Thomas Wells, has been helping me with my knee and back issues that have been ongoing for many years, and after only seeing Thomas twice I could immediately feel a lot better. He is very knowledgeable and immediately finds and deals with the issue, and is honest with whether he can or cannot help you.

Thomas is the best! He is so knowledge. He provides excellent service. I went to see him for a knee problem I was having. He literally turned back the clock on my knees. I didn’t know they could feel that good. I highly recommend Thomas!

Just finished an online remote session. Since my injury a year and half ago, I’ve had a couple dozen hands on sessions with other practicioners (PTs, dry needling, massage therapy, chiropractic and ostepathic). This online session, guided by a great assessment and instructions on how to work on myself, is by far the BEST I’ve felt in over a year and half. Thank you!

Thomas has done more for me in the past 2 months than my many years of doctor visits to alleviate the constant muscle pain and spasms in my back. He is highly skilled, and I am amazed at how much better I feel after every session. He has been a life changer for me.

Thomas is the most effective body workers I have ever utilized. He is able to speed healing, adjust dysfunctional patterns, and produce overall ease in my structure. I have been seeing him for 15 years. As I age, regular sessions support a healthy, active, pain free lifestyle. Thomas is very professional and has a lovely office space, conveniently located.

I have attending several different workshop with Thomas as the lead instructor. Watching this man eye up a client and begin figuring out your movement issues is just pure genius. He is, in my humble opinion, the Mt. Everest of bodyworkers.

One of the world’s top therapists. I have been incredibly fortunate to expand my clinical education through Thomas’ teaching. If there was one therapist I wish I lived around the corner from, it would be this man.

FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much do sessions cost?
Regular sessions are $200 each, with first visits discounted to $125. Laser-only sessions and taping-only sessions are $50. Sessions are pay-as-you-go. There are no session packages.
Do you accept insurance?
I don’t accept insurance directly, though I will happily provide you with an invoice in the style of your choosing for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. My work is generally accepted by health savings accounts and many health insurance carriers who cover massage therapy (performed by a massage therapist). Sometimes a prescription from a physician is required to get massage therapy covered by insurance.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are about 45 minutes long. That is to say I generally stop making corrections at around the 45 minute mark, but often there are still exercises/stretches to go over, scheduling to do, etc. This applies to both regular and first appointments. Online appointments are about 50 minutes. Laser-only or taping-only appointments are about 20 minutes long. Those can’t be scheduled online (you have do go through me directly) and I generally only schedule them at the beginning and end of my work day (before 8am, after 5pm).
What is your cancelation policy?
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time, or simply fail to show up to your appointment, that session must be paid for in full. Barring other arrangements being made, your credit card on file will be charged.
How long do the results usually last?
It depends. An unsatisfying answer, I know, but it depends on what led to your issue in the first place.
If it is of acute origin, that is, it was caused by an isolated incident or by a stress (either physical or psychological) that is no longer a factor, then results should last indefinitely. After all, the involved patterns will have been cleared.
However, if your issue is due to a repetitive stress such as sitting in front of a computer all day, maintaining results will require diligent effort on the part of the client. That being said, results are generally permanent.
How long before I start seeing results?
For all modalities, progress is usually noticeable after the very first visit, though for some individuals, it can take as many as three visits to notice significant results.
Generally speaking, the older the issue, the longer it will take to resolve. Some issues simply take time. As I often tell my clients, it took you a while to get your body like this, expect it to take a while to get it back to normal.
