Sam Hammer LMT, CPT
Seattle Massage Therapist and Personal Trainer
As a highly trained clinical massage therapist and a personal trainer focused on healthy movement, I aim to infuse my work with the power of connected touch and embodied intelligence grounded in both science and experience.
As an advanced weight lifter and functional movement geek, I have a specialized understanding of the demands, nuances and benefits of strength and functional training for performance, physique development, and enhanced quality of life.
