Description of Practice: Melyssa Davis, LMT, ARCB

Life can be tough on our bodies, especially our feet. And the condition of our feet affects the way the rest of our body feels and our overall health. Overuse, injuries, the wrong footwear and many other factors can damage our feet. Foot issues can cause knee pain, hip pain, back pain, neck pain, widespread pain and stress.

As a former ballet dancer who has undergone bilateral foot surgeries and a lifelong city-dweller, I understand firsthand how vital proper foot care is to overall health and well-being. My personal journey, combined with my professional experience in a foot surgeon’s office and my years as a yoga teacher, has deepened my commitment to health and wellness. Today, I bring all of these experiences together as a skilled licensed manual therapist and holistic movement practitioner, certified in multiple modalities, to offer compassionate and expert care.

I've helped hundreds of people with chronic foot pain, anxiety, fatigue, digestive issues, stiff or chronically dehydrated fascial tissue, muscular pain and weakness, flat or stiff high-arched feet, bunions, heel pain, forefoot neuromas, plantar fasciitis, sub-optimal gait patterns and more to restore their mind-body connection and overall approach to wellness via skilled manual therapy, suggested footwear, self-care protocols, and support for optimzing ongoing daily habits.

Some Methods I Incorporate To Help You Feel Better:  

• Yamuna Foot Fitness™: Strengthen your feet and you will strengthen your body with simple, proactive tools that can help you alleviate pain or prevent it. Yamuna Foot Fitness can prevent or alleviate common foot problems such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuromas, hammertoes, calcification, and arthritis.These foot exercises restore range of motion in all the joints of the feet. Using special props called foot wakers or the more advanced foot savers, Yamuna Foot Fitness restores healthy foot function by creating balance, flexibility, improving circulation, strength, and proper gait (walking patterns).
• Yamuna® Body Rolling: Regardless of age or physical limitations, everyone can make remarkable changes in their bodies with the self-healing and maintenance techniques of Yamuna® Body Rolling. Using specialized therapy balls created by Yamuna Zake, I’ll teach you routines that take you through the entire body. A few of the benefits of YBR® are: Elongated Muscles, A Relaxed Spine, Improved Alignment and Range of Motion. A ball is just a ball, without the education!
• FEET-NESS™: The Workout You Never Knew You Needed. FEET-NESS is a great tool for personal trainers, Pilates Instructors, Yoga Practitioners, Athletes, Runners and any type of educator in the fitness industry. Change your body from the ground up and see both faster and better results. 
• The MELT Method: Learn about connective tissue hydration and the secrets to anti-aging that diet and exercise alone can't address. The MELT Method helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain via an easy-to-follow self-treatment method. Using specialized rubber balls to stimulate the return of fluid to your connective tissue, I'll show you how to rehydrate the fascia while quieting the nervous system and heightening body sense. MELT Method is the perfect maintenance program for your active lifestyle.
• Reiki: A relaxation technique originating from Japan that promotes healing and stress reduction. A warm, soothing energy flows from the practitioner's hands and into the body to release tension and induce relaxation. Sessions of 30 to 90 minutes offer you an opportunity to return to balance.
• Reflexology: As a nationally certified reflexologist, I apply pressure to specific parts of the foot and hand. The practice of reflexology is known to heal different parts of the body. The focus is on how your body’s nervous system is all connected. The activation of certain areas of your feet can alleviate a range of health issues such chronic pain, anxiety and sleep issues.
