Nancy Crooks, Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist, has been practicing and studying bodywork and anatomy for over 25 years, and continues to study the complex interrelationships within the human body to bring the most effective means of improving health naturally to the Triad area. Her practice, HandSpring Bodywork, was founded in 1991. Nancy’s search for the most effective means of helping people get their lives back has lead her to Mechanical Link, an osteopathic method developed in France, and she is one of fewer than twenty therapists and doctors in the US who specialize in ML. Mechanical Link is a very gentle but powerful approach that addresses many problems simultaneously through the connective tissue system.
