Taum Sayers
Taum began his 40+ year journey with Corrective Massage shortly after moving to Squaw Valley in 1976. The foundation of this approach started in 1979 with his apprenticeship with Lauren Berry, PT and Structural Engineer. This path has seen him invited to work with the US Ski team, the SF 49ers, and many professional runners and cyclists. Taum recognizes that the body is innately programmed to self-heal naturally when soft tissue relationships are balanced. His goal is to reduce the imbalances that interfere with that uniquely amazing ability. Taum is an educator and enjoys teaching and sharing this approach as well.
