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 in 2012 to practice his passion for using hands-on therapy to reduce suffering. He is a licensed physical therapist and massage therapist in Missouri with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Movement Science from Missouri State University. He is a certified Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), a certified Precision Neuromuscular Therapist, and maintains board certification through the NCBTMB. He is skilled and experienced in prenatal and postnatal massage, treatment of sports and vocational injuries, and modern methods of physical therapy, massage therapy, and pain science.  

 

When not pursuing his interests in science, health, and well-being, he is a gardener, reader, and computer geek.

I offer personalized sessions using exercise science, massage therapy, physical therapy, and patient-centered care to treat various conditions.
