Melissa Yu, CMT. CSCS
I graduated from UC Davis in 2014 with a degree in Exercise Biology. I then attended San Francisco School of Massage in 2017 to receive my massage license. Throughout the years, I have worked with a variety of population, including corporate tech workers, doctors, lawyers, weekend warriors, runners, professional/amateur boxers, MMA fighters, professional football players, etc. I am a certified massage therapist and a certified NSCA strength and conditioning specialist specializing in helping people build strength, improve mobility, and overcome injury. I combine both soft tissue mobilization and corrective exercises to help my clients move better. I believe that making each routine functional for clients is key and will help them remain successful in life, no matter what their goals are. I am always finding new ways to better myself and I will easily shift techniques depending on clients’ goals and needs. During my free time I love to box, watch sports, and take high energy group classes around the city. My education, knowledge and experience aid in the evaluation and treatment of my clients.
