On Your Mark Sports Massage and Fitness

I started seeing Mark after my plantar fasciitis flared back up. After 7 sessions coupled with self-​treatment (massage and stretching on my own), my scar tissue was virtually gone. Mark got me from hobbling around to walking free and clear, and with his bedside manner, he was just as much of a mental therapist as a physical one!
One note – Mark could not get me back to 100%, but that was not due to his lack of mastery, but because he took me to the limits of how far ART could go, and he recognized that the remaining pain was likely due to some physiological imbalances. He referred me to the right person to stop me from re-​injuring myself, as that sort of assessment is outside his wheelhouse (and unlike many professionals out there, he wasn’t going to pretend it was his expertise when he knew someone else who could do a better job). He also referred me to someone who could get me in the right sneakers so I wouldn’t be hurting myself all over again with the wrong footwear.
Finally, Mark worked within my tight budget to get me the most aggressive treatment I could afford.
Highly recommend him if you have exhausted traditional PT and conservative options for your pain!

Mark is knowledgable both as a personal trainer and massage therapist. My body feels stronger, more and flexible. Additionally, many of my nagging injuries are healed due to his clinical expertise with his hands. I can work and play at a higher level.

I was suffering soreness in my chest a few months ago. Was totally odd, but I was waking up most mornings feeling like I bruised my ribs or something. After more than a month of this, I went to see Mark, hoping that just maybe he could help. And he did! Over two sessions, he helped stretch out that area of my body and the pain quickly cleared up!
I highly recommend Mark and his work!

I have a lot of chronic injuries from years of sports and heavy resistance training. Mark is able to utilize his extensive knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy in concert with his advanced training in multiple soft tissue modalities to make me feel and perform significantly better. He is an excellent ART provider and an overall good guy who sincerely cares about his clients. Top recommendation.

Mark has been both my personal trainer and massage therapist for about 3 years and is extremely skilled and knowledgable in both. It’s a great combination to have someone who works with me to meet my fitness goals and at the same time totally understands what may be going on with my body. The benefit is Mark can make adjustments to either workouts or treatments and also keep me injury free. Since I’ve been seeing Mark, he’s helped me overcome a hip problem that was interfering with my fitness activities. I’m in better shape than I’ve ever been and have increased my strength significantly in the time I’ve been working with him. And Mark makes workouts fun! Can’t beat that!

I have been seeing Mark off and on for about 10 years. He has helped me a lot with tension headaches, TMJ, neck and shoulder pain. He is the best Active Release Techniques provider I have seen in NYC and I highly recommend him if you have muscle and joint pain.

Mark is the best massage therapist I’ve been to. I am constantly pushing myself physically and straining muscles. His ability to trace where my problems stem from, and then fix them, is impressive. The only problem is that now that I no longer live in New York. So, I can no longer see him. Plus, other massage therapists pale in comparison.

I’ve been receiving bodywork for over 20 years, so I speak from experience when I say that Mark’s work is top notch. He helped me to resolve a neck condition, which hadn’t responded to months of conventional massage and acupuncture. He has enough tools in his toolbox to pull out the right one for the job and he found what worked for me. I wholeheartedly recommend his work!

Mark is the best massage therapist ever. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable on the entire human body. He has multiple certifications in many techniques and I often say that he has magic hands. If you have an injury — he can fic it. He is a miracle worker and I would never trust anyone else!
