Every session refines your FutureProof Plan™, ensuring you continue to move with confidence and feel your best.

Common Questions
Most traditional care focuses on short-term relief—treating one symptom in isolation. At Myo, we take a smarter, whole-body approach that looks at how your body moves, where it’s holding tension, and what it needs to feel stronger, more mobile, and more in control.
Every session follows our FutureProof Method™—a five-phase framework that combines hands-on therapy with personalized movement strategies to help you reduce pain, prevent injury, and feel more confident in your body.
Your care is always one-on-one with an expert clinician. No machines, no assistants, and no cookie-cutter programs—just real, intentional care designed for you.
Every Myo session is one-on-one and begins with a whole-body assessment, so your care is tailored to how you move, what’s limiting you, and what your body needs most that day.
You’ll start with hands-on therapy to reduce pain, release tension, and restore alignment—relief you’ll feel immediately. Then, your clinician will guide you through personalized movement to help you build confidence and control in your body.
You’ll walk out not just feeling better, but with a deeper understanding of your body and the tools and insights to keep doing what you love, longer.
Your first step at Myo starts with either a Physical Therapist or Chiropractor—both fully trained to assess how your body moves, identify the root cause of any issues or challenges,, and build your personalized FutureProof Plan™.

We’re an out-of-network provider, which means we ask for payment at the time of your session and don’t bill insurance directly.
However, we can give you a superbill—a detailed receipt with everything your insurance company needs if you’d like to request reimbursement. If you'd like a superbill after your session, just let us know at the front desk. We’re happy to help.
Yes—we can direct bill most major insurance companies in Canada. Our front-of-house team is highly experienced with insurance claims and here to make your experience as smooth as possible. If you're unsure whether your insurer is among those we can bill directly, please contact your local clinic, and we'll be happy to assist you.
"My hamstring injury brought me to Myo. Regular sessions are now a non-negotiable part of my recovery and performance, and it’s helped me keep doing what I love."
“I saw five other therapists before coming to Myo. It was the first time someone actually said, ‘Tell me more,’ instead of rushing to a diagnosis. For the first time, I felt heard—and I finally understood that I wasn’t broken. That clarity changed everything.”
“After a long stretch of inactivity, even simple things like running across the street started to feel hard. I used to be active, but my body wasn’t moving like it used to. Coming to Myo reminded me that it’s not too late to take care of myself and enjoy life again.”
“I didn’t realize how much sitting and training was affecting my body—until it started causing regular back spasms. Myo helped me understand how my body should actually feel when it’s moving well, and now I move with way more awareness and confidence.”
“I came to Myo with a stubborn ankle issue and a lot of compensation on one side. Dr. Kayla took the time to really understand what was going on. After regular sessions, I’ve got better rotation, more flexibility, and I’m feeling strong on the golf course again”
