Welcome to Stretch Therapy & Wellness!
Fascia-Focused, Functionally-Driven Care for a Body That Feels Free
Hi, I’m Melanie Genest-Dardanou, RMT and founder of Stretch Therapy & Wellness—a boutique clinic nestled in the heart of Toronto’s Little Portugal.
I help individuals move beyond chronic pain, stress, and restriction so they can feel strong, fluid, and at home in their bodies.
With over a decade of experience, I bring together a powerful blend of manual therapy techniques and modalities.
My approach is fascia-focused, nervous system-informed, and tailored to your individual structure and goals—whether you're in chronic pain, recovering from injury, improving posture, enhancing athletic performance, or simply seeking a deeper sense of well-being.
Grounded in both science and intuition, I specialize in uncovering the root cause of dysfunction and creating space for long-lasting change—not just temporary relief.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and invest in your long-term health, I’m here to guide and support you.
Let’s work together to build a body that moves with ease and a life that feels vibrant from the inside out.
