Gavin Stewart

Adam is super intuitive, very knowledgeable, and easygoing. He released muscles in my body that were locked up for ages with a gentle-yet-powerful approach. I've seen countless body workers over my dance career – chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, & massage therapists – and I can say with certainty he's one of the best I've seen!

Just book the appointment! I enjoy running but have had hip problems since my youth. It got so bad some days it was hard to walk. A chiropractor recommended Adam to me and thankful is an understatement. Immediately after my first appointment I could stand straighter. I have been able to resume my running that I was beginning to think was a lost cause. Adam is a wealth of knowledge and truly has given me a part of my life back I thought may be gone.

I saw a video of Adam treating a client on Instagram and it was like no other massage I'd ever seen. It wasn't the kind of massage you'd get at a spa - it a clinical approach to massage therapy that really highlighted his deep understanding of the human body. I immediately made an appointment! I had a really great experience and felt so much better after. It was very therapeutic but also relaxing. I had been struggling with almost weekly flares in my back, neck and shoulder but after one session I haven't had a flare since!

Adam is awesome; he truly listens to what aches and pains you are having and approaches the massage with an attuned knowledge of the physiology of the body, working the "bigger picture" while supporting the "problem" areas. My sessions with Adam over the last several months helped me to fully recover from an ankle/lower leg injury while keeping me moving and healing at the same time -- essential for my work as a professional dancer and dance educator.`I will definitely keep massages with Adam as part of my wellness regimen and highly recommend him to anyone looking to relieve pain and feel better!

Mary Donnelly

Adam is indeed fabulous. He's the first massage therapist I've had who tailored the session to address my particular issues. I've just had my first session but I'm feeling better already, and looking forward to my next appointment. Money well spent, he's awesome.

Massage businesses are ubiquitous in Asheville, and I've tried quite a few of them over the years. What makes Sama Therapeutics different is the fact that Adam is not just a massage therapist, he is truly gifted, and has the ability to "listen" to your muscles with his hands. He is deliberately slow and intuitive, pausing in places I didn't even know needed attention. Both my hips need to be replaced, but I'm not old enough for the surgery yet, so therapeutic massage is part of my strategy in the meantime. Thanks to Adam, my pain level has gone from 10 down to a 1 or 2, and I'm holding steady there. I could not recommend Adam more highly!

I have had two massages with Adam now— both have been unreal and unlike any massage I’ve had before. I’ve had horrible pain and stiffness in my shoulders that no one has been able to really work on or fix— until my first massage with Adam. What a difference !!! He helps you understand the issues along the way, in an extremely relaxing comfortable environment. I highly recommend!!!!

Nikki Kaminoff

Adam is one of the best massage therapists I have ever had, and I have been getting therapeutic massages for the last 15+ years. He really listened to what I said about my pain and physical limitations, and personalized the massage for the specific needs of my body. He focused on my joints and deep layers of muscle, and included some movement and stretching as well. His experience as a yoga instructor really came through in how he handled my body. He’s also just an all-around pleasant guy!

Meghan O

I have known Adam for a few years now and he has always been a very kind, trustworthy person. His work in massage reflects this and I always have very comfortable, relaxing sessions with him! I honestly usually only go to female massage therapists, but Adam is one man that I keep returning to. He is professional, highly skilled, easy to talk to and listens to feedback. A++

Becca Lucas

Massage therapy with Adam has been one of the best choices I have made in a long time. Extremely professional, a calming presence and with an unparalleled ability to detect places of pain and trauma in the body and address them with grace and strength. He has helped me work through my intense shoulder and neck pain, as well as releasing quad muscles that I didn't know were still in such tension 7 years after ankle surgery. My leg has never felt better, thank you Adam for all that you do!

Matthew McKay

The body work I've received from Adam over the last few months has been life altering. I came to him with several injuries to my shoulder and before the first massage was even finished I knew I'd be coming back. He has a unique ability to combine his knowledge of physiology with his intuition and is always listening. Adam helped me to turn a sharp corner with my rehab and I'm grateful. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Lauren Wood

Adam is a miracle worker in my opinion. I am a 48 year old female who has been very active since adolescence. I have experienced many injuries and had started to give up on ever running long distance again. Adam has brought the ability to do so back again. He is incredibly professional and overall an incredible human. His goal is to get your body working again so you don’t have to come see him! I can’t say enough kind words about Adam and his services.

Ken Mattsson

I've gotten massages from many people, and Adam is truly special. He's got an approach and a natural sense of what needs to happen in a massage much more than your "feel good spa" time. He gets to problems that I had not had any other massage therapist been able to address. I'm bummed that he moved away from Cambridge, but it's Ashville's gain, and if I make it there, I'll schedule an appointment with him!

