Every new year brings surprises. For MaxFit, that means welcoming the newest addition to our team. If you’re a soccer fan, you may know Melissa Welcome Melissa Tancredi!Tancredi from cheering for our national women team during many games. Since 2004 when she joined the national team as a professional soccer player and until recently when she decided to hang off her hat in favour of new adventures, Melissa was immersed in the world of soccer.

What first attracted Melissa to the sport was the fact that she loves being part of a team. Which is why being a part of the MaxFit team seems to be the right direction. ‘I like the philosophy MaxFit is based on, and their view on integration,’ she says. Indeed, that is something MaxFit is proud of and has been incorporating into treatment plans and strategies for years.  Melissa foresees lots of learning ahead. ‘I am happy to be working alongside Dr. Kelsick whose long-time expertise and background I admire very much.’

Melissa joins the team as a chiropractor (she graduated in 2014) and you will be able to find her in the clinic two days a week. Part of her work will include the aquaciser, as she will be helping clients during their rehabilitation process.

Why chiropractic care you may ask. One of the reasons is that by being a professional athlete she encountered the discipline often enough to realize that she likes it. ‘I like the hands-on approach, and the approach to wellness through it,’ Melissa says. ‘It fits my lifestyle,’ she adds, and that mostly explains the focus on chiropractic care, compared to a medical career which Melissa considered in the beginning.

Originally from Ontario, Melissa relocated to Vancouver, one of her most favourite destination. ‘I love Vancouver, national team training camps were based here.’ In other words, she had a good chance to develop a love for it, not that it was a difficult task.

Though retired from professional soccer, Melissa’s sports adventures are not done. ‘I love volleyball, that will be my next sport, and also winter sports, snowboarding in particular.’ With beaches and mountains, one could say Vancouver is the place to be for Melissa.

Welcome, Melissa Tancredi!

What our clients are saying
  • "‘I've been a patient of Dr. Kelsick for the past 10 years, and Dr. Rite for the past 4, and the two are truly amazing at what they do! Although their titles are Chiropractors, they both have such a wide base of knowledge and understanding of the body, that I often feel as if our sessions are a combination of chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and occasionally even nutrition. As such, when I see them, I know I am being taken care off. As an athlete, and simply an injury prone individual, they have both truly made a difference in how my body functions. I definitely recommend =).’ "
    Sabrina Nettey
  • "‘Dr. Kelsick and his team are truly amazing. They’ve been putting me back together and keeping me moving for more than 15 years and now take care of my whole extended family, from my 86-year-old mom to my teenage daughters. Dr. Kelsick goes the extra mile to understand exactly what is going on with your body in order to provide the very best solutions. No problem is too complex or challenging. Think Dr. House with a far better bedside manner!’ "
    Peggi Peacock
  • "‘As an athlete my goal is to have a fit and healthy body, and Maxfit Movement Institute helps me maintain this goal. The team of Doctors are truly gifted, and their positive outlook on life is amazing. Thank you for making a difference in my life.’"
    L Murphy
  • "‘The difference with the staff at MaxFit, especially Randy and Wilbour: they take the time to assess and determine the source of your aches or pains. Not only do they treat whatever it is, they explain how to avoid it happening again. I have tried many physio-therapists but none of them come close to MaxFit. Highly recommended. ‘"
