Services Overview
ACTIVE RELEASE / MEDICAL MASSAGE
Active Release Techniques (ART) is a movement-based manual therapy treatment system designed to treat musculoskeletal pain and injuries. Active Release combines very specific hands-on contacts with client movement to break up scar tissue, separate adhesions within and between muscles, relieve nerve entrapments, increase circulation, restore muscle length and improve joint range of motion. It is incredibly effective at treating a wide range of orthopedic conditions and injuries, from shoulder pain to back problems and running injuries. ART fits within our Medical Massage framework which includes a variety of manual therapy techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue massage and Graston, all of which complement each other to help treat a myriad of injuries and pain patterns.
PERSONAL TRAINING
Mark's approach to Personal Training is all about customization, injury prevention, sustainable fitness and goal-specific training. Mark meets you where you are at and considers all your orthopedic, fitness, demographic and lifestyle variables in order to craft workouts and programs that truly address your needs safely, effectively and sustainably. Whether you want to train with him once a week for a month, twice per week for six months or just until your pain is gone, Mark will get you where you want to go. It's all about YOUR fitness and orthopedic goals. Mark helps clients transition from physical therapy to optimal fitness, works with others to lose weight, has a lot of experience with prenatal and geriatric populations, trains clients with a history of back pain and joint replacements and so much more. Some of what distinguishes Mark from your average Personal Trainer is his advanced knowledge of the body, attention to detail, commitment to safety, years of experience working alongside healthcare professionals and Mark's unique skills as an advanced medical Massage Therapist to complement his Personal Training sessions.
DEEP TISSUE / SPORTS MASSAGE
Massage therapy sessions at On Your Mark may be very similar or exactly the same as an Active Release / Medical Massage session. We make the distinction because not all clients are looking for "medical" or "clinical" services because they are not injured or in any serious pain. Someone who needs a pre or post-marathon sports massage, a relaxing 45-minute head and neck treatment to relieve a headache or a back massage after a long business trip, may not want ART or think of the experience as a medical massage. Nonetheless, all of our Manual Therapy sessions, whether they are technically an Active Release / Medical Massage or a Massage Therapy session, may borrow techniques from a variety of disciplines to serve each client's unique needs on a given day.
