He's very respectful of your desired massage outcomes - whether relaxation or ablating deep muscle knots through powerful force. I highly recommend anyone seek Mark out for therapy.

Mark is such a great professional that I now consider massage part of my health care plan. He helps with my particular issues but also finds stress tucked away in spots that I hadn't identified yet. He always listens and adjusts to any new need. I can have a "quiet" appointment but also a chatty one - both are great and so is he.

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!

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.

Amazing massage! Absolutely more than relaxation! Mark addressed my specific concerns and also found areas of my body that needed work that I didn't even realize were hurting me. Wonderful experience and I can't recommend him highly enough!

I have hamstring issues and I was referred to Mark. He is knowledgeable and explained thoroughly what would take place. This deep tissue massage was so worth it. Just after one massage I felt a difference. I will definitely continue this. Thank you Mark.

I walked into the office in excruciating pain and walked out somewhat relieved. I felt better and better as the day went on. And today less than 24 hours later I feel at least 75% pain relief. I know I wouldn't get immediate relief however, I did not expect to feel as good as I felt either.
I would highly recommend the Springfield Massage and Therapeutic Center to anyone who may need a therapeutic massage. Thumbs Up.

Mark is a great therapist, who's able to communicate clearly to ascertain a client's needs and execute a ton of pressure when needed to help loosen tight muscles! I'm so glad I found Mark.

I have never had any massage that was as amazing as this one. Mark managed to hit every spot that I was concerned with, but also areas that I didn’t even realize were an issue.
I made my next appointment right after the massage & highly recommend Mark if you’re in need of a deep massage.
I live in Morton & will be making the drive to Springfield for the most amazing massage ever !!!
Thank you Mark.

The touch and pressure to my entire body. Especially my back, feet and legs. The foot massage is wonderful and of course the neck is always in need of relaxation. This is all stress related and there is tightness throughout my body. You do an excellent job.

I was able to go back to Mark for a massage recently and so glad I did. He did an wonderful job, such a complete massage that sent me home feeling so relaxed. He is a careful, adjusting the massage a couple times in response to feedback from me - so attentive. I felt he somehow was in tune with my muscles and gave them just the right amount of pressure they needed. The studio is homey, neat and tidy as well as quiet and comfy. Can’t waited until my next visit. Thanks much Mark! You sent me home feeling healed and certainly happy.

Massage bed temperature was perfect and the sheets were very soft. I loved how I actually got a 60min massage instead of 45-50min when I paid for an hour like some places do. My skin felt great when I left and the pressure for my Swedish massage was perfect.

Clean, calm and comfortable atmosphere. I went in for sore muscles all over from recently starting to work out again and relaxation. Mark did not disappoint. He did everything perfectly. He also explained to me on a spot in my back that I have problems with where the actually pain is caused from and how to alleviate the pain at home. I will be a regular customer :)
