"I was always in good shape, played sports my whole life, and never got injured.  It wasn’t until I started weightlifting more seriously and getting stronger that I noticed the many imbalances in my body.  I’ve spent years researching the biomechanics of human movement, and applying it to my own practice, and still, what I knew wasn’t enough. I also knew that unfortunately most people didn’t know more, and couldn’t do quite what I needed, which was to take my fitness and address the concerns to allow for me to elevate it to another level. There were deficiencies in my musculature, limited range of motion in certain planes, and so on. After a conversation and one session with Melissa, I felt better than I’d ever felt.  Perhaps of equal importance, I felt reassured that I was in the proverbial hands of someone who knew enough to teach me what I didn’t know, and allow for me to move at a level I didn’t know I could.  I have been receiving regular treatment from her since, and have improved in virtually every aspect of movement. There isn’t one nagging issue she hasn’t been able to not only help but completely eliminate. I thank her dearly for this.  To be able to take someone who has had no real injuries and be able to work on them to allow for even greater health and well-being is, I think, a very rare skill. She’s as important and ongoing a piece of the athlete’s arsenal as a barbell and food."
