Thank you, Virginia, for sending me a postcard last year about your mother’s website.
I am not sure how you found me and Prisma Center in order to send your post card, but Thank You for doing so. I had studied various types of TP therapy and your mom’s work was at the heart of it. My major therapy is Osteopathic energy work combined with Qi-Gong (needleless acupuncture) for these many years. I would love to talk with you some time, if possible, if you had the time and inclination.

Love and Health to you and yours!

My name is Amaury Cork and I am a massage therapist. I was taught Trigger Point Therapy when I did my massage course 12 years ago in Sydney, Australia. I use this technique with great success with most of my patients. The work of Dr Janet Travell was a breakthrough for many therapists around the world to help patients in pain. Thank you.

I have the two thick red volumes, and along with Clair Davies’ workbook, I have been able to work through a lot of troubles and am now pain free. Thank you for such a wonderful article. I am considering a career change so I can help people be pain free.

Many thanks,
Eric Cooper

Please help me find a doctor who can help me.
I was perfectly healthy 3 years ago when I got
the H1N1 virus. Thankfully, I was in Boston
and was treated at the Beth Israel Hospital.
I almost didn’t make it. I was unconcious for a month
in ICU then 2 months in rehab and then 3 months
in at home rehab. I completely recovered except
for ICU Neuropathy in both my feet consisting of
daily pain, burning etc in my ankles and the top
of my feet. I’ve tried so many different pills,
exercises, acupuncture etc etc. The only thing that
gives me some relief is hydromorphone. I live in Miami
but will go anywhere to find relief from this nagging
pain. Thank you!

What a brilliant woman and spirit. I have dedicated several of my books (including Pain Free 1-2-3 and From Fatigued to Fantastic! and research studies to her memory as her work laid the foundation for our understanding of metabolic causes and treatments for MPS and Fibromyalgia (and using her principles resulted in the protocol which resulted in our Fibromyalgia patients having a 90% improvement in Quality of Life ; p<.0001 vs placebo). I feel like a child on the shoulders of a giant–with deep appreciation for all she did and gave us

We would not enjoy the success we have today if not for Dr. Travell’s work. She remains at the foundation of our understanding and techniques for relieving pain and restoring posture. I still refer to her books regularly and provide a set to each of my therapists. I speak on behalf of the thousands of clients we have been able to help because of Janet Travell. What a beautiful legacy to be touching the lives of so many in perpetuity. Thank you for inviting me into the more personal side of her life. ~Rebecca Saindon

I first became aquainted with Dr. Travell’s work after she passed away, and I regret not having met her before that. She is with me every day of my working life, a pioneer and a giant of medicine. She looked into the world of pain and out the darkness was able to see the light of treating the most common pain affliction- myofascial musculoskeletal pain. Her understanding of somatic pain, trigger points and the treatment thereof is monumental- and will stand with us for many years to come. I teach and teach, and always with tribute to Dr. Travell. May her memory be blessed.

I was just starting to treat TMJ disorders, headaches and chronic pain when I was first shown Dr Travell’s text. I ordered it the next day and it changed my life and help me drastically improve the lives of hundreds of patients. I only had a couple two times where I spent a day learnig from Dr Travell and they will always be two of the best days of my life.

When I teach her book is one I recommend that every doctor requires in their practices. I will forever be indebted to Dr Travell.

Hello,
When are you coming to Washington, DC? I’m not sure who is in charge now of the lifetime collection of Travell papers at the Gelman Library/The George Washington University, but I can find out so someone can meet you. Please send your email address. Virginia