Alice Malone

Adam is an incredibly attuned and gifted massage therapist. After my first massage with him, I recommended him to several close friends without hesitation. He clearly understands the body, and really listens and works with you as an individual to address your unique needs. I can’t recommend Adam highly enough!

Sara Luster

So excited for Asheville to experience this very unique clinical massage at Sama Therapeutics. I have had a moving target of chronic pain, shoulder lock, zinging from neck to hand for the last 3 years, effecting my quality of life significantly. Adam carefully listened to my chronic pain journey - all the trial and error. After just 6 sessions I feel like a completely different person. I am able to workout 3 days a week now and feel as though I have a gotten control of my pain. The office is clean and convenient and Adam is clearly educated on the body and an intuitive practitioner.

Kyle Brightwell

Adam is amazing and has helped me so much with my shoulder problems that I’ve been dealing with for years. After seeing physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists and others, Adam has by far helped me progress through my injuries the most. He is a great listener who will tailor each session to what you need while also informing you of what is going on. He is super intuitive about the body and I would recommend him whole heartedly to anyone.

J Smith

I recently had my first session w/ Adam at Sama. Location is easy, parking is easy; building environment is very orderly, clean, and peaceful. I booked a 90 minute appointment so I could discuss my unique case before the session. Adam actively listened as I described my symptoms, he presented an appropriate level of empathy, and his overall presence made the session feel safe and professionally therapeutic. Adam immediately identified multiple sources of inflammation and tension. I laughed during the session because I have not felt symptom relief from my TMJD and chronic shoulder discomfort in years. I’ve previously had massage techniques utilized in physical therapy, but Adam was on an entirely different level. At the end of the appointment I felt as if I was walking on air. My body has never felt so relaxed and it lasted well into the next day and as I write this tonight. As someone who lives with chronic pain/discomfort, I would highly recommend addressing your needs with Adam. I’m so happy I randomly came across his services, and I will continue to book with him.

Marsha Pelletier

I have had a lot of massages over the years, but Adam is far an away the best massage therapist I've ever had. He understood not only which problems I was having but why I was having those problems, and worked to not only help me feel better to but to help me avoid feeling badly again. It's his ability to really listen to what's going on and to take a slow approach that makes all of the difference. He's also easy to talk to -- warm and personable.

Elyse Brennan

After and IT Band issue left me unable to run more than a half mile without pain, massages from Adam helped me get back to running pain free! This is nothing like the massages I received in physical therapy at the same time, you could actually feel all of the tensed muscles releasing (weird, but it felt amazing). I highly recommend for anyone, sports related issues or not. But if you are training for a marathon, Adam is definitely a lifesaver!

Maya-Jade Horowitz

I was so lucky to have found Sama, and Adam. I can't recall how I found him initially... maybe it was Yelp? I was looking for a massage therapist close to my home near Davis square, and Alewife was pretty convenient for me on my Fridays off. The first visit was just for a one-time massage, but Adam was too awesome. He listened to my request for lighter pressure and areas of focus so well, that I decided to become a regular, and bought packages to visit him once a month. I also got my husband over there, too. :)

Alden Sonnenfeldt

Sama Therapeutics' massage approach and knowledge base is the best I have experienced. Highly recommend to all athletes or anyone just looking to improve their physical wellness! I started seeing Adam after straining my back. As an avid rock climber, this injury was devastating and very challenging to manage. He helped me recover from the injury and then establish a maintenance routine that I integrated into my training. I am healthier than ever now.

Sama Therapeutics is a hidden gem tucked away in the Fresh Pond mall. Before working with Adam, I was reluctant to hire another massage therapist - I was most interested in finding someone who took their craft very seriously and who stayed current with the anatomy research. At the time, I was getting involved with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and recovering from a concussion, and wanted help relieving some of the tension in my neck and surrounding area, as well as helping me move and perform at my best. I could not be more thrilled to have discovered Adam. Here’s 3 things that make his practice unique: 1. The environment: Adam takes care to be 100% engaged and listen to exactly what you’re saying, and when talking with Adam, you really feel like you’re being heard. He has a calming and re-assuring presence. 2. His craft: he’s amazing at what he does. And he keeps up with the growing body of knowledge and research in the anatomy and massage field (this was very important to me, as I wanted to work with someone who understood the new developments in fascial systems). He’s the guy you want on your team. 3. His engagement: he cares about getting you better with lasting results, so you can go on being your best at whatever you do. His energy and genuine interest in how effective the treatment is makes you feel extremely supported. Adam was able to help me work through some post-concussion symptoms (along with just helping me move better and feel great) - and more recently, help support my running progress and goals, by keeping my calves relaxed and supple, and helping me get past Achilles tendonitis, which is gone, for the most part now. His unique presence and hunger to learn and be the best at what he does makes him a true hidden gem; I highly recommend working with him if you have any pain, or issue you want dealt with.

