Specialist coaching for people with chronic pain
I help people with chronic joint pain improve how they look, feel, and perform — online and in-person in Brooklyn.
I overcame bulging discs, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, torn knee ligaments, rotator cuff and neck injury, and more — without mainstream medicine. Now I teach others the system that actually works.

About Tom
10 years in pain before I found the way out.
Bulging discs, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, peroneal tendonitis, torn knee ligaments, knee bursitis, rotator cuff injury, and more. Every doctor had a different structural explanation and the same prescription: rest and wait.
So I stopped waiting and started studying. Today I'm completely pain-free and I built the system I wish had existed when I needed it.

People who refused to accept pain as permanent
Meet Lucas. He had a history of shoulder pain and ankle sprains and he wanted to build muscle without getting hurt.
“Tom is great and takes a holistic approach to help you achieve your goals.

He is thoughtful, motivating, and holds you accountable. I unequivocally recommend him.”

Having Tom as a coach is one of the best things I’ve done for myself.”

“While working with me, Tom:
1. Successfully rehabilitated a back injury and had me lifting heavy in under 6 months
2. Provided a wealth of advice on lifting mechanics, mobility exercises, calisthenics and injury prevention and recovery
3. Created a customized fitness program centered around personal athletic goals, lifestyle preferences and body specifics that has proven to be wildly successful
Tom’s got it all. If you are serious about your fitness journey or are looking to start one with a highly informed coach, Tom will work with you to quickly start achieving your goals.”
Meet Monica. Her goal was to lose fat and improve her fitness while addressing her knee pain. During our first session together she wanted to avoid lunges out of fear of hurting her knees, but after a short while she was lunging with heavy weights and completely pain-free.
Meet Blair. His primary goal was to be able to do more high intensity workouts without re-injuring his low back and shoulder. Our training focused on building a routine with intelligent progressions to keep progressing for years to come.
“Tom is an expert in every sense. I’m not a novice in the gym but have (over the years) collected several injuries that are challenging to train through and come back from. After each session with Tom I have a better understanding of where I went wrong in the past and a solid plan to reach my goals in the future—for that I’m incredibly grateful. This man knows his stuff!”
