I recently moved to the area and needed some relief to my IT Band before an upcoming race. Sam was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. At the end of my session I walked around the table and already felt better. Sam also took the time to explain/demonstrate different stretches to do in the future. I would highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Sam. I went for an orthopedic massage to help with chronic neck and shoulder tightness. He was extremely thorough and informative. Before starting, he did a full assessment of which muscles were painful and restricted. Ive never before experienced a massage that was so collaborative - he incorporated my feedback the entire time. When he was done, the problem areas felt completely relaxed. He sent me home with stretches to help. Ill definitely be going back again.

Sam is the best LMT around! I went on a 4 day ruck march that left my body very sore and aching for days. I went to see Sam and his treatment had me back on my feet in no time. My muscles where relaxed and recharged. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a great massage therapist.

I’ve been seeing Sam since April of this year for ongoing neck issues. I can’t say enough positive things about him. His method of working with you and not just “on” you is really beneficial. It leaves you able to take knowledge home with you to help when you aren’t with him. Add to that his great “massage side” manner and you have a winning combination.

The recent retirement of my former massage therapist left me high and dry. I tried several places that were recommended and had pleasant but superficial results. I recently found Sam Farnsworth and I believe I have a keeper. First visit was more exploratory, learning for both of us. I look forward to much more! Sometimes light relaxation is all I need...sometime some deep muscle work. He can do both. PS My chiropractor recommended Sam...the Doctor is a cross fit trainer and enjoys several other martial arts.

My wife and I have been getting massages for several years for the purpose of general recovery from old injuries and to help with recovery from active lives. Prior to Sam, our massages were mostly deep tissue. When we first came to Sam, it was a surprising change as his style is much more subtle. As weve continued to work with Sam, the benefits have been far more profound than we ever could have imagined. We unequivocally endorse Sam as a skilled, attentive, and effective massage therapist who has helped to heal old trauma.

Sam Farnsworth is the real deal. Hes a savior. He has a huge wealth of experience in solving stubborn sports-related issues. I have a recurring shoulder problem that causes me both limited mobility and pain. Sam is like a skilled mechanic, tuning up my shoulder so that I can move my right arm without pain. I feel comfortable referring friends to Sam, and have been happy with his ability to minimize risk during pandemic visits. I highly suggest Sam.

Sam is a gifted therapist. I have had chronic hip and shoulder issues on my right side and under his guided hands I have found some release. Its unlike most massage I have received in the past -- focused on the problem areas and using soft touch and body manipulation to release and encourage new patterns of movement -- and very effective. Sam is also a delightful person and has been extremely conscientious during the pandemic.

I started seeing Sam Farnsworth, he was recommended by a mutual friend, for a shoulder pain and after 4 sessions I have felt massive improvement!! He’s very nice and knowledgeable. Listens to your description of the tight spots / pain points and works the entire muscle groups. I have left every session feeling better and have found the relief lasting longer after each visit, he also gives great at home pointers and exercises you can do in order to keep making progress. Very responsive and a great communicator. Comfortable treatment space and COVID responsible.

Sam is an exceptional massage therapist! As a healthcare practitioner, I really appreciate how deeply he understand the bodys anatomy and how thoughtfully he listens to what is going on and individualizes the session. He usually follows up with some home practice/exercises that you can do which has been so helpful. Hes professional, knowledgeable, clearly really enjoys what he does... really cannot recommend him enough!

Sam, so happy I came into see you...I didn’t expect such a response to sports massage! Kind of limped in three days before my distance running event and wasn’t sure I could do it. Felt much better after the session and was able to run with confidence. I look forward to our next appointment and to making a visit to your practice a regular feature for my recovery.

Sam is an excellent massage therapist. He listens well and adjust his massage techniques to insure the right areas are focused on and the level of intensity is correct. I have seen him for shoulder, neck, and upper back issues and he has reduced my pain and improved my function. He also has given me good advice on how to stretch and/or strengthen muscles as well as what to avoid while healing from an injury. I have recommended him to a number of friends for these reasons.

