I went in to see Melissa hurting in many areas, Melissa works her magic stretching me in different ways making me feel amazing when I walk back out. She is professional and listens to detail with my concerns about pain. Stretch PDX is top notch I will be back for many sessions with Melissa. Thank you so much your the best!
Melissa did an amazing job stretching my muscles and explaining what she was doing and why. I am by no means an athlete and this helped me to feel more limber. Highly recommend.
Melissa is a FANTASTIC therapist. If you are interested in stretch therapy or considering a new location, this is the place to go. She is a total professional.
Melissa is a muscle whisperer. She is amazing and has been working on my old worn out body. Thank you so much.
It was trial session. Melissa was very knowledgable and has a great technique. I felt so relaxed after the treatment. Will repeat this!!
Melissa was terrific! She explained everything well and was very caring and thorough. Highly recommended her.
Melissa is awesome! Every session is helpful and keeps me moving. In addition to immediate benefits from the stretching sessions, she is a great educator. Shes helped me figure out what the root causes of some issues so that I can adjust my routines to be more healthy and has taught me a number of stretches for the in between sessions.
Melissa IS AMAZING!! I came in with a pretty locked up low back, difficulty putting on my shoes, and just overall kinda miserable. I left feeling 100%, was able to run my dogs, put together a bunch of furniture, and go to the gym without a problem. This is a must do if you want to feel your best.
I went in for a stretch to improve my flexibility for golf. Melissa listened to my thoughts on what I wanted out of the stretch, as well as asked if I had any injuries she should be aware of (I did), and she worked around my injuries to give me a great set of golf-focused stretches! Once I understood that my only job was basically to relax, I got the hang of it. Melissa was great, and I must also comment on her strength level! It takes MUSCLE to do this stuff! Well done Melissa! Ill be back!
Never done stretch therapy before but can definitely recommend after coming here. Melissa is awesome! Even just 15 minutes with her can make a world of difference. She really listens and responds to what you need, creates a relaxing environment, and gives helpful suggestions for how to continue your stretchy journey after your appointment. After many years of pain, my levels have gone down significantly with just a few sessions at Stretch PDX. Thanks Melissa!!
Stretch with Melissa is a fantastic experience. When I am finished with a session I feel more limber and free from stiff painful discomfort. I highly recommend this as a regular addition to your routine.
I had a perfect 50 minute session with Melissa H., and it was, by far, the most helpful , relieving, healing treatment I have had. My muscles are VERY tight and although I have wonderful massage therapists, this is different and very well suited to people who have pain due to tight muscles. I felt like I was floating after the treatment!Melissa is professional, knowledgeable, and is very sweet and warm. I already have made another appointment and will be seeing her as often as possible. : )
Melissa is amazing, I highly recommend her! Stretch therapy has helped my body both pre and post heavy lifting workouts along with just my daily life. I’ve never felt better thanks to Melissa!!
Melissa is absolutely fantastic and will make you feel completely comfortable while stretching parts of your muscles that you didn’t even know you could stretch! Her space is beautiful and you can tell she sincerely cares about her clients and their needs. She goes above and beyond to accommodate and you’ll also learn a thing or two about how to better take care of your body. All around, it’s a great experience.
Melissa is great! Something about having another person give you a strong stretch while you just relax is so pleasant. The atmosphere is awesome, very peaceful. Her Hypervolt tool is so cool, too - that deep vibration just helps get everything feeling amazing. Highly recommend a quick 25 minute session after a workout or a long weekend in the garden.
I’ve been going to StrechPDX for awhile now and I can’t say enough great things about this.My wife actually found Melissa and asked if I wanted to try. I did and found when the session was over I felt better than I ever had even after the best massage. Melissa has a great personality and she stretches your body in ways you can’t do yourself. Her knowledge of the muscular system and body is top notch. I’m a competitive sparer in TaeKwanDo and at 50 I am always looking for ways to recover faster and prevent injuries. Trust me it takes it’s toll.This is exactly what Melissa at StrechPDX does. We have many friends that have tried it out and every single one of them still see her on a regular basis! If you go to see her you won’t be disappointed! 😄👍👍
Melissa really seems to know a lot about body movement and how to improve mechanics with stretching. Ive been told a few times that my tight hamstrings are an injury waiting to happen. After my first session with Melissa I feel confident this therapy will help reduce my risk of injury and improve my overall running mechanics.
Melissa is awesome! She’s great at working with me where I’m at- pushing me enough to help my body, but not so much that it’s ever painful. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of stretching/body work.
I wish I had more time and money to schedule more often. Melissa is great and super professional! Shes helping keep these ol joints sound!
I am seeing Melissa because of stiff hips and knees - from so much sitting in Zoom meetings. She gave me exercises to do so I could keep up what she did in the sessions. Its been like a miracle because this past week I could do hours of garden putting away work - without pain. Shes amazing in the sessions because shes moving my body in ways that.I know release the stiffness that has been plaguing me. Shes a miracle worker!
I did my trail stretch and it was amazing! I immediately booked a follow up and will be making subsequent apps going forward!
