Meet the Founder – Dan Melita
Dan Melita developed the Melita Method in order to provide people with a full body diagnostic and treatment plan that has it all from diagnosing biomechanical imbalances, treating them using various tools and manual manipulations, and maintaining by way of providing the correct exercises that will help maintain the desired results. After leaving the military where he served as an Army Ranger, Dan worked to put his body back together after various injuries sustained while in the service. The medical skills that he learned from the military gave him a strong foundation to build upon, which turned into a deep desire to learn everything he could about the human body and how to get it to function at its optimal level.
When his time in the military was over, Dan Melita completed both his Bachelors in Kinesiology and his Masters in Exercise Science with an emphasis on Rehabilitation. Having these advanced degrees opened up a whole new world for him in which he started to study functional neurology and various manual therapies, paving the way for things to come.
With an extensive knowledge base, Dan put together his own methodology completely unique to himself. He combined what he knew about biomechanics and functional neurology and found what did and did not work through trial and error. Starting off with the biomechanical foundation of the human body:The foot. The Melita Method breaks down the body on a joint by joint basis determining the structural imbalances that exist all the way up the kinetic chain. Once these mechanical imbalances are determined then functional neurology is brought into play to see if there are higher priority neurological patterns that are contributing to the dysfunction. After all of this information is obtained then treatment begins at the head and works backwards to the foot.
After many years, the Melita Method has worked to help many people with pain they thought would never go away. The amount of times clients state “You are my last resort!” is astounding. The Melita Method is ready to be shared so others can help those in pain and no longer leave clients feeling like they will never get better.
