KENDRA L. MELSON, Founder/President & Director of Education - Taking her experience of over a decade teaching at both core and continuing education levels, as well as maintaining a thriving private practice, Kendra soon reached her maximum case load in 2009. Rather than limit her impact to the select number of patients she could treat each day, Kendra founded KineticWise Sports and Medical Massage in order to share her knowledge of wellness, medical and sports therapy massage. As clinic founder and Director of Education, Kendra is also the developer of our advanced neuromuscular rehabilitation (NMR) technique known as the PEP™ Method. Kendra personally oversees hours of hands-on training to her staff of hand-picked practitioners.
