Dr.Marshall Henderson is wonderful! He was able to see me for an emergency. I couldn’t stand straight at all without pain. I left standing straight and feel so much better. He is great at setting goals with you and really listen. 100% recommend MVMT Physio and Chiro to anyone

MVMT Physio & Chiro is an excellent place. Every staff member I have had an experience with has been very friendly, professional and accommodating. Nadene Saidane is by far one of the best massage therapists that I have ever been treated by.

Wonderful people. Bryce explains everything in detail during the assessment, uses an app to remind you to do the exercises which includes a video to demonstrate how to do them, and then tracks that you are doing them. Didn't feel that there was any upselling.

Wife has been going to MVMT physio for about 1 year now. She is on her 3rd physiotherapist there but each one has been amazing in their own way. My wife isn't your normal patient as she is recovering from a spinal cord injury. Thank you Tia, Tricia, Vincent, Noah, and Nicole!!!!!

Honestly I was super scared to do acupuncture but Danielle walked me through the whole process, giving a very detailed assessment of my symptoms and what the treatment would look like. When she put the needles in, I could barely feel them, she was very gentle! And then when I told her I was scared to be left alone, she stayed in the room with me and answered all of my questions for the full treatment. I felt super relaxed afterwards and the fire cupping was a great way to end!

I am a professional mma fighter and I have thankfully been able to see Dr. Ahmed Mustafa for the last month or so, he decided to sponsor me for my fight camp and I honestly don't think I would be able to fight without his help and care. I train extremely hard throughout the week and my body gets run down. Since my first session I have been able to lose a great deal or stiffness and sorensess while taking care of any outstanding ailments I encounter throughout the week. Bottom line I have never received the amount or level of care provided . If you need a solid chiropractor Dr. Mustafa is your guy I promise yo won't regret booking an assessment.

After developing some knee pain that was not resolving with time, I decided to seek physiotherapy treatment. Through a google search of recommended clinics near my home, I booked an assessment at MVMT Physio. I met Teri Fralick for an initial assessment and immediately felt I was in good hands. Teri's professional, caring, and friendly approach put me at ease and she was able to come up with a targeted treatment plan. After 4 sessions, my knee pain is completely resolved and my lower body in general has not felt better. I attribute this all to Teri's skills and abilities as a therapist, as well as her collaborative approach to therapy. I would highly recommend Teri and the team at MVMT for your treatment needs!

Your body has its own healing capacity. You just need to activate it and we, your St Albert acupuncture and wellness team, can show you how.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Does the thought of someone poking you with a needle keep you from enjoying the amazing benefits of acupuncture? “But I’m afraid of needles!” You are not alone, we hear this sentiment very often. However, the needles you have probably experienced at the doctors were quite large, unpleasant and painful.
In contrast, an acupuncture needle is 1/15th the size of the regular hypodermic needle seen at your doctor’s office. In other words, you can fit 15 of these thin needles inside one traditional needle. These disposable needles are roughly the thickness of a strand of hair, allowing the needle insertion into place gently and painlessly for electrical stimulation of the central nervous system.
If you want to improve your health, you should consider acupuncture. Acupuncture is based in traditional Chinese medicine and helps re-direct the flow of energy (Qi), increases blood flow to the muscles and brings balance to your entire body. It stimulates the release of chemicals in your body, called endorphins.
This “feel-good” chemical is known to be the body’s natural pain killer. These are the same chemicals that are released in your body when you are laughing, exercising or eating chocolate, resulting in relaxation, pain management, reduced inflammation and natural healing.
Why Choose our St Albert Acupuncture team?
Our acupuncturist is ACC (Acupuncture Canada Certified) and incorporate acupuncture into custom treatment plans for conditions such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as part of a comprehensive treatment program. Studies indicate that acupuncture is most successful for optimum health when used in conjunction with other scope of practices.
Most insurance plans cover acupuncture, so if you have extended health benefits that include acupuncture you may have a portion (or all) of your treatment covered.
What Types of Conditions Can Acupuncture Treat?

How Can Acupuncture Therapy Help Me?

- Revive energy
- Calm your moods
- Create a sense of well-being in body, mind and spirit
- Fight off illnesses more efficiently

There is a reason why acupuncture is growing in popularity – because it can work very well for some. Our St Albert acupuncture team is experienced in diverse techniques that target the root cause and different levels of pain.
Good acupuncture is like an art form. An effective therapy of acupuncture involves a certain approach to achieve desired results. We take a holistic treatment approach to deliver the best results for our clients.
How Many Treatment Sessions Are Needed And How Often?
This can be affected by a number of things. The problem that is being treated, how long you’ve had the body ailment, and if it’ll be a right course of treatment plan for you.
With Acupuncture itself the results are normally seen within 6-10 treatment sessions.
When we first start therapy it is important to have a few treatments close to one another, so the effects will build upon one another. We can usually begin spacing appointments by a week or two, after the first few appointments.

Acupuncture St Albert FAQs
During your first visit, the acupuncturist will assess your overall health and discuss your specific concerns. Treatment may include the insertion of fine, hair-thin needles into specific points on the body. The needles remain in place for 15-45 minutes while you relax. You may experience a tingling sensation, but the treatment is generally painless.
Acupuncture is considered very safe when performed by a licensed practitioner. The needles used are single-use, sterile, and disposable, reducing any risk of infection. Although side effects are rare, some patients may experience lightheadedness after treatment. Always inform your acupuncturist of any medical conditions or medications to ensure a safe treatment tailored to your needs.
Results vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people may experience immediate relief, while others might require several sessions before noticing significant improvements. Typically, you can expect to see results after 3-5 treatments, although chronic conditions may take longer to respond. It’s important to commit to the recommended treatment plan for optimal results.
