Mark believes that the key to a successful treatment plan is client empowerment and providing them with the understanding and tools necessary to be the champion of their own treatment. He believes strongly in client education to better help his clients understand their injury/condition, the sources of their pain, and how to self-manage and guide their recovery while receiving support and guidance through in-clinic treatment. Mark’s treatment style includes therapeutic exercise plans/programs, hands-on manual therapy treatment, and pain management using therapeutic modalities when appropriate. Mark takes an active approach to treatment but understands that every client presents with different needs and at different stages of their injury. He is highly understanding and flexible when treatment planning to meet the specific needs of the client. He is very passionate about helping clients reach their goals whether they have a clear functional goal or to live their life with better pain management.
