After 20 years in the investment and banking industry, Antonio followed his passion for health and human performance, graduating from the National Holistic Institute in 2017 and beginning a second career in massage therapy. Today, as a Sports Massage Therapist and Sports Performance Coach with a Master of Science in Sports Performance Coaching, he combines hands-on therapy, movement assessment, and performance science to help people move better, recover effectively, and stay active.

Antonio has worked with professional, Olympic, collegiate, high school, and Masters athletes, as well as Silicon Valley professionals and active aging adults. His experience includes serving on the Active Release Techniques (ART) treatment team at the Ironman World Championships in 2024 and 2025 and providing trackside performance therapy at ALTIS Performance alongside world-renowned track and field coaches. Locally, he has also worked with student-athletes from Stanford University and Menlo College and athletes from Palo Alto, Gunn, Menlo, and Menlo-Atherton High Schools.

His approach integrates Sports and Deep Tissue Massage, Active Release Techniques, Fascial Stretch Therapy, movement assessment, recovery strategies, and return-to-play programming. He also utilizes performance technologies including VALD, Kinetisense, and Output Sports to provide objective information that can help guide training, recovery, and return-to-performance decisions.

Antonio’s philosophy is simple: bring the individualized care and performance principles typically available in professional, collegiate, and Olympic environments to everyone. Whether working with an athlete returning to competition, a Silicon Valley professional trying to stay healthy and active, or an active aging adult looking to maintain strength and mobility, the goal is the same—help each person move, recover, and perform at their best.
