Dr. Mellen Jay is a winternational snowboard professional, registered massage therapist, biomechanics educator, and recreational triathlete and has just moved to the Comox Valley.

Fusing technical knowledge (BScH BioMedical Science, Guelph 2004), manual therapy (RMT 2012) and movement-based instruction(CASI Snowboard Instructor 1997, CASI 4) whether on the massage table or on snow, Mellen seeks to elevate performance, address injury and streamline development in all athletes: high-performance athletes, sport for life athletes, and those who may not yet consider themselves athletes.

Expect targeted interactive and instructive massage treatment with special interests in pre-hab and post-event; lower limb and shoulders; and collaborative approaches to improved outcomes for low back, pelvis and hip functionality.

As both practitioner and a lifelong athlete: embracing a body shaped and rebuilt through sport, sports injury, and return to sport- Mellen has found the best outcomes in performance, prevention, and movement as medicine come from a wellness routine that includes massage therapy.
