The physics of heavy quark mesons (heavy quarkonium) allows us to precisely obtain QCD parameters otherwise inaccessible. Effective field theory enables us to describe these systems. In this talk I will review the state-of-the-art theoretical setup for heavy quarkonium, and its phenomenology in real physical systems. As a result of this study I will present novel determinations of the bottom and charm quark masses and the strong coupling constant.
