Welcome to Local First Springfield, Springfield Therapeutics! 🙌

We are thrilled to welcome Springfield Therapeutics to the Local First Springfield family!

Founded right here in Springfield by licensed massage therapist Vincent Reed, Springfield Therapeutics is the city's premier therapeutic massage and bodywork center. Vincent treats the body like a puzzle, pinpointing the root cause of the issue instead of just chasing the symptom. Whether you are dealing with migraines, TMJ, tight neck and shoulders, or you just need to reset and recharge, this is the place.

A few of the modalities Vincent offers:

✅ Therapeutic and deep tissue massage
✅ Myofascial release and cupping
✅ Lymphatic drainage
✅ Prenatal and relaxation massage
✅ Relief for headaches, TMJ, and post-op recovery

When you choose Springfield Therapeutics, you are not just investing in your body, you are supporting a local business owner who is invested in this community. That is exactly what Local First Springfield is all about.