Sam has been fantastic helping me stay healthy while laid up with a leg injury, and managing shoulder discomfort due to intense use. He is staying on top of the COVID safety processes. Sam is professional and communicates well.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Sam does wonderful work with attention to detail. He takes the time to listen and customize each treatment for the utmost benefit of the client. His office is very clean and sanitary as he has taken all necessary precautions to ensure client safety. His extensive knowledge in sports massage further boosts his expertise and treatment ability. I left feeling great and looking forward to my next massage!

Sam Farnsworth is an exceptionally skilled therapist, who takes the time to pay close attention to the individual issues and physical considerations of his clients. As an athlete himself, Sam is particularly sensitive to the needs of both serious athletes and weekend warriors alike. As an avid equestrian, I have benefitted tremendously by regular massage, and appreciate Sams excellent technique, deep knowledge base, and sensitive approach to the unique needs of his clients.

I have been receiving massages for years and Sam really stands out with his attention to detail. Years past I have left the table feeling like I just got beat up. Sam makes sure to ask questions and ease into the treatment. I have been struggling with lower back pain and recently Sam did some body work which was amazing and delivered unbelievable results. I highly recommend runners, weekend warriors, and other active people to visit Sam in Concord for an awesome treatment session.

Lower back pain on the mountain bike as a result of long hours in the saddle and hilly rides almost sidelined me this year in the months leading up to the VT50. I tried the usual stretches and self-release but nothing was working this time so I turned to Sam for help. Thanks to Sam’s knowledge of my sport paired with his own experiences as an endurance athlete he was able to find the locked up QL, a muscle I was unfamiliar with and I was able to successfully log another VT50 without any lower back pain. For any competitive age groupers looking for an edge I highly recommend Sam!

Sam is very knowledgeable and great at communicating with you throughout the massage to allow you to work with him as well as be aware of what and why he is working on certain areas. He listens to you and is very personable!

I have been seeing Sam about once a month since he opened his practice. As I am a runner and a cyclist, Sam has helped to keep me moving, which is very important to both my physical and mental health. Plus, as Sam is also a runner (IM triathlete turned ultra-runner) he is very knowledgeable and helps not only any current aches and pains during my visit, but provides tips and advice on things I can work on at home between visits. I can honestly say after every visit I always feel much better!I also feel very comfortable still coming to see Sam while we continue to practice social distancing and taking other precautionary steps during the COVID-19 pandemic. I rarely see anyone else in the building and I know Sam is taking the proper steps to ensure we both remain safe.

Sam is one of those LMT’s that goes the extra step for you. He’s thorough, understands functional movement and how to get you to your best. You can tell he knows his stuff by how great you feel after the massage. Looking forward to more.

Review №24

I went to see Sam to help resolve continuing stiffness in my replaced hip. He treated that hip but also worked the joints above and below and then shifted to the other hip to help maintain symmetry and balance within my body. I was not expecting his holistic approach. Sam did an excellent and thorough work. As my other hip trends toward replacement, I look forward to working with Sam to keep me balanced and symmetrical.

Review №25

I highly recommend Sam. He tailored sessions to keep me in shape for training and racing triathlon, gravel and cyclocross (during non COVID times). You can be sure Sam will find that persistent knot providing relief. Sam is a skilled professional who partners with you and advises you on how to stay healthy and active.

I own Dive Pilates in Concord, MA, where I offer private sessions in the classical Pilates method. I go to Sam once a month to get a tune-up, where he works on areas in my body that need attention. I also refer my clients to him when I see that they need something very specific, for example limited mobility in the shoulders or persistent tightness in one area of the body that Pilates can fix, but at a slower rate than a visit to Sam can do. Rest assured, I would not recommend Sam to my clients if he wasnt the best sports massage professional in the area.

Sam Farnsworth LMT is professional, knowledgeable, patient, genuinely caring and all around, wonderful. After searching online for a local massage therapist I found Sam and booked an appointment for my 85 year old aunt (who had never had a massage before and suffers from lumbar scoliosis). Sam took the time prior to the appointment to understand her specific needs, during the appointment worked with her to identify the underlying causes of her muscle pain, explained what he was going to do and why he was doing it and after the appointment clearly outlined expectations and next steps without being pushy in any way. She hasnt felt this great in years, her pain is significantly diminished, she is adding massage to her monthly routine - and Sam is to thank.
