Improve and Perform was founded by Dr. Brian Melancon, PT, DPT, a doctor of physical therapy and former professional mixed martial artist who competed at the highest level in the UFC. Throughout his athletic career, Brian overcame numerous injuries in one of the world’s most physically demanding sports, all while maintaining his practice as a physical therapist.
In recent years, some of those old injuries began resurfacing, inspiring Brian to develop a solution for effective pain relief at home. This led to the creation of the BodyTrac System, a revolutionary tool designed to provide targeted relief and improve overall well-being. After experiencing its success firsthand, Brian is now making this innovative product available to help others on their journey to recovery and performance.

How Improve & Perform and the BodyTrac System Were Born
​
Brian originally developed the BodyTrac system to treat himself! He has a bulging disc at L5-S1 that flared up resulting in severe radicular pain and numbness in his lower legs. After receiving an MRI confirming the problem, it was determined that although surgery was not yet needed, he would need Physical Therapy. He created a device that brought the clinic home and provided lumbar traction in the comfort of his own bed. He combined lumbar traction with specifically targeted centralization and stabilization exercises to successfully treat his condition! He continued to perfect the device and added on Cervical and Knee traction solutions to produce the comprehensive BodyTrac System. View each configuration to see how it can help you!
