    Helped me overcome injuries and return to running. Fellow runner, patient with an aging, over the hill runner. Creative and comprehensive in providing exercises I can do on my own at home or on the run.

    This is a wonderful sports care center. It's in an amazing location and I'm impressed every time I step inside. Usually I dread medical appts but here, I never mind coming to my appts.

    I'm here for concussion therapy and I'm comfortable with the team of three that I work with and I feel like they really care about me. They don't just treat me like some number, I feel like they actually invest time into their patients and try their best for recovery.

    It's seriously one of the most beautiful centers I've visited.

    I first went to see Melissa when I was suffering from a serious bout of achilles tendonitis last year. Using a combination of Graston technique and massage, she got me back out running fairly quickly. Achilles tendonitis is a tough one to get over, and it took a few sessions, but, thanks to Melissa, I was able to get back out and start running and racing again. She also helped me with a back problem I was having last July. Additionally, when I went to see her for some preventative care to try and avoid what seemed like a potential IT band injury, she helped me with that as well. I really appreciate that Melissa is an avid runner herself and thus understands how much a part of your life running can become and also how hard it is when you’re injured and can’t run.
