Barbara Savage, early in her massage career, realized the importance of independent practitioners as opposed to employees. Independence as a therapist gives you the freedom to realize and grow your massage career in a multitude of directions, and that with an alliance of others, that growth is unlimited. Barbara began Synergy in the spring of 1994 in downtown Murfreesboro. Synergy is an alliance. It means to work together as one, and that is what we do.
