Sam Farnsworth LMT Sports & Orthopedic Massage

Sam Farnsworth is a gifted bodyworker, who knows how to keep active people doing what they love best without pain and unnecessary injury. I am a fairly serious athlete, who played crazy amounts of tennis every day for twenty years before taking up riding and jumping horses—as many as three a day—in my mid-40s. I discovered the power of regular, effective bodywork when I started riding, because it kept my body fluid and graceful and strong in the saddle. Twenty years later, I am still riding and jumping horses, walking my three dogs every day, and moving 20,000 steps as I do. Sam is a critical part of my very active life, ironing out knotted muscles and other “traffic jams” in my fascia and muscular-skeletal system each week during an hour-long session. He is great listener and a super

Sam is an exceptionally skilled and compassionate professional. His deep knowledge and generosity are evident in every session. His techniques have brought me significant relief, where countless other treatments have fallen short. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to find muscular relief and are seeking a kind and gentle practitioner who really cares.

I'm pretty confident Sam is a magician! I had persistent pain in my hip for well over a year and had seen several clinicians, from PTs to chiropractors to orthopedists... none were able to provide me any relief. It impacted my gait and movement so much that my other hip and other parts of my body started to hurt as well. Walking became difficult and I was in constant pain. After just two visits with Sam, the pain is completely gone. I now see him every 4-6 weeks to work on other general back/neck/shoulder ailments from every day life as an office desk dweller. Every visit, he quickly identifies the "sticky" spots and works through them with ease. It doesn't hurt that he has fantastic taste in music as well! I recommend everyone I know to see Sam, and will continue to see him regularly for

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. I've 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. I'll definitely be going back again.

Sam came highly recommended by my chiropractor, and he did not disappoint! I had been dealing with some IT band issues related to running, and he expertly targeted those muscles and got me back out on the road. He is incredibly thorough and thoughtful, providing great advice and guidance for continuing to work through the issue (and avoid it altogether) between appointments. And for those of us who are still cautious about covid, his protocols make the whole experience comfortable and safe. Five well-deserved stars!
