Mark and MAT have helped me recover more fully from a long term back injury than I ever thought possible.  I feel so much stronger and resilient!  10 out of 10 stars, highly recommended!  - Joy J.

After my daughter was born, I was having a lot of trouble physically. I wasn't able to run more than 2 miles without significant pain. I tried PT, acupuncture, the chiropractor, yoga, pilates, etc. Before having children, I was very active and really yearned to be able to move again. I started seeing Mark and within ~3 weeks, I was able to regularly attend workouts. It's been just over 2 months since Mark started treating me, and I am now planning to do a triathlon! None of this would have been possible without Mark's care, attention, and thoughtfulness. I am so grateful to have found him and highly recommend him for treatment (especially postpartum care!). -Whitney L

I've been an MAT client of Mark's for only a few short months and every time I leave a session I feel better.  After years of pain and dysfunction I can now imagine a better life ahead. - Bonnie W

Although I often struggle to describe exactly why without using the word "voodoo," I proclaim to friends and strangers alike how great MAT has been for me, and how much I value Mark as a practitioner. I originally sought him out to address ingrained imbalances brought on by athletic injuries and poor function over the years, but I've stuck with him for years since to maintain that balance, prevent further injury, and to address any little problems before they get bigger. If MAT seems in any way right for you, Mark is definitely right for you. - Chris W

Mark is an incredible MAT practitioner. He has a deep understanding of MAT, both conceptually and practically, and my body is way better off after having worked with him. I can't recommend him highly enough. - Sakul N

Mark is a wonderful practitioner, hands down (pun intended). What sets him apart? Mark has a deep understanding of anatomy, which you want in someone overseeing your health and wellness. He also knows how to scale workouts, which can only come from years of experience. But most of all, he is a caring and good natured individual.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, he's someone I've had the pleasure of working alongside and referring patients to regularly. He knows how to get the most out of everyday athletes and has a knack for working with people beyond their 30 somethings.  - Kevin F

I've been working with Mark for little over a month and have already seen visible improvements in my range of motion, strength, and endurance. For the past four years I've dealt with two debilitating injuries and seen multiple physical therapists and bodywork specialists in the process. Though I made some gains, I always seemed to be "using the wrong muscles" which would then create more pain. Now when I exercise on my own, I can feel the right muscles turned on. I have less pain at work and more endurance throughout the day. Mark is thorough and thoughtful and I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with chronic pain and/or muscle imbalances!  - Jordan P

Mark is an amazing MAT (Muscle Activation Technique) specialist and an awesome personal trainer. He's professional, knowledgeable, flexible and motivational. I began working with him several years ago when having terrible back pain; I'd tried many "solutions" to find relief, but Mark's techniques nailed it. By combining MAT and personal training, I felt completely pain free after just a few sessions. The strength training in Mark's workouts complemented the MAT work, and helped to relieve the root cause of my back issues - lower body and core strength. The beauty of MAT is that it works quickly. Professional athletes use it, and it does wonders for every-day people too.  - Paula L

Mark and  MAT have given me back my natural gait so I can walk and live life without pain. I am a 78 year old woman who loves to be active whether I am hiking, exercising or playing pickle ball and after a year and a half of working with Mark I can do all of these activities. I will not be getting any younger in years but now, at least I feel confident about my balance and my ability to keep up with my children and grandchildren. If you have pain,  I would recommend Mark and MAT.  -Ann H

I found Mark when I was really struggling to find a solution for my chronic back pain - I had tried every solution I could think of. Mark used Muscle Activation Techniques to make a substantial improvement in just a few sessions. I used to not be able to play basketball without pain, or even sit for a full dinner. Now I rebound from tough activities quicker and just experience an overall lower amount of pain. I'm hopeful that a few more sessions can leave me completely pain free - a goal I had given up on just a few weeks ago. Thank you Mark!  - Zach C

MAT is a methodical approach to resolving muscle pain.  It has provided me with tremendous pain relief in my neck and knees—much more than any of my prior three doctors or physical therapists could provide.  I cannot express enough gratitude to Mark and the MAT organization. - Keon Z

Mark is the best! I've been relying on Mark for over 6 years now for all kinds of issues -- from the shoulder abuses of doing trapeze (yes, I'm a circus monkey) to the glute abuses of sitting in a desk chair wrong (because circus doesn't really pay).

I've also been a fan of Muscle Activation Techniques since my son was born over 12 (what?!) years ago, when my body just didn't make sense to me anymore, and literally nothing else helped. 

Mark takes incredible care in everything he does. He has the confidence to treat clients using every well-honed skill at his disposal, and the humility to double-check anything he wasn't sure about the first time. He's also really heckin' nice.

If your body just isn't cooperating in ways that aren't making sense, if you're experiencing pain or "tightness" no matter what you do… go see Mark. - Naomi M

Working with Mark has been a game changer. Prior to working with Mark, I had been coping with chronic shoulder pain for years. While other body based therapies, such as chiropractic care and Active Isolated Stretch (AIS) were successful at managing the pain and providing temporary relief, MAT eliminated the pain. After only one session. If I feel like my body isn't in alignment or I'm feeling tightness in my joints, I have Mark assess my body alignment and work his magic. I have also found that MAT compliments my workouts with my personal trainer. I have much greater range of motion in my shoulders and my weight is more evenly distributed throughout my body when I lift. I highly recommend working with Mark.  - Aiden B

Mark is great. He's ethusiastic, encouraging, tailors my workout to my specific needs, he listens, he pushes when I need a boost, but is also sympathetic to the aches and pains of an aging body.. He's friendly, upbeat, always on time and ready to go. I've been working with him for several months, and have never felt better!  - Ellen K

I can't say enough good things about Mark. I have been dealing with pain issues for over 4 years now, (having) tried everything from drugs to meditation. Finally, as recommended by a chiropractor I'd been seeing, I thankfully found Mark online and set up a weekly appointment with him. I am happy to say that with his guidance and support and easy-going, mindful approach to working out, I am now 98% pain free!  - Kim M
