Mark always asks me what I think my issues are. He thoroughly works over my body including my problem areas. He always leaves me w/homework to enhance my massage and derive its full benefits until my next appointment. I have had 3 massages done by Mark.

Mark is an extremely skilled practitioner, able to deliver anything from a soothing massage to intense bodywork for rehab and recovery. I recommend him especially for deep muscle massage (adhesions, etc) and bodywork, as it's much easier to find a basic soothing massage therapist than a specialist like him.

I wish I could give greater than 5 stars because that was the greatest deep tissue massage I have ever experienced!! Mark is very personable, easy to talk to, and extremely skilled at what he does!! Definitely not a fluff and stuff kind of place and worth every dime!! I’ve only had one session and I can’t wait to come back for more and looking forward to not being in constant pain and better health overall!! Thank you so much Mark!! So glad I found you!!

I've gone to Mark for over a year. When I started, I was having difficulty walking due to a very cramped right leg. Within 2 sessions, Mark had improved that. Over the year, he has also greatly reduced my sciatica in my right leg. I was a person who took ibuprofen for leg pain multiple times a day. Now I just take it at night as needed. Mark is the absolute best if you are looking for a deep tissue therapeutic massage. He works with you to get the best results possible and monitors progress with each visit. His office is very basic. If you are expecting a warm robe, latte, and chocolates....this is not the place for you. If you want to work with someone on a continuous basis and see results, this is the place to go!

I like that I no longer have pain from sciatica. I can not remember the last time I had an episode. It used to keep me in bed for days because it was so painful to move. It is great to be pain free. The tension is also gone from my upper back and I sleep so much better.

Mark is very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all my questions, explained what he was doing, and gave me stretches (at my request) to do at home. He is able to find and work out knots and tight muscles easily. If you want a light relaxing "vacation" massage, this isn't the place for you. This is deep tissue massage and physical therapy at its finest.
