Review from Katie C.
Calgary, AB
12/6/2009
I had to use up my benefits somehow, and considering I have terrible posture and spend much to much time online, I figured that the best way to work it out was to get a massage! It turns out it was a good thing I did. In all honesty, my requirements for massage were that they were registered, and that the place was convenient.
A friend passing by recommended this place, and I am so, so grateful that he did. It is very clinical, clean and professional - it looks good, and that is important. It looks healthful, but it was still a little relaxing.
My back is apparently like a brick - while I didn't quite know that, I did know that I had a lot of tension. Quite a lot. I told Sarah (who is really nice and very good - excellent mix) to go hard, and she went hard: this was no relaxing girly massage (although I 'm sure you can get those too). Just to clarify: I specifically asked for her to go hard, and to ignore me if I squealed.
My back is STILL sore, but in that delicious way where you can feel that it is looser and absent of knots. I'm going back in a week and I'm a little scared, but I'm looking forward to feeling completely light and loose again. I've gotten through layer 1...
Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying out a number of their services! They offer chiropractic, acupuncture and naturopathic sessions, and I'm eager to see what I can do to make my body work for me... -

The best integrative health clinic in Calgary. Dr. Lawson and Gordon are as good as it gets for chiropractic and massage therapy.

History
Established in 1930
Downtown Integrative Health Group began in the 1930's as Calgary Chiropractic Clinic. In 2003 Dr. David Lawson, the clinic director and owner changed the name to Downtown Integrative Health Group to better reflect the expanded complementary and alternative health care options we provide. Our clinic is a model for integrated health care delivery, emphasizing preventative medicine and individualized care. Everything we do for our patients is guided by the clinic mission statement.
Meet the Business Owner: Dr. David L.
Dr. Lawson is proud to be part of Chiropractic's history in Alberta. His "Great Uncle Will" and his aunt were two of the first chiropractors in western Canada. His father, Dr. Ross Lawson, practiced in downtown Calgary for 35 years and during that time was instrumental in establishing chiropractic as a Regulated Health Profession with the Government of Alberta. Dr. Lawson's childhood impression of chiropractic lead him to decide to be a chiropractor at the age of 8. That goal was accomplished in 1978 when he graduated from the Toronto based Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, joining his father in his downtown practice until his death in 1985. In 2001 Dr. Lawson changed the clinic's name from Calgary Chiropractic Clinic to Downtown Integrative Health Group, reflecting its expanding health services.
Dr. Lawson has served his profession in provincial and national chiropractic associations in areas of continuing education, health care restructuring and Complementary and Alternative M
