In her 20s, Sylvia encountered persistent back pain unresponsive to traditional treatments like deep tissue massage and chiropractic care. This discovery led to trigger point therapy, providing not only relief but a long-term solution to her chronic pain. This experience has been pivotal in shaping her professional focus.
