I met with Thomas for the first time yesterday and found a whole new world of healing. I came in with sciatica and back pain (been suffering now for nearly 9 weeks) and after leaving his office I could finally start to feel sensation down my left leg where it had been numb for nearly two months. I have never heard of ART before but wow, am I glad I came across it and Thomas!
I have been to see Thomas 3 times now and Iam so glad I made the decision to see him instead of just going to get a feel good massage to attempt to relieve pain. I was having bad aches and pain in my shoulder and now am free of pain, educated on how to care for my injury in the future, and finally able to have the mobility in my upper body that I once had.

If you are looking for someone to actually “treat” a body problem you are experiencing Thomas is your guy hands down. 10/10! Less
From my very first session, my body felt better than it has in years. I’ve continued to book appointments and continue receiving results and relief. I got more out of one session with Thomas than Ive ever gotten from traditional masssage.
Always feel great after being worked on. No more pinching in my neck.
Thomas Wells has helped me so much through the years. I am an athlete, I compete in gymnastics swim and Taekwondo, and while I am doing these sports, I try not to get hurt, but when I do Thomas has always been there to help.

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.
Six months ago, I visited Thomas after thirty years of dealing with pain, discomfort, and limited function in my upper back from an old injury. At the time, I was also concerned about hamstring pain that had persisted for several months. After three sessions with Thomas, my upper back felt normal--not just pain-free, but totally normal.

Six months ago, I visited Thomas after thirty years of dealing with pain, discomfort, and limited function in my upper back from an old injury. At the time, I was also concerned about hamstring pain that had persisted for several months. After three sessions with Thomas, my upper back felt normal--not just pain-free, but totally normal. For the first time in thirty years (thirty years!) I could effectively activate the muscles in my upper back, and I had no pain or discomfort at all, something that I hadn’t been able to achieve with the help of a great chiropractor or yoga practice. After that, Thomas shifted his focus to my hamstring with similar results: a complete return to pain-free functionality within just a few weeks. Six months later, my back and hamstring continue to feel great. I can’t recommend Thomas highly enough. Less
I’m very grateful to have found Thomas. He is an incredibly skilled professional with many techniques in his arsenal to help you. If you have any body work needs, he’s the guy. He’s helped me with an old and nagging Achilles injury and a more serious back and pelvic floor issue. I really shutter to think how I would be doing if I hadn’t found him. He’s also incredibly kind.

He’s helped me with an old and nagging Achilles injury and a more serious back and pelvic floor issue. I really shutter to think how I would be doing if I hadn’t found him. He’s also incredibly kind. He’s the most experienced body worker in the Sonoma County. If you’re even thinking about seeing him, just do it. Don’t suffer!! Less
Thomas is a highly skilled and educated practitioner. He is my absolute go to person when I need some answers.
Amazing massage! Erika is such a professional and has a gift! Not only does she give a great massage, but also offers great stress reducing tips! Book an appointment, you will not be disappointed!
Tom is one of the best body workers I have ever had the chance to work with!
As a bodyworker, I am particularly picky when it comes to choosing a clinician for myself. I first got to know Thomas as an instrcutor of NKT and PDTR. I immediately was able to recognize that his level of skill and comprehension was exceptional. He is also clearly passionate about what he does. I felt extremely confident in Thomas' abilities when I decided to see him as a client. My first sessio... More

I immediately was able to recognize that his level of skill and comprehension was exceptional. He is also clearly passionate about what he does. I felt extremely confident in Thomas' abilities when I decided to see him as a client. My first session with Thomas was a great experience. His over-all demeanor was very calming and grounding and made me feel very secure, which is a crucial element. I experienced an improvement in my breathing, increased thoracic rotation, decreased spinal compression, and some pretty profound emotional clearings as well. I enthusiastically look forward to future sessions. Less
When I came to Thomas my elbow was in so much pain I no longer slept and could barely use my arm. I had already tried other solutions including cortisone shots. It has been 3 years and my elbow is awesome, I have no pain, and full use! I still see Thomas every 4-6 weeks, he is an integral part of my overall wellness. I am not sure I will ever stop seeing him! Thanks Thomas as you know we think ... More

