About Mark
Mark is a residency-trained manual physical therapist. Graduating from Georgia State University in 1997, Mark also completed a year of Residency in Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT), and earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, through the Ola Grimsby Institute in 2006. And in 2015, he became certified in Functional Manual Therapy (CFMT) through the Institute of Physical Art.
An avid (and occasionally injured) amateur musician and recreational runner, Mark enjoys working with clients who are passionate about their activities, whether vocational, athletic, or recreational. He believes physical therapy should be a process of self-discovery for each client, empowering them to understand their functional challenges and to help them access the tools they need to find a path to genuine healing.
He is also a longtime yoga practitioner, and began teaching yoga in 2002. He has attended a month-long course of advanced classes at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune, India, and also observed the institute’s therapeutic medical classes. When appropriate, Mark incorporates yoga postures, breathing and concentration practices into PT treatment.
Mark brings deep knowledge of neuro-musculoskeletal science, along with an artful, eclectic mix of manual therapy skills and an attentive presence, to each client session. He considers manual therapy to be an educational process, using informed touch to facilitate efficient movement, which is the basis of all healing and growth.
