As a chronic pain patient, I found Melanie almost 10 years ago searching for help after multiple not so successful back and neck surgeries along with a recently broken hip. What I appreciate about Melanie is she takes a very logical approach to body work using her MRI thumb to find trigger points and tense muscles. That changes weekly on me, and Melanie has been part of my pain management regimen for over a decade now. It’s not too big for her to find where I need specific help and provide what I term a Medical Massage. I always get successful body work and help with pain relief. Melanie also takes her time warming up the muscles before moving on to full pressure, so I’ve never been bruised using her techniques, and that includes her pointy elbow when she’s telling muscles who’s the boss. But her techniques are malleable to adjust to your personal need, even if it’s just a relaxation massage. I highly recommend Melanie as a Massage Therapist. She has helped me greatly over the years, and being a chronic pain patient for years to come.
