About
Active Therapeutics
Active Therapeutics is located
in Bend Oregon and is owned by Mark DeJohn and Carrie DeJohn.
Mark
DeJohn is the owner and founder of Active
Therapeutics. Mark is a Full-Body Certified Instructor
of ART, including upper body, lower body, spine, long nerve tract and
biomechanics. Combining his training in Swedish and deep-tissue massage
with ART, Mark uses his comprehensive knowledge and technique on patients
to get them pain free and active again.
"The efficiency of ART treatment gets results in half the amount
of visits than if you were to just use deep-tissue massage. And,
you don't have the extreme pain with ART that sometimes comes with treating
chronic injuries using only deep-tissue massage," says Mark.
"ART
is the essential missing link between an effective chiropractic
treatment and a massage. It ties the repairing the soft tissues with the
chiropractic adjustment. There is a huge need for this type of treatment
in Central Oregon, especially among the large community of serious and
professional athletes here in Bend."
Mark takes a great deal of pride in his work and approaches each client
with compassion. He strives to reduce the pain in people's lives in the
most efficient way possible with the least amount of pain.
Mark is an avid athlete who brings the understanding of many sports and
activities to his practice. Not everyone who practices ART is an active
athlete. To Mark, it's about more than just fixing the problem—it's
about understanding how the problem started in the first place. Mark takes
the time to educate his patients on their injury so they can avoid getting
hurt in the future and can understand how to heal faster.
Mark has worked with both professional and amateur athletes, including
triathletes, golfers, rock climbers, road and mountain bikers of all levels,
and Olympic athletes. He has treated a multitude of symptoms and diagnoses,
achieving the results demanded by the athletic community. Mark works with
family and specialized doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical
therapists and personal trainers to deliver a more integrative approach
and ensure that his clients get the more comprehensive treatment they
want and need.
Mark strives to bring the best soft-tissue care to his clients by making
sure that he is ever current in cutting-edge techniques and has the newest
knowledge available. An athlete himself participating in road and mountain
biking, hiking, and Nordic skiing, some of his professional highlights include:
