Now he wants to become the GOAT of massages.
Tom Brady and his business partner Alex Spiro are joinig forcess with the world’s first robotic massage technology company, Aescape.
Sources describe the deal as a merger, with Brady becoming Chief Innovation Officer, sharing his longevity and recovery protocol, and Spiro joining as a strategic advisor in exchange for equity in the company.
This partnership will propel Aescape beyond the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Equinox gyms which it currently operates and into the locker rooms of professional sports teams and even the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, according to Spiro.
“This is the greatest democratization of massage and there is no competitor in the space,” Spiro explained.
Aescape massages are preformed entirely by robotic arms, with no need for human input. They start at $60 for a 30-minute massage which the company says is comparable to an hour from a human since the robotic arms work with firm pressure the entire time in a way a human can’t.
“The sensors create a 3D model of your body that’s going to really personalize the massage … and between each visit, it’s going to remember you and know the things you like,” Aescape founder and CEO Eric Litman said in a statement.
Brady, who has been an early adopter of a regime that emphasizes the musculoskeletal system and pliability as a key to wellness, sees this as a natural extension of his existing approach to health.
“Since early in my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with Alex Guerrero, the best body coach in the world. What we’ve built together helped me play 23 seasons in the NFL. Now, together with Aescape, we’re making that same elite level of treatment accessible to everyone,” he said.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
As the technology scales, Spiro — also a prominent attorney who has represented Jay-Z, Elon Musk, and Eric Adams — envisions the price dropping from the current $60 per session to $30 or even lower within the next decade.
This comes amid a growing cultural obsession with longevity, health, and biohacking. However, interestingly, massage has been notably absent from many wellness regimes.
“We’re adapting Tom’s longevity-focused protocols to the Aescape system and building on them in ways that can only be done through robotics and AI,” Litman added.
The technology, which officially debuted last year, already has 100 locations and has delivered more than 25,000 massages.
Last year, The Post reported how Aescape, which promises “the world’s most advanced massage,” wants to be Uber for back rubs: An easy-to-book and affordable experience.
Throughout the massage, a touch screen below the head cradle lets you make comfort tweaks: “You can change the pressure, change the music, change where on your body [the robot] is working,” Litman explained.