Michael Raymond

Adam is absolutely incredible. I have struggled with chronic back pain, degenerative disk disease, right shoulder rotator cuff tendonitis, and a number of other painful injuries and issues. While I had gotten used to the pain, it didn't make me the most pleasant person to be around. Adam's care, attention, professionalism, and expertise have given me considerable relief. While I still have a long way to go, the pain relief and improvement I have experienced has impacted not just my physical health, but it has improved my relationships and given me hope for the future. This disabled Army vet is humbled and grateful to have Adam in his corner.

Roberta Wade

If you have specific problem areas of pain or injury, Adam is the massage therapist for you. He knows how to treat those difficult areas and his treatment works. He’s also very receptive to questions and suggestions if you have either. His work space is clean and neat and soothing - even during these difficult times. I highly recommend Adam.

Nicholas James Stewart

Adam gave me some of the best massages I have ever received. The environment he creates at his studio is very warm, calming, and reassuring. He really worked with my body to help me get through a shoulder injury that had been bothering me for almost a year. We did multiple sessions and worked off of the momentum of the previous session each time. Very grateful for Sama Therapeutics!

Lily Fender

Absolutely go here for MFR!! This was my first experience with a professional myofascial release specialist and Adam couldn’t have been better! Before getting started Adam was very thorough in discussing which areas we’d target throughout the session, so I was totally aware of which muscle groups we’d be focusing on. With such an intense therapy it’s also so important to be working with someone who is intentional about checking in about your comfort level throughout the 60 minute session - Adam was very consistent about asking for feedback as we went. In just one session I learned so much about different ways my fascia hold tension - I will absolutely be coming back to Adam in the future!!!

Joshua Schmidt

Adam’s knowledge of anatomy and physiology make him a good massage therapist, but it’s his compassion, curiosity, and intention to listen to the needs of my body that make him a GREAT massage therapist. I’ve seen Adam multiple times over the last few months and I always leave feeling at ease with my body and mind. In addition to his bodywork skills – his teachings in yoga and meditation are incredibly valuable. His ability to communicate one-on-one and within a group setting makes the experience relatable and fun.

Parker Olson

After breaking my collarbone and having surgery to stabilize it, I came to see Adam looking for relief from muscle tension and stress. His sessions have given me as much benefit as the 5 months I have been in PT, and he is knowledgeable about the body and muscle groups and able to work out the areas I have struggled with. Highly recommend for the service as well as his great attitude and willingness to help alleviate your pain!

Tami Salazar

Adam helped me with an acute right shoulder pain from an injury a while back, he has such an amazing in-depth, intuitive skill for knowing anatomy and how to best correct the injury, I would highly recommend him and am very grateful for having heard about him.

Jessica Amendola

One of the best massages I’ve ever had! Adam’s anatomy knowledge and passion for helping other’s feel good in their bodies made this such an amazing experience. I am so grateful and will be back soon. Highly recommend!

Lisa Saladin

Adam is very professional and knowledgeable! I had a great first session and am looking forward to going back!

Lew Insler

Adam pays attention to your complaints and works on the areas you mutually decide need it the most. His treatment adjusts as your needs change.In just a few months he has taken care of areas I have had trouble with for years! Plus the website takes the hassle out of scheduling and payment!

Tara Cates

Amazing: Very intuitive, extremely professional. Perfect amount of pressure to be therapeutic. He cured my calf strain which had been making walking and running difficult for several weeks. Have been highly recommending him to everyone I know!!

Matt Osada

Adam is professional and very good at what he does. He took care of my nagging shoulder/elbow issue in short time. Highly recommend!

Kristi Sanborn Miller

I had an incredible 90-minute therapeutic massage - he found some crunchy spots I didn't even know about - I feel amazing.

Kirk Harris

Adam is an amazing Massage therapist and a very kind and gentle person

Stephanie Metzger

Very knowledgeable and sensitive. Great work!

Judy Bowers

Adam really understands the muscular and operations of the body. It was such a blessing to have been able to snag a last-minute appointment to gain relief for my back. A week later and my back is still feeling just as good as when I left the appointment. I highly recommend Adam. In addition to his expertise and experience, the location is easy to get to and has plenty of parking.
