Meet Dr. Tom Marciano
I'm Dr. Tom: My goal is to empower 5 million people around the world to find their courage to live fearlessly, compassionately, & unapologetically authentic lives that are truly their own!
I've been on a personal journey to master the human body both physically & mentally since the early 2000’s and I'm here to help you reclaim your energy and health so that you can get back to doing what you love.
My medicine journey began with martial arts. After almost 2 decades of training, teaching & fighting full contact sanshou; I cultivated a kene ability to push the limits of the body & mind. Traditional Northern Kung Fu & Tai chi styles were the arts I was blessed to learn. I was always injured, between overtraining or fighting any opponents willing. Doctors were useless. I ate healthy, did all the recovery protocols recommended, all the physical therapy exercises, prioritized sleep. Nothing made a difference. I eventually received an injury that the doctors claimed would never heal, stating surgery would be required & even with it, I can never fight again.
I refused surgery, and 6 weeks later I was not only healed, but jumping around & fighting again. I utilized the tai chi secrets Shifu Dan Schmidt had taught me. This is when everything changed for me. I became obsessed with searching for "Why" this was even possible.
Years later, I still ask "Why" every day. Now it's in regards to how I can improve the healing & performance optimization knowledge even further. I have become the doctor I always desired myself. One that empowers their patient to keep moving, safely, & stronger every day (even during an injury healing process). One that teaches why you should do things instead of just telling you to do things. One that awakens the lion inside of you, instead of putting it in a cage and calling it safety.
I am a doctor of chiropractic medicine and a black belt in traditional northern kung fu styles. My treatments are unique to each patient & are evidence-informed. I focus on identifying & correcting imbalances created through our fast-paced lives. Acupuncture, cupping, guasha, tai chi, & qigong are powerful ancient modalities I incorporate into my treatments to accelerate & solidify the results we are working towards.
My practice, Beast Chiropractic Mobile Health Services, is based on the 5 elements of "Beast" I give every patient: Balance, Empowerment, Awareness, Strength and Transformation. With these elements as a foundation, I can help reduce the risk of illness or injury before it ever strikes—so that if you do get hurt, the treatment will be unique to YOU, allowing quicker recovery & less time away from doing what you love.
You deserve an exciting future without fear of illness or injury getting in the way of your dreams.
