About

Nancy L. Shaw, Director - Chronic Pain Muscle Therapist

Chronic pain is epidemic in this country because treatment remains the same with little change in the result of eliminating pain. Dr. Janet Travell, Pres. Kennedy's physician pioneered a protocol that emphasized
no muscle injury, abuse, overuse, etc. as the cause of muscle pain. She taught muscles have simply been TAUGHT to FUNCTION INCORRECTLY: SHORT,TIGHT. When they are tight, you change how you use the muscles in order to be comfortable. These changes reinforce the muscles to stay tight so they develop a MUSCLE MEMORY to stay that way. Eventually, the tightness causes weakness, muscle fatigue, and pain.
Teach the muscles a incorrect golf swing and you have a bad gold game. Change what you teach the muscles in performing a golf swing, practice the changes frequently until they become automatic and you can have a good golf game.
Muscles will do whatever you teach them to do. Identify what you are doing to keep them short, teach them to be longer with new ways of daily use, stretch and watch your pain go away.
It really is simple. Check out the only book on the market for this which is based on the principle taught by Dr. Travell: "SIMPLE CHANGES TO END CHRONIC PAIN" by Nancy Lee Shaw
You will be amazed at the change in your life - it can be pain-free!

Me and my family (5 kids) have been seeing Nancy for muscle issues, accidents, etc. for many many years. Nobody has helped me and my wife and all my kids more. Nancy is a miracle worker. I am 72 and currently ranked #7 all-time fastest 70-74 y.o. in the 200m Fly in the USA. Nancy is my secret weapon. For years, I've seen her before every swim meet. After seeing her, I can reach several inches further, and do so effortlessly. I've sent friends to her and again, she has done wonders for them. I cannot imagine anyone knowing Janet Travell's book and mindset and teachings better, and how to meticulously apply them.
