She is very attentive, will answer all of you questions. I found her extremely helpful with all of my body aches and pains. Super friendly, kind and a warm way about her. If anyone is interested in trying osteopath she is the best option out there for you. R S Melanie is simply the best. She treats me and my whole family with great care and attentiveness. Always on point with treatment and targets areas that need most attention. We also always receive many suggestions to help better my health. Lori-Ann Dennie I was referred to Melanie Alves by a friend due to severe pain on my legs, sciatic pain and back pain. I didn’t even know what Osteopathic therapy looked like but, I was desperate for relief from this pain. I had ONE SESSION with Melanie and my life changed. Prior to seeing her I woke up every day wondering how I was going to get out of bed and walk because my pain was so severe. There were times when my husband had to help me walk to the washroom in the mornings. The following morning after my first session I woke up and I got up and walked with no difficulty!!!!! I couldn’t believe it!!!! Subsequently I’ve continued to wake up with no difficulty walking, no shooting sciatic pain and no debilitating back pain. I went from feeling so defeated and so discouraged about this daily pain to feeling empowered and strong. I have tried it all: physio, chiro, massage therapy, acupuncture but, they did not give me any major relief. I am a diehard Osteo person now. I swear by it. This is my life now; doing what I need to do to be the best version of myself. I am in passionate pursuit of being well, feeling whole and working towards my body functioning properly and being aligned. I will do whatever I need to do for that (including my stretches which are life changing). Thank you so much Melanie for taking the time to listen to me and consult with me in a way that made me know right from the start that you were committed to working with me and put me on the path to enhancing my quality of life! Simone Davis Melanie is personable but also fantastic at her job. She has really helped me regain mobility from debilitating sciatica as well as improve my short term memory. She really listens to your concerns, and will send you home with supportive stretches to help maintain or further improve your mobility. Thank you so much for everything :) Lisa Henry I have been seeing Mel for about 4 years now. She has done absolute wonders for me with my lower back pain, hip pain and neck pain. She is the only person that can relieve my lower back pain and it only takes 30 mins. Mel does a thorough assessment and true care each visit to understand why something doesn't feel right. I wish more people know about Osteopaths! Melanie specifically has not only helped myself but also my husband on numerous occasions. All through gentle stretching to position our bodies back where they need to be. Christian Flook Thank you for making my first treatment a real treat (I’m all about puns sorry). Highly recommended! Mel was very thoughtful and explained everything very well and made me feel super comfortable! See you soon! Cathy Melanie is such a great osteopath. She helps relieve my pain and put me back into alignment. My body has been responding to her adjustments and seems to be improving over time. So grateful for this service and would highly recommend to anyone who needs pain relief. Anita Bradica Melanie is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She was able to identify my issues correctly and provide an effective treatment plan. Highly recommend!
