Massage by Megan LMT, Springfield

Everyone knows pain, but few understand it like Megan Crookshanks. A severe car accident caused fractures in her wrist and spine and led to three years of physical therapy in order to effectively restore function and motion. Massage and structural treatments were key in her lengthy recovery process. Afterward, she was inspired to forward her healing experience to others in need, whether they're seeking relief from day-to-day stress or a debilitating injury. In addition to training at the Professional Massage Training Center, Megan is also a licensed therapist and a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. During her sessions—which take place within Essential Yoga—Megan massages feet with acupressure techniques, dissembles tension with Swedish massage and myofascial release and leads clients in soothing breathing patterns. When she isn't kneading sinews or dissolving gummy worms in 2-liter bottles of Fresca, Megan also practices Reiki, a technique that bolsters healing and optimizes the body's energy pathways.
