About Valence Massage and Physical Therapy
The word Valence means: "The capacity of one person to affect another in some special way, as by facilitation of a function or activity."
Dr. Jon Tallerico has worked as a massage therapist in Springfield, MO since 2008. He started Valence Massage in 2012 as a solo practice and has stayed fiercely independent and cash-based as a physical therapist.
He has a passion for education and holds a Doctorate of Physical Therapy as well as a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Movement Science from Missouri State University. He is a licensed physical therapist, licensed massage therapist, certified Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), a certified Precision Neuromuscular Therapist, and maintains board certification in bodywork through the NCBTMB.
His treatment philosophy is evidence based and revolves around listening to and working with his patients to reach their individual goals. He believes in the value of improving movement, exercise, and skilled hands-on therapy within a interactive environment. He is experienced in prenatal and postnatal massage, treatment of sports and vocational injuries, evidence-based physical therapy, massage therapy, and science.

When not pursuing his interests in science, health, and well-being, Jon loves to cook, watch old movies, bake sour dough, and spoil his daughter (and wife) whenever possible.