Thomas was recommended to me by several of my friends who had gone to him for various reasons. I came to Thomas because my shoulder and hip were giving me great pain and multiple functional issues. I have been seeing Thomas on and off for about 2 years now - and the difference he has made for me is beyond any words I could write! I've had both rotator cuff and a hip surgery (a labral tear) that while successful, present functional movement/pain issues for me. I have become a lover of lifting weights and training with a personal trainer, and the work that Thomas does has allowed me to be able to move forward in that area of my life. Thomas is a genius at what he does - and I love that his passion for what he does is so obvious! I can't exactly explain what "it" is that he does, but it WORKS. If you have "tried everything" and still have pain and feel like nothing will work - then you obviously haven't tried "everything" . I highly recommend that you see Thomas Wells - The Body Mechanic - he is a master at what he does. I cannot express my gratitude to him and I give him my highest recommendation. Less
I'm an athlete who has scar tissue on various injuries I've accumulated through the years, and as a result have needed rehabilitative and deep tissue work done. Few people I've found are strong enough to do that kind of work well, but Thomas is an exception to the rule. He has helped me correct some problems that I've been living with for nearly 20 years in some cases. Thomas is a genius at what ... More
I'm an athlete who has scar tissue on various injuries I've accumulated through the years, and as a result have needed rehabilitative and deep tissue work done. Few people I've found are strong enough to do that kind of work well, but Thomas is an exception to the rule. He has helped me correct some problems that I've been living with for nearly 20 years in some cases. Thomas is a genius at what he does, and after working with him for a few months now I can't imagine anyone he couldn't help. It's kind of hard to explain what he does because it isn't like sports massage therapy, nor is it exactly like physical therapy...it's kind of a hybrid yet not like any of those. I originally went to him with a variety of problems, ranging from knee issues to neck problems. In my last 3 sessions with him, he has completely transformed my body and helped to alleviate pain I honestly thought I'd be living with for the rest of my life. We had to break down a bunch of scar tissue to do it and the results were immediate and floored me. I am actually walking better now as a result of the work he did! Mind you that some of these injuries were the results of 12 years of martial arts sparring and 25+ years of running and biking around Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.. As far as the work itself, he's been using a variety of techniques including Active Release Techniques (aka Active Release Therapy), Bowen Therapy, and a few others to get these results. Thomas is like a mad scientist whose passion is the human body and his skills are obvious once he starts working on you. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone who has any type of pain, movement restriction, or other physical ailments. He is a master of his craft and I appreciate his expertise. Less
I had 4-5 months of progressively worsening shoulder pain. I didn't want to go back to physical therapy so I looked for someone with a different approach. 1 session yielded 80% improvement. 2 sessions 95% improvement. A few sessions later my shoulder and a few other things were 100% and pain free. If you add up the cost of visiting Thomas vs. the cost of co-pays and many more sessions visiting a... More
I had 4-5 months of progressively worsening shoulder pain.

A few sessions later my shoulder and a few other things were 100% and pain free. If you add up the cost of visiting Thomas vs. the cost of co-pays and many more sessions visiting a PT, I'm certain it is always worth it to go visit Thomas instead. For any sort of pain or dysfunction there is nobody else that I see first. Less
My experience with Thomas is simple: he has fixed the problems I've had, not just treated my symptoms. This means the pain and the problem causing the pain goes away. His knowledge of the body and how to treat injuries and aches is second to none in the exercise science community in the North Bay. As an athlete, strength coach and owner of a local sports performance gym, I recommend him daily ... More
My experience with Thomas is simple: he has fixed the problems I've had, not just treated my symptoms. This means the pain and the problem causing the pain goes away. His knowledge of the body and how to treat injuries and aches is second to none in the exercise science community in the North Bay. As an athlete, strength coach and owner of a local sports performance gym, I recommend him daily to my athletes. He fixes them and gets them back and ready for competition. Any athlete, or anyone with any injury for that matter, who does not go to Thomas is doing themselves and their health and/or injury a disservice. The Body Mechanic will not disappoint. Less
I see Tom whenever I need more than an adjustment. I've been using these services for over 30 years and Tom is right up there with the best of them. I highly recommend him.
I first met Sean when he was a guest speaker at a business group of mine. I pretty much decided on the spot I had to work with him. Everything he said made sense and it was clear to me I'd need a lot of help. He's already set up my website and done all the search engine optimization for me, and we're in the process of getting my social media working for me. All in all, I've been working with him ... More

He's already set up my website and done all the search engine optimization for me, and we're in the process of getting my social media working for me. All in all, I've been working with him for about 7 months, and having done the math, I can see my business has grown 63% in that time. I dominate on Google and my business has that polished, professional feel I've been wanting for years. I can't recommend him highly enough. Less
