ABOUT

Malleus Performance was created by Dante Martella to make world-class injury rehab and performance coaching accessible to the masses. With extensive experience coaching professional and Olympic athletes, Dante is driven by a fascination with the human body, and more specifically the role that psychology and communication play in creating a bespoke approach to training that is truly tailored to the individual first.

WHY 'MALLEUS'?

The surname 'Martella' is derived from the Italian word 'martello', which translates to 'hammer' in English and 'malleus' in Latin. An ordinary tool on the surface, the hammer is representative of so much more. Ingenuity, creativity, strength, resilience, endurance and making profound positive impacts on health and performance with simple but powerful interventions are central themes at Malleus Performance.
