Massage therapy is not just a job, it is my calling! I am versatile with many massage techniques. I do not just provide you with a traditional "feel good" spa massage. I have 29 years of hands on experience. If you suffer from TMJ disorders, headaches, upper, lower back conditions, rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis or have strained an area on your body doing weekend warrior activities...let me help! I have worked with local chiropractors, osteopaths and neurologists. My goal is to find the root of the problem which is causing the symptoms that you suffer from. I specialize in finding solutions for pain and problems related to issues of the body that no one else can seem to find answers to. Here is an example of one of my guest. At 86 years young, her goals were to drive herself to the grocery store and walk all the isles on her own. After six massage visits, she has reached her goal. She now is back on her feet again and enjoying life! As a sports enthusiast myself, I love making a difference for those that compete or those just wanting to be active. Early in my career, I had the privilege of working as a team trainer with high school athletics as well as with pro football athletes. I have worked with many local physicians and attorneys who have experience in workman compensation and personal injury cases. My question to you, what physical limitation is preventing you from enjoying life again? Please feel free to call or email me with your questions and concerns. 574-320-2502 Javmelendez68@gmail.com   Massage Practitioner, Javier Melendez

I have never experienced so much knowledge, transparency, and professionalism from any chiropractor massage therapist in my life as much as I did during my time with Javier. My body was so bad he even spent an extra hour of time with me in order to get my body in a position that we can continue in the future. With that being said, it was the most painful experience I’ve ever been through, but the good kind of pain you know. It is now been three days after and my shoulder and hips, which previously held unbearable. Pain now are the most minimal pain points throughout the day. I can’t wait to get in for my second and third session and plenty more to come. I can’t see myself, trusting anyone else with my body for the longest time as long as Xavier is in business, he will have mine.
