Melissa is a Licensed Massage Practitioner/Therapist and the owner of Miller Medical Massage. In 2004 Melissa graduated the Massage Therapy program at Renton Technical College in Renton, Washington. She has over 20 years experience treating people with acute injuries including whiplash, concussions, PTSD, anxiety, seatbelt injuries, contusions, broken ribs, soft-tissue tears, head injuries, tremor, jaw pain, headache, migraine, tinnitus, vertigo and more. She also has extensive education and experience in chronic issues such low back and hip pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), thoracic outlet syndrome, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, scoliosis, nerve pain/tingling/numbness, tennis and golfer’s elbow, foot pain and jaw/head/face pain. In 2011 Melissa became certified in Active Release Techniques (ART); Upper and Lower Extremity and in 2022, she became certified in the newly added Masters Course Upper Extremity Level II. In her 20 year career, she has successfully navigated the world of insurance billing, as it pertains to massage and manual therapy with an emphasis on auto insurance and workers’ compensation claims. Miller’s approach is multidimensional, or holistic. We have honed in on what makes patient outcomes the most successful and implemented them throughout the clinic. We take the time to listen, we ask clarifying questions, we find out what worked and didn’t work in the past, items or areas of health that may have been overlooked. We make sure the patient feels heard and that they can see we are using critical thinking skills to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. We understand that there are social, emotional and cultural components to each person that make up the entire person– and we take that into account when working with you. We think that you matter, that you deserve to be heard and listened to and you deserve to have someone in your corner– an advocate. We would love the opportunity to help you become pain-free and to get back to doing the things you love! We look forward to meeting you!
This is the appointment type for ALL new patients (except for insurance cases). New patient appointments are 90 minutes long and include an evaluation/assessment. We typically allow up to 30 minutes for the evaluation/assessment and 60 minutes of hands-on time. During this session, your therapist will go over your Health Intake Form, get to know you and your activities of daily living, fully understand your goals for seeking care in our office and develop a plan for care. _____________ *If you are an existing patient but it has been more than 6 months since you've been in, you will need a 90 minute new patient appointment and an updated health intake form. __________ Cancelation Policy: Please allow 48 hours notice when canceling or rescheduling an appointment, otherwise, you will be billed for for the entire visit.