So I have tell you, I have not woke up at a 2-3 pain level and worked hard all day with out major agitation to my back and neck for it seems like an eternity (well over a year), till today. I won’t lie, the fact is that I have been mostly pain free all day and it is very emotional for me and I can only imagine how the continued Strech therapy will get me to where I was 3 years ago before my accident!! Sometimes you have to work on the foundation before the spot that looks like the problem. Get to the root of the issue!! Melissa did just that, listened, and asked questions, then went to work in her craft fixing the foundation (muscles, tissue, ligaments) thru FST. Melissa has given my body pain relief where, massage, chiro, physical therapy and acupuncture couldn’t or hadn’t. Thank you so much for doing what you do and having a place I can come get fixed in a way I totally understand. 5 stars all day!
Melissa is amazing! She has the magic touch and every time I see her I feel significantly better. She customizes her work so that you get your very own special treatment. I highly recommend her.
Melissa is a master at her craft! She is very in tune with your needs! She makes you feel very comfortable and your body will feel so much better!!!
Can’t say enough good things about Stretch PDX.Never had any kind of experience with assisted stretching, stretch therapy, or anything related. I always held the mindset that I could just do it myself, I have never been happier to be wrong in my life! Melissa is amazing and has been able to help me far surpass what I had hoped for! If youre on the fence about doing it or not, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I have had several stretch sessions with Melissa. She recently helped alleviate considerable pain I was having from a pinched nerve. She is extremely knowledgable and highly skilled. Not all Stretch Coaches are created equal. Melissa stands head & shoulders above the rest. I have made Stretch PDX a part of my regular bodywork/self care routine.
Melissa is indeed professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend Melissa for soft tissue issues. Give her a try. You will like it.
Ask for Darby. She’s intuitive, effective, 6 years experienced as an LMT, & very professional. Very good at deep tissue & stretching. Her massages are a mix of relaxing & therapeutic massage, & you never feel like your time is being wasted, & you’re getting the soft tissue work that you are paying for. Rates are typical & competitive for the area.
I have done acupuncture, chiropractor, massage and much more. This is the first treatment that I can notice a difference from when I entered the room to when I leave. As a former gymnast I thought that stretching wouldn’t help because I am already flexible. I was wrong, this is so much more.The FST style of stretching is totally different than the chain companies, like the Stretch Labs that have been popping up. I have tried both and Stretch PDX is 100% better.I have already had one full fusion at L 4-5 and I am trying to avoid another surgery. This is the first therapy I have tried that has given me any relief😊👍I give a 5 star - two thumbs up review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍
Everyone should go see Melissa at Stretch PDX! I did not realize how tight my muscles were from the stress I have in dealing with my aging parents! After one session I was hooked. Book your session now and start relaxing!!!
I absolutely loved getting stretched at Stretch PDX!! It felt so amazing and my back feels much better. I am going to be a customer for life! I would totally recommend you trying it out especially if you have any chronic pain issues with your body! Its also just really fun and relaxing in general :)
Thanks for the great session yesterday. My shoulders are moving much easier and with no pain! I’ve recommended you to several friends. Can’t wait to see how well they feel after seeing you.Marge Brickey
I went to Stretch PDX after a referral from a friend. I have always been a fan of getting a massage but this was hands down a better experience. You get the same relaxing experience but the increase in my range of motion and flexibility from assisted stretching was immediate and long lasting. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
I came to Melissa with a tight back and lower body and grumpy attitude. She stretched me out and made me feel relaxed and happy. She turned my frown upside down! The Hypervolt was soooooo good! I will definitely be making this a regular thing!
Wow! Exceeded my expectations. I initially went becuase my back was tight. The session was great and Melissa knew just what to do in order to help. I walked out of there feeling much be better. Now I go becuase it feels amazing. Highly recommend!
First time having an assisted stretch. I was skeptical at first, but for a desk jockey that (tries to) get to the gym a few times a week, Stretch PDX was damn near life changing! I can only describe it as feeling younger. Range of motion, soreness from my bad office chair posture is gone. Already scheduled my second session. My wife also absolutely loved it. The Hypervolt massager was incredible as well.
Melissa always asks insightful questions prior to the beginning of the session to ensure that she customizes the treatment to provide the maximum physical benefit.
There was a warm, inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Melissa is personable and very competent. I walked away feeling relaxed, loose and ready to tackle the rest of the day. I will be back!
Incredible experience! My body felt so much better. It literally released my aches and pains and was so much better than any massages from the past. I am looking forward to my next session.
After a 15 minute demo stretch my numbness to my foot was gone. Two months later it is still gone! Melissa was awesome!! Highly recommend her!!!
I didn’t know what to expect, but I felt amazing after my session. It was better than a massage. My range of motion is much improved. Thanks Melissa. I’ll be back.
Wow. I just had my first FST session yesterday and I’m so amazed at how much more range of motion and less pain I have.
Super experienced technician, who knows all the secrets of manipulating your muscles and joints so that you feel amazing and renewed when leaving the clinic.
I was the least flexible person ever! This has helped me so much. Melissa is amazing. Highly recommended.
Melissa is incredible. I’d highly recommend making a stretch part of your weekly routine.
Melissa is amazing!
Best stretch therapy period! Youve gotta give it a try!
Worth every penny!
