient whose spinal curve was 3.5” from center (severe!) reduced it by 50% in 2 months (5-6 treatments) - Any improvement is unheard of because the body adapts so well to the condition. A woman who was suffering 6.5/10 pain in the midst of a weekly migraine reduced it to 1.5/10 during the session - Recurrences are few and far between, and at a much lower intensity. Whether it’s sprains, strains, or automobile (accidents), I can help!
Just want to separate these collapsible text sections.
