April is OT Month and we think our OT is pretty neat!
Melissa has been such an asset to LCHS Rehab since joining the team in February of 2025. She is an experienced clinician who excels in her field. Specifically, Melissa is trained in Fascial Counterstrain, a treatment designed to release “trapped inflammation” within the body’s cells. This hands-on technique resets the muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatic system to improve their function and eliminate pain caused by chronic inflammation. Melissa can treat a variety of conditions with Fascial Counterstrain including, but not limited to, musculoskeletal pain, chronic edema, chronic fatigue, digestive disturbances, neuropathies, migraine and non-migraine headaches, tachycardia, peripheral arterial disease, balance disorders, tinnitus, and systemic conditions like fibromyalgia. Fascial Counterstrain is one of the many treatment strategies Melissa can provide to patients here at LCHS.
Occupational Therapists are essential to the rehab team and to patient care. Melissa treats infants through geriatric-aged patients with treatment directed toward bathing, dressing, eating, hand trauma, upper extremity function, fine motor skills, play, sensory processing, visual motor function, home management, and MUCH more!
Happy OT Month Melissa!
