Pain? Restriction?
Get targeted results with detailed orthopedic and functional testing combined with focused hands-on manual therapy.
Myofascial trigger point therapy is a comprehensive rehabilitative manual therapy treatment approach designed to treat myofascial pain, addressing postural distortions and movement dysfunctions.
After conducting a thorough patient history, pain patterns are charted, movement assessments and structural evaluations are conducted. Restrictions and dysfunction within muscles and connective tissues are treated, in order to restore optimal neuromuscular function and tissue hydration to the superficial & deep fascia layers, ligaments, joint capsules, & scar tissue.
Soft tissue restrictions in muscle and/or fascial layers are released utilizing compression on the area during static, passive or active movement. Other forms of mechanoreceptor sensory input are effectively incorporated into the treatment, such as shear stretch, vibration, percussion, light touch, and more. Vapocoolant spray & stretch, muscle energy techniques, strain/counterstrain, and positional release, combined with passive, active and PNF stretches help to encourage the joints to return to their optimal position, and the soft tissues to return to their normal resting length and function. Precipitating and perpetuating factors are addressed, and appropriate corrective home exercises are recommended.
Since this form of treatment requires movement during evaluation and treatment, it's recommended that you wear clothing you can stretch and move in, such as athletic shorts, tank top or sports bra. Please, no restrictive, thick or denim clothing!

What Our Clients Are Saying
“I've lived for years having headaches, joint pain, fatigue and general aches and pain. Coming to Full Circle Wellness was my last resort and hopeful I might finally achieve some relief. It was exactly what I needed and after a year of seeing Melissa. I finally wake in the morning without headaches or pain getting out of bed. She's amazing and has a wonderful touch and compassion for her patients. She gave me exercises to work on, tools to help me achieve better breathing and sleep so I can stay pain free between appointments. It's been life changing since starting with Full Circle Wellness. I highly recommend them to anyone that is searching for better sleep, pain free days and overall improved health. Thank you for making my mornings better!!”

“This place is amazing! Melissa took me on post hip and neck injury and now, not only am I *finally* living pain free, she has helped me learn how to maintain my body while continuing my biking, climbing, running, etc. She has a great network. I have found Full Circle Wellness to be an excellent resource for my health! I can't recommend this place highly enough!”
C. Wieland
“Full Circle Wellness has been my lifesaver for over 8 years. Melissa Alverson loves to stay up to date on all latest practices that affect her clients so she can try new techniques/strategies to help them remain pain free. She can easily determine the root cause of my pain issue at the time and quickly resolve it. I see her monthly for tune-ups and it’s the best investment in my health I have ever made. She keeps me from having to take pain meds or go to the doctor!”
D. Hunt
“Melissa is the queen of myofascial release. I've been her patient now for several years and she knows not only muscles but the mechanics of how everything in your body connects and works together. She has helped me work through a car accident that was over 30 years ago and get my body back working properly. I strongly recommend Full Circle Wellness to anyone wanting to feel better.”
P. Pearson
“Melissa has helped me with so many things. She has helped me with chronic neck pain, not only repair but rehab and strength for it. She has helped me to completely resolve heart burn. These two things are huge but in addition she has helped me trust my body again and not feel broken.”
R. Huston
“I’ve been a client of Melissa’s for years. I have been dealing with pain and structural misalignments along with other health issues. I’ve seen many doctors and didn’t like that their only option for me was one prescription after another. No one was interested in restoring my health. When I came to Full Circle I found that Melissa listened to me, she asked important questions and truly cared about helping me restore my health. She has been invaluable in helping me discover new resources and helpful tools. The body work she does for pain relief has been more helpful to me than massage, acupuncture, trigger point injections and other things I have tried. Melissa has helped me regain my quality of life and I would not hesitate to give her my highest recommendation.”
A. Torres
“I am grateful to have access to the myofascial therapy treatment I receive at Full Circle Wellness. Melissa is very knowledgeable and successful at getting clients out of pain and our bodies functioning properly. She is passionate about her profession and helping her clients. She helps me to lead an active life and continue to do the things I enjoy. It is with confidence that I recommend her services for anyone needing relief from pain and discomfort. “
M. Fitzgerald
"What began as a single referral to Melissa Alverson for a bad hip has become a lifeline for active aging. After years trying chiropractic and acupuncture procedures, Melissa’s healing hands brought me the relief I sought. Melissa impresses me with her capacity to listen, ask probing questions, and creatively explore for root causes of discomfort and motion limitations. Her explanations about the pain, weakness, or tightness provide anatomical details that identify how my body coped with past injuries, often compensating in ways that led to my current problems. I always leave my myofascial treatments with less pain, increased mobility, and simple maintenance exercises to do at home."
S. Roberts
“Melissa Alverson has been helping me manage and live with a chronic pain condition for a few years. I find her to be a skilled professional who is caring, motivated, highly intelligent, energetic and deeply interested in working in partnership with her clients. This has made a difference in working towards solutions. After many years of difficult appointments with western medical doctors I found working with Melissa to be a refreshing and positive experience. I look forward to my treatments in large part due to Melissa's skills as a good listener and a good communicator. She has helped me to become better educated about my health needs, my healing and to take charge of my choices in a complex arena of health care options. I know I can look forward to significant pain relief after a treatment.”
A.R. Torres
“Melissa assisted me in the healing of my injured shoulder. Her expertise and gentleness allowed for the myofascial release work to be as pleasant as possible. She has since helped me with recovery from various sports injuries.”
J. Pentz
“I have been seeing Melissa Alverson for the last 5 years. She is tenacious with discovering the cause of pain or dysfunction in the body and making it better. I have made substantial strides in improving my overall health during this time because of her ability to figure out which muscle groups are not firing appropriately, what might be compensating for something else and fixing it like magic! I appreciate her wholistic approach to wellness and respect her commitment to continuous learning. When Melissa shares a product to aid in healing – I know she has researched it thoroughly, tried in on herself and can recommend it wholeheartedly. She is caring, curious, energetic and thoughtful. As someone who is late to everything, I look forward to my monthly maintenance appointment with Melissa. I hate to say it’s the only thing I am ever on time for, but it’s the truth - I would never miss it!”
D. Hunt
Melissa has helped me so much with my chronic pain issues. She knows more about the musculoskeletal system than anyone I know, and continuously updates her knowledge base with additional training and certifications. Her treatment is always provided in a kind and caring manner, and she supplements the treatment with home exercises which help accelerate the healing process. As a result of seeing her I have achieved an 80% improvement in my pain. I would highly recommend her to anyone suffering from acute or chronic pain!
