Unlike traditional massage, ART® is active and assessment-led. Aneta applies precise tension while you move—targeting soft-tissue restrictions, repetitive strain, and limited mobility.

Meet Aneta
Aneta Dang is a Registered Massage Therapist offering assessment-based ART® treatments in Sundre, Alberta—focused on soft-tissue restrictions, repetitive strain, and movement.
I've never believed treatment should be passive. I want clients to understand why their body is moving the way it is—not simply feel better until tomorrow.
When soft tissue restricts how you move, daily life and training both suffer. ART® focuses on finding and treating that restriction—with clear communication and practical next steps.

I have been seeing Aneta for both ART and massage to assist with leg tightness resulting from triathlon training. I have worked with a number of massage therapists over the years, but Aneta's technical skills are a leap above any I have personally experienced. She also provides detailed and appropriate recommendations to help with the recovery. High recommendation from me.
Aneta's intuitive knowledge of what is happening with my body and what needs to be worked out is unreal. I always walk away from a massage session knowing that I am on the road to recovery from all my sports related injuries. You will always be in good hands.
Aneta was not only able to restore function to my frozen shoulder, she was also able to aid in restoring my faith in hands-on therapy. Her natural ability to feel her way around my pain and diagnose the root cause of that pain is unparalleled to anyone else I have seen.

Clear answers about ART® sessions with Aneta—so you can book with confidence.
Active Release Techniques® (ART®) is a movement-based soft-tissue treatment method. Aneta evaluates restricted tissues and applies precise tension while you often move through guided ranges—targeting muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and related nerve entrapments when appropriate.
ART® can feel intense on restricted tissue, especially where motion has been limited. Discomfort should remain tolerable and purposeful—not sharp or alarming. Aneta adjusts pressure based on your feedback throughout the session.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows movement—such as athletic pants, sweats, or shorts. Sessions are usually fully clothed without oils or lotions. Skin contact may occasionally be needed depending on the area treated.
A referral is not required to book an ART® assessment with Aneta. If you have a complex medical history or recent injury, bring relevant details so she can assess safely and appropriately.
Because sessions are provided by a Registered Massage Therapist, some benefit plans may cover them as massage therapy. Coverage varies and is not guaranteed. Confirm with your provider. Direct billing is available upon request.
