Dr. Janet Travell
The founder of trigger point theory is Dr. Janet Travell, who coined the term "trigger point" in 1942. She was a pioneer in the field of myofascial pain and dysfunction, co-authoring the seminal work "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual" with Dr. David Simons. Dr. Travell's contributions have significantly advanced the understanding and treatment of muscle pain, making her a key figure in modern pain management.

Trigger point therapy is one of my primary tools in my bodywork toolbox. Understanding how the fascia moves and clings is of great benefit. Many times, simple fascial binding is the explanation for pain or a reduced range of motion. No pills needed nothing structurally wrong just soothing touch is all that is needed.

Keep Your Crew on the Road—Not on the Sidelines

Dear sprigfield construction companies!

Your teams keep Springfield moving—literally. With road projects expanding in 2025, crew fatigue, overuse injuries, and downtime are expected to rise.

We’d like to propose a solution that pays off: on-site or local massage therapy for your labor crews.

Why it matters:

The average cost of a lost workday for a road crew laborer (including overtime, insurance, and project delays) is estimated at $380–$450/day.

One 1-hour massage treatment ($80) has been shown to reduce musculoskeletal complaints by up to 60%, improving morale, mobility, and retention.

ROI: Just one saved day per crew member offsets 4–5 massage sessions.

While I specialize in deep relaxation i am qualified for therapeutic massage as well. Your bodie is the only one you will ever get. Keep it in good maintenance or it will cost you more.
