When athletes stretch, they usually do so ineffectively, performing the same old-school stretching exercises that several generations of athletes and coaches have used. Now is your chance to get yourself the stretch of a life time! Fascial Stretch Therapy is a unique system of therapy and training that dramatically improves your flexibility by lengthening your fascia.

I have a recurring rotator cuff injury and hip pain that I've had for approximately 8 years. I've been through a decent amount of treatment that included massages, chiropractic care, strength training, and physical therapy.
During my first session, Mel took the time to explain his techniques and the science behind them. Afterwards, I could absolutely feel the difference in my body. There was tangible relief.
Mel has a great bedside manner and is extremely knowledgeable about his craft. I plan on returning.

If you are a competitive athlete, this is where to go in DFW. It is everything you need from massage to core stability, strength, and power to injury prevention by someone active in research and developing technology.
Veteran /athlete owned small business. The quality of care is immeasurable.
There are too many PT clinics in the DFW metroplex that don’t truly resolve injuries in active athletes - skip them and head here.

My middle-school aged son plays competitive golf approx. 20 hours / week and was dealing with some repetitive stress injuries in his back limiting his ability to train and compete. We had tried PT and home stretching routines but they did not fully address the issues in his shoulder / upper back. After 1 session with Mel, my son said he felt his range of motion was materially better and that he was swinging more freely. We'll be back and would highly recommend Mel as it's not just the treatment session but also his strengthening recommendations as well

Mel is amazing! After just one session I had so much improvement in my pain. Not only that, but Mel is constantly teaching and I have learned so much in how to prevent injury and strengthen my skills. I will continue to go here and refer anyone seeking injury recovery, or just massage to this business.

They are the best in the field and set an example for all others!
Mallory, who manages the business, is so kind and thoughtful during visits and the follow-up after the appointments.
Mel is on another level of knowledge in the field and is so sincerely caring for his patients.
I literally mean this: They set the standard for the industry and are a great example for all businesses. Very thankful that we found them!

When I was a student-athlete, I was struggling with an orthopedic injury, and Mel was the only medical professional that both correctly diagnosed and treated the problem. He looks at the patient as a whole rather than a set of symptoms, and noticed even subtle changes that the doctors had missed. Because I wasn't a "star athlete", my injury was often disregarded by other professionals, but Mel always treated me with patience, kindness, and respect. His proficiency with massage therapy and kinesiology taping drastically improved my pain. I would strongly recommend him for all of your Sports Medicine

I'm in my 40's and last year I started getting back into running after a 10 year break. Mel is amazing! He explains what is causing your issue very clearly and his treatments always get me back on the trail. He also gives great exercises to do at home to keep me injury free. I would definitely recommend and continue going to him for all my running related issues.

Had a great experience on my first visit with Mel last week. My hip was hurting and getting in the way of getting back in shape so I can run distance. First session problem identified and release techniques gave me back flexibility that was missing. Now I have a diagnosis and rehab plan. Hooray....I will be back to make sure I’m progressing and if anything else comes up I know right where to go!
