"Melissa did exceptional work in treating my injured hand and working to see what made the greatest impact on getting me healthier sooner. Being in the clinic, it is always a warm, welcoming atmosphere and somewhere you want to go for treatment, to hear great music and maybe even watch a classic movie in the waiting area."

Also, love that she gives you "homework", so you can take a pro active approach to helping better yourself! You can tell shes not in it for the money, shes in it to help people which is so rare nowadays! I can't say anything bad about her, and could go on and on about how great she is 🤷♀️ "

" Melissa is an exceptional athletic therapist. I’ve had many injuries playing soccer and training. I’ve been to many other therapists for treatment over the years but Melissa has proven to be the best. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and knows how to get you moving again (or get you functioning even better if you already are fairly mobile).
She’s able to your tend injuries in a variety of different ways and will fix you up accordingly. There’s never a dull moment during the treatment sessions. Not only does she treat her patients in a professional manner, but her sessions are always interactive and enjoyable with her happy, fun and caring personality! I would highly recommend going to Melissa as your AT. "

" Melissa is hands down probably the best AT and the most empathetic one I have ever met in my 5 years in Winnipeg. A single session with her goes a long way in making you feel better. I had a terrible car accident and have been treating with Mel for over 6 months, on and off.
Yes, the homework that she gives you can be exhausting (albeit not much at all) and you may feel sore for a day or two, but trust me when I say this from personal experience, she is your best bet when it comes to making yourself feel better, physically and mentally. She is something else entirely. I owe a lot to her and I'm still undergoing treatment, but you just have to go in and meet with her, talk to her, have a session to know what I'm talking about.
She has literally turned my life around. Melissa has been actively treating several parts of my body simultaneously, has always explained everything in detail is just an awesome as a person to know.
You owe it to yourself to pay her a visit if your body is bothering you in any way, she WILL fix you. Expect short term, one-two day soreness but it is just so worth it. You come out of treatment feeling like a human, full of life at the end of it all.
Melissa, I'm a big fan.
Oh and her cute little personal touches around the office lift your mood up and hey, it's kids friendly! You just can't go wrong with this place! "

She really knows what to do for the problem you have. She works me hard, but I feel so much better when I leave there, it is worth it. She is very professional, very courteous and understanding. She also shows you what kind of exercises you can do at home to get better.
The office atmosphere is very relaxing, and super clean! I am so fortunate and thankful to have found her as I have never seen an athletic therapist and really wasn't sure if it would help me and it sure has. Thank you Melissa and keep up the good work!"

"Good afternoon,
My name is Djennifer and last week I was in an accident (car head on accident on Taylor Avenue). I believe a woman named Melissa came to see what had happened and provided me with a ton of information in regards to the pain I was having from the accident. She comforted me since I was in a panic and had my son in the car. I just want to tell her thank you and I appreciate her help and gives me belief that there are caring people still on this world.Thanks"

"Today, my mom and I went to a TD bank branch in Winnipeg. Mom is using crutches because of problems she is having with her heel. As she stepped into the bank, she slipped on some wetness from melted snow and put her sore foot down hard to stop herself from falling. Of course, this hurt a lot and she cried out.
A woman came over and introduced herself as an athletic therapist and offered to help. She noticed that Mom's crutches were not set at the right height (thanks Misericordia urgent care). And offered to help set them up right. She started pulling them apart on the spot in the bank and getting them all set up. When she couldn't get one of the bolts out to adjust the handle, she got one of the bank staff to go get a hammer.
Then, once they were all adjusted, she described some therapies that mom could try to resolve the problems with her heel and gave her a lesson in using the crutches properly so maybe she won't slip on them as easily.
The woman took lots of time to patiently explain everything to mom. The staff at the bank were very friendly and didn't mind at all that we were having an informal clinic in their lobby.
Big thanks to Melissa Deonaraine, our very helpful athletic therapist and to Brendan Benoit, the TD Bank staff who helped us hammer that bolt out."

Then, once they were all adjusted, she described some therapies that mom could try to resolve the problems with her heel and gave her a lesson in using the crutches properly so maybe she won't slip on them as easily.
The woman took lots of time to patiently explain everything to mom. The staff at the bank were very friendly and didn't mind at all that we were having an informal clinic in their lobby.
Big thanks to Melissa Deonaraine, our very helpful athletic therapist and to Brendan Benoit, the TD Bank staff who helped us hammer that bolt out."

"With her extensive knowledge and experience, Melissa is able to provide extremely effective treatment, in a professional, caring manner. After receiving treatments and following her exercise prescriptions, I have recovered from my injuries, and this has allowed me to return to my full activities. I would certainly recommend Academy Athletic Therapy!"

"I can't thank her enough how the pain subside after just my first session with her for being in pain for 18 days after a car accident. I highly recommend Melissa! She's very professional and thorough with her examination before starting the therapy. She will assess everything that will help you recover with your injury. Melissa is doing great!"
