Statement of Purpose
Soarbody Therapeutics is an athletic performance based practice, dedicated
to helping athletes overcome chronic pain and weaknesses, prevent future
injuries, and develop their potential to excel at their sports.
Scope of Practice
Soarbody Therapeutics is an athletic performance based practice, dedicated
to helping athletes overcome chronic pain and weaknesses, prevent future
injuries, and develop their potential to excel at their sport. Our scope of
practice lies within the legal parameters of the massage therapist (LCMT,
NCBTMB) and the
strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS,
NSCA).
Because we respect both your health
and our scope practice, any client with a condition that is outside the
scope of strength and conditioning and massage therapy will be referred out
to the appropriate health care professional and any client who arrives at a
session with an acute injury or condition will be dismissed and directed to
seek medical attention immediately. Similarly, while we respect, value and
monitor the general health of our clients for their safety, we do not
provide services to meet specific health objectives (fitness, weight loss,
relaxation, etc) but maintain an extensive referral list of personal trainers,
massage therapists, and nutritionists to help them with these needs.
I am a certified
Strength and
Conditioning Specialist and is certified in
Orthopedic Assessment
and Manual Therapy
Note: We do not accept clients with acute injuries or clients with litigation
or possible litigation pending due to the chronic condition for which they
seek treatment.
Who is Sam Peck?
Sam
Peck, BA, CSCS, LCMT – is the sole proprietor of Soarbody
Therapeutics. Sam is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS,
NSCA) and a licensed certified massage therapist (LCMT, NCBTMB). His
practice focuses on assessing, preventing, and treating chronic
musculoskeletal injuries and pain.
After attending Roanoke College and Boston
College, where he competed in cross country running and studied education,
he graduated with a BA in education and went on to teach in three different
states. Sam attended the Muscular Therapy Institute where he graduated with
a GPA of 4.0 in 2004 to launch his new career. Inspired by those who treated
him for chronic athletic injuries and by an internship at Spaulding
Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic, Medford, MA, Sam focused his professional
development on precise orthopedic assessment of chronic injuries and
treatment within his scopes of practice. Understanding that for injuries to
most fully resolve, healing must occur in the presence of motion, Sam went
on to earn his certification as a strength and conditioning specialist in
2009. He has combined his skills in manual therapy, education, and strength
and conditioning into a comprehensive treatment called dynamic muscular
therapy.
Currently Sam offers both dynamic muscular
therapy and sports massage from his office located between Davis
Square, Somerville, and Tufts University, Medford. Accepting both athletes
and non-athletes alike, Sam receives many of his referrals from certified
athletic trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, and personal
trainers, but welcomes any and all who need his services.
