Earlier this year I suffered the worst bout of lower back pain I'd ever had. I paid a fortune for stronger and stronger meds that barely masked the pain and by the time I made an appointment with Melissa I had become very distressed and exhausted. Upon meeting her I felt immediately at ease, and the questions she asked me reassured me that she would address my specific issues. I felt a great deal better immediately after my massage, and within 24 hours I was back to 100%. Thanks Melissa you were fantastic!
Melissa’s Story
Hi my name is Melissa, I am an experienced athlete and massage therapist in Wantirna South. I completed my first qualification in 1994 as a Sports Massage Therapist, I then went on to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Movement. During this time I was introduced to Rugby Union and played at an elite level for 10 years. Representing Australia at two World Cups, Victoria, Northern Territory and my local club Box Hill Fillies. Whilst I played I had two children and retired shortly after the birth of my second child. I updated my qualifications to become a Remedial Therapist in 2016. For over 24 years I have worked with athletes and clients with acute and chronic muscular pain.
