Welcome to The Root of Motion

Rachael Durnell

Specializing in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) and the MATRx process, and as a licensed massage therapist (LMT) also offering manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), I strive to create stability, mobility, and relaxation for my clients. We can improve your well-being by enhancing daily motion quality and preparing your body to perform optimally in your sport-specific and fitness goals.

I have been a certified MAT Specialist in St. Louis since 2007 and a certified massage therapist since 2010. I look forward to supporting you in your motion endeavors and enhancing your life, free of pain or pause.

I am excited to work with you and show you what we can accomplish together!
