Thank you for visiting the My PT website. My name is Dr. Tom Naro and I began My PT in 2017. The concept of Custom Physical Therapy has been part of my practice since starting in the PT field in 2006, but never felt more true than it does now. I renewed my model outside of health insurance company control so the focus will be 100% on you when you need case. Being a cash-based health care provider saves my clients time, money, and peace of mind. To quote one of my clients, “Dr. Tom is very different from the run-of-the mill physical therapist. He has provided me with care and treatment that is individualized, and patient focused. I can only say that I wish I found him sooner.”

Insurance SOAP-BOX: I prefer to focus my attention on the client, not the “red tape” and “hoops” created by the health insurance companies. Too many clients in my career have slipped through the cracks, been denied care they obviously needed, suffered from delayed care, and restricted treatments. Many have high deductible plans which means you pay upfront and likely more than what you would invest at My PT.

More on my background. Ever since I was a young boy I felt a calling to help people heal and recover from pain. I was inspired by my mom to get into the health sciences. Mary Naro was in the first graduating nursing class at Holyoke Community College and had a career as a Registered Nurse at Holyoke Medical Center for over 35 years. With the love and support of both my parents, Mary and Vinny, I have been privileged to become the healer I envisioned so long ago.

There have been many periods of growth in my career. Below is a short list of my professional trainings that have influenced my practice today. And if you are so interested, you can download a copy of my curriculum vitae to see even more.

Life has also been full of wonderful experiences that I also draw upon. My wife Melissa and I married June 22, 2017, now live together in Southwick with our two Shih-Tzu girls Luna and Kodak. We love going for walks on the rail trail, hikes, and camping. Melissa and I enjoy time spent together road cycling, mountain biking, and more intense hikes without the dogs. After work during the week, we have a “date” in our home gym where we each do our own exercises. She’s usually lifting the barbell, flying in the yoga trapeze, bouncing on the mini-trampoline, or stabilizing on the TRX. I’m impressed because she created all of her routines herself. Then I’ll be working the heavy bag, practicing karate kata, body weight training, deep stretching, or pulling the resistance bands. I told her it’s not really a date but I am very happy to pretend to make an excuse to workout together.

The last statement is a joking segue to mention what I believe to be one of the most hazardous problems all people face when it comes to movement health. In my personal experience, I have found that the hardest part of working out is stepping one foot into the gym. It was not because my foot couldn’t take a step, it was because my mind restrained the message from being delivered to my muscles after the thought to exercise first crossed my mind. In my case, apathy has become a nemesis to my fitness. Go figure, huh? So I remind myself what I want out of your body. What am I willing to do right now to make that happen? With a small commitment, I will achieve major results. You better believe it, too.

In closing, don’t let pain or any other excuse get in the way of your health. Consult a professional to help get you moving to the standard you desire. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have questions about being a client at My PT by voice/text (413) 268-4230 or by email tom@mypt.us.
