I had my first office chair massage from Glen and I was very satistied with the results. I later booked a 90min massage at my home and again I was very satisfied. I have high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetis and regular massages are a real benefit to maintaining good circulation and helps to relieve stress. Glen made me feel very comfortable and I was very relaxed after my massage. I recommend Glen highly and look forward to booking my next appointment soon. Thank you Peter
I didnt know what to expect with this but it was fantastic.

Made a difference in my life - I was having trouble walking and this massage worked out some terrible sore spots in my lower back. I am looking forward to my
next massage.
Your service and very flexible in accommodating in regards to re-scheduling if needed. Thanks, Iba.
I look forward to this massage every week and it is always conducted in a professional, friendly manor.

I feel that I benefit greatly from my 30 Min.Massage as it helps to relieve stress & I go back to work feeling refreshed & more relaxed. Thanks! Sandra
I'm very pleased that you are aware of my work environment ie; working at a computer all day, and take care to attend to my arms and hands as well as back. Vanessa
I knew my shoulders were tight, but I didn't realize that even my arms are one big knot. I feel great and look forward to my next massage. Thanks Glen! Marion
Glen your massage is the highlight of my week. I leave with no pain in my back and neck and feeling fantastic. Thanks, Gloria.
Just wanted to let you know that I really like the online appointment booking that you set up! It is so quick and easy to book my appointment right from my desk – very user-friendly and much more convenient. I also like that I got an email reminder for my appointment. I will be booking online from now on! Stacie Baker Bow Valley College
I found Glen's acupressure massage to be very relaxing. Just the right amount of pressure was used. Through the acupuncture points, all of the organs were addressed, making the massage harmonizing and balancing not only the muscles involved, but to all of the internal viscera. I was surprised at what could be done in 15 minutes.

"Glen Beckel can take a so-so day and turn it right side up. I have no specific kinks, knots or even stiff spots but working at a chair all day can make me feel a bit sluggish by mid-afternoon. I was aware of Glen's presence on our floor for a few months but had just shrugged and dismissed the idea of a message until a colleague suggested I give the half-hour message a try. It was an excellent experience. I now drop in almost at my convenience (Glen books times that are very accommodating to my busy schedule) and this simple and incredibly relaxing session tunes me up for the rest of week. I quickly write up a Health Spending Account form, staple his receipt to the form and mail it off to Blue Cross. The refund cheque arrives quickly and I now get free weekly messages from a guy who really does know what he is doing. This is a 20 minute essential for me and I really recommend Glen's service to any one who wants to physically tune up their week. He makes it easy, comfortable and well worth the little time it takes in a busy day."
Murray Ronaghan, Bow Valley College
"I look forward to my weekly massages. It's very therapeutic and rejuvenating. The pinched nerve in neck is worked out and gives me mobility to work without the tension and pain during the day. I love it!
Iba Boda, Bow Valley College
"It’s been almost two years ago that I meet Glen at the Premier’s Golf Tournament at Silver Tip in Canmore. I just wanted to thank you for diagnosing my hip flexor problem on the golf course and recommending massage as a way to treat it. I would not have thought to take advantage of massage as a means to relieve my pain and lack of mobility in my lower back, if it were not for you in insisting that I come in for treatments with you. I very much appreciate that you were able to pinpoint the problem quickly and treat it within 4 weeks.
I’ve also been able to start up a fitness program as well and I find your massage treatments help me keep my workout routines less stressful. I also appreciate even more on how much massage can help in preventative maintenance and helping me with my activities and work."
Best regards,
Dr. Barb Chipeur, DDS
"have been fortunate enough to experience Mr. Beckel personally, as a client as well as professionally, as a Chiropractor who wants to refer patients to an excellent Massage Therapist. His knowledge of anatomy and his diagnostic skills are second to none. For myself, it was a pleasant discovery to find a massage therapist who has the ability to provide a deep massage (he is a strong guy!) as well as a more relaxing massage when needed. As well, massages with Glen are educating as he relates biomechanically why one is having issues in certain areas. This is invaluable and a rare find amongst Massage Therapists. I strongly recommend Glen for athletes and "normal" folk alike! "

My name is Chermine Crick, a Bodybuilder of the Alberta Bodybuilding Association and an avid soccer player. Glen has helped me to prepare for my first National Bodybuilding Competition that was held August 2007. His thoroughness and deep muscle massage allowed me to be more relaxed than in my previous competitions. He gives massages that are very sport specific that an athlete only dreams of receiving before a crucial event.
Each session begins with a discussion on concerned areas that require attention. From a bodybuilding point of view, all muscles were of concern in which Glen was able to address in a short time given. Receiving his massage the day before competition was very beneficial. My performance was greatly enhanced as I was not as fatigued as previous contests. I found my muscles and my overall body was more prepared for the repetitiveness it had to endure.
After placing fifth at Nationals, a post-therapeutic massage alleviated soreness and a faster recovery. It helped me to prepare for soccer provincial championships two weekends later. Glen had focused on areas that allowed my muscles to positively react to the demands of two different sports each at a high level. My soccer team won gold at soccer provincials and I was one of few athletes on the team that was not soreness. I am now preparing for the Soccer National Championships in October.
Glen is very much part of my preparation in order to perform at my best. As an athlete deep massages attributes to better overall performance. Glen knows what his client should focus on depending on their goal."
As a world stage athlete in the sport of Bobsleigh, incorporating FX Massage Therapy into my intense training regimes, has proven very valuable in regards to my recovery and performance. My performance in weight training, sprinting and pushing has improved and my team has performed personal bests in races following massage therapy from Glen. Increased range of motion, limberness, quicker reflexes, increased strength, increased power, clearness of mind and greater focus, have been some of the benefits that my team have experienced in pre event situations, using massage therapy. The benefits of post event massage therapy have been relaxation and decreased muscle soreness, resulting in shorter recovery times in training. Glen is a fully competent massage therapist who is very professional and made me feel at ease in a vulnerable setting. Glen can read the muscles and know where the problem areas are without having to inform him. He adapts to the situation needed to get the best results. ie: strong or gentle strokes to relax the muscles. FX Massage Therapy also offers various other therapies that address wellness issues, such as ear candling, which I feel will be beneficial with our sports common change in altitudes. I can strongly recommend that you will achieve the effects you are looking for with Glen and FX Massage Therapy.
I also greatly appreciate the support Glen provides in sponsoring Team Smith in our quest for the 2006 winter Olympics at Torino, Italy.
