Tom Church: After more than 20 years as a massage therapist, Tom is still growing in his skills and knowledge. Much of his career has been focused on athletes of all levels from the beginner to the Olympian. The techniques he has learned through his extensive work with athletes provide skills and resources that are part of the toolbox he opens at the beginning of the session and are used as the need arrives.

Tom has always grounded his sessions in understanding the context of what brings you in for treatments; knowing that we don’t actually heal your aches, pains, and injuries, but help you to heal; and continuing to stay up to date on sports science and therapy knowledge.

As a sports massage therapist, Tom is a team member of the NSAF Sports Medicine Team, has worked many events including the USATF Indoor Track & Field Championships with the medical team, Boston Marathon, the Blackburn Challenge (rowing and paddling), the team therapist for Harvard Swimming and Diving, Harvard Squash, Harvard Softball, Harvard Water Polo, and Boston College Track & Field and Cross Country. He worked for many with Ivy League teams at the Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships and the lead therapist for the New England Masters Swimming Championships.

Tom is also a running coach focusing on endurance athletes running track, roads and trails. Is a Performance Therapist for those that want to bring their therapist to their training sessions. And does form analysis and mobility assessments outside of the treatment room.

Tom has a background in running having started as a 10 year old with track and the roads, moving to cross country in college, then adding the trails after college. He is now mostly retired with dreams of finding time in his schedule to train seriously again. Maybe in retirement.

When Tom isn’t helping you be the best you can be, he can be found learning, reading, spending time with his wife, dog and cat, on the trails, and enjoying a new beer and a nice meal.
