Founder Mellissa StoneRegistered Massage Therapist · The vision behind StoneRMT
The story behind the clinicHer recovery. Her values.
Her recovery. Her values.
The heart of StoneRMT.
Two experiences shaped the clinic Mellissa wanted to build: recovering from a serious injury, and knowing how deeply the way we treat people matters.
Recovery shaped her approach to care.
A cliff-diving accident in Greece nearly left Mellissa paralyzed from the neck down. Movement, massage, and strengthening became part of her recovery—and helped shape her belief in care that supports function, confidence, and a return to the things that matter.
Respect shaped the workplace she envisioned.
Early in her career, Mellissa experienced and witnessed poor treatment in clinics where she worked. She wanted StoneRMT to be a safe space where every employee and practitioner has a voice, and everyone is treated with equal respect.
A clinic where people feel heard—in the treatment room and around the team table.

Each practitioner brings their own training, experience, personality, and approach. We give them the autonomy to shine and a voice in the direction of our clinic.
Through thoughtful hiring, regular meetings, and roundtable conversations, Mellissa keeps us connected to a shared standard: respectful care, purposeful treatment, and meaningful results. When care involves more than one practitioner, we collaborate with your consent.

The patient experienceYou bring your goals.
You bring your goals.
We make room to listen.
Whether you are navigating pain, recovering from an injury, or looking for practical wellness support, your experience starts with a conversation about you.
01 / UNDERSTAND
Start with your real life.
Time to get to know you—and for you to get to know us.
- Free 15-minute consultations. Share what you are going through, ask questions, and learn about our approach before choosing a practitioner or service. We encourage you to use this time, and you can book more than one consultation.
- A longer first visit. We usually recommend 60–75 minutes for an initial treatment appointment, depending on the service, so there is time for your history, assessment, questions, and care.
- Prepared before you arrive. Our online intake and visit tools help you share important information and help your practitioner prepare for your appointment.
- Practical support. Real conversations. We offer direct billing where eligible, convenient online tools, and real people to help with questions that technology cannot answer.
- Room to find the right fit. If you did not get the results you hoped for with one practitioner, please tell us. We can help you explore another approach or practitioner at StoneRMT. Your feedback is welcome.
02 / PLAN
Know your next step.
A plan you understand, with room to learn and adjust together.
- Our 3 Treatment Challenge. The first visit helps us understand you and how your body responds to care. Follow-up visits give us time to review that response, make changes, and assess progress together. The challenge is a commitment to thoughtful follow-through; individual needs and results vary.
- Prompt progress, thoughtful pacing. We aim for meaningful results as promptly as appropriate. A new injury and a longstanding concern can need different starting points and timeframes. We explain what we are working toward and why.
- Education along the way. We discuss the treatment plan and may recommend homecare to support your goals between visits. You should understand how each part of the plan fits together.
- The right care as your needs change. We discuss when another service or practitioner could support your plan—within StoneRMT or through a referral to another clinic. Finding a better fit is a positive next step.
- A plan that moves forward. As goals are reached, we discuss spacing out visits, moving to maintenance when appropriate, or concluding the plan. We want care to have a clear purpose.
03 / REVIEW
Keep progress in view.
Your experience helps us shape what happens next.
- Information you can take home. We use patient treatment summaries and progress reports, where appropriate, to help you understand your care, recommendations, and next steps.
- Feedback that informs follow-up. Post-treatment surveys help us understand your response so we can make adjustments to your next appointment or treatment plan.
- Space for honest feedback. We offer opportunities to share your experience of treatments, staff, and the clinic. We want to hear what is helping and what could be better.
- People supporting your plan. We create and follow up on treatment plans, with patient-care specialists supporting our practitioners where available.
- Care in the details. Our co-op students help keep the clinic clean, stocked, and our systems up to date—supporting the team so practitioners can focus their time on you.
Good care includes knowing when to look beyond our walls. When your needs call for care beyond StoneRMT, we draw on a trusted community of practitioners and clinics to help you find the right support.
