"Mark's
caring hands have been key to my racing success over the last three years.
The Active Release Techniques and Sports Massage treatments keep my body
running smoothly and pain free. During normal training, I'll see him once
a week; and during hard training or racing, I'll have two treatments a
week. The ART is very effective; it "works" right away and gets
rid of my soft-tissue problems at the core level. He even helped me improve
my swim stroke. Thanks!"

"Mark takes care of more than just elite athletes and those wholly dedicated to physical activity. While I am not an inactive person, you could call me someone who likes to maintain a level of physical fitness 5-6 days per week appropriate for a proud senior citizen. Hearing about Mark’s talents with ART from a friend is what gave me the incentive to make that first phone call since I wasn't sure, after more than 20 years of continuous back/neck/shoulder pain, trying something else could help after being disappointed by a variety of previous treatments. I was also concerned about a torn rotator cuff being adversely affected by any treatments, especially one that was brand new to me."
"In looking to the positive side of life, I met Mark and began an individualized treatment program in mid-December 2010. I “graduated” this April. The results are amazing: 24/7 generalized burning pain has been alleviated, specific muscles refusing to “give up the fight” are better to the point that the constant pain previously endured only remains for a short time if a flare up occurs. To feel so much better and be able to return to most of my previous activities is nothing short of miraculous. I will certainly return to Mark for follow up if needed; in the meantime, I would encourage anyone in discomfort who has tried many other options in the past without success to call Mark and discover if ART can help you."
Thank you,
Candace

"Mark
has definitely helped me train more and race faster with Active Release
Techniques. During race season, my hip flexors, hamstrings and IT bands
are so tight that my range-of-motion and performance are limited. The
pain is so bad that sometimes that I lose my concentration from feeling
like my legs or back will cramp up and take me out of training or a race.
After just one Active Release Techniques appointment with Mark, I felt
better. After a few sessions, my muscles were moving and working more
freely and without pain. Mark allowed me to return to my normal training
plan which helped me to win the Pole, Pedal, Paddle again in 2007.
Since then, whenever I feel tight or beat up, I rely on Mark to help me
get back on my feet - and skis. As an athlete who also has a day job,
I'm always busy. Training and working take up so much of my day that I
really have to prioritize. Active Release Techniques is not an option
for me. It's time well spent that makes all the difference in my athletic
performance and how I feel everyday. The treatment is quick and not only
relieves pain immediately; it gets to the core problem and releases tightness
to keep me out of pain longer. Thanks Mark!"

“I’m sold on Active Release Techniques to keep me running and injury free. As an ultra runner, I typically run 80 to 100 miles a week, so my body is constantly on the edge. I first came to Active Therapeutics with a chronic hamstring issue, which I’d torn 10 months prior and was still in pain with knots and tightness that other therapies were not able to address. In a couple of treatments, they were able to target the core injury and release the muscle groups so that I had even better range of motion than I had before the tear—and no pain! Now I go to Active Therapeutics for preventative treatment to keep me at my peak performance.”

I am very pleased with your work on my foot. The pain in my big toe and unrelated ankle pain caused me to stop many activities that I enjoy. After 4 surgeries the past 35 years to correct my ankle condition I have lost a lot of flexibility. I consulted two orthopedic doctors and another doctor for good solutions and learned that the pain in my large toe and ankle was from arthritis. Their solution was to fuse the two joints. My further search introduced me to you and your discipline of Active Release Techniques. You discovered that the pain in my toe was complicated by tight muscles that control my toes. In the short course of your work, you brought more flexibility to my ankle thus lessening the pain and eliminated the pain in my toes. We obviously did not cure the arthritis but now I have more time without pain to do the things that I enjoy doing. It was money well spent – thanks!

Thank you for supporting my participation in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. It was an incredible 60-mile journey and I have so many wonderful memories. The Boston event raised over 4 million dollars for Breast Cancer Research! Day one started in pouring rain and mud which turned into many blisters! The medics helped us take care of them, and we kept on walking. The second day I developed some shin splints, but no matter, with all the thousands of people cheering us on we kept walking. The third day was mighty hot & humid, but again we kept on walking. The sights of Boston were beautiful. From Lexington and Arlington, to Harvard Square, to beautiful colonial homes, to Boston Commons, to the shoreline we saw so many wonderful and historical sights. There were sweep vans asking us if we wanted a ride, but we said "No way" because we knew with every step we are getting closer to a cure. On every corner there was another story and another family being affected by this terrible disease cheering us on. The closing ceremony after 60 miles was amazing. We forgot the pain, and were so glad to be there in the birthplace of America being a part of something so important. When I walked in the "Survivor Walk" with so many others who were commited to ending cancer it was a moment I'll never forget.
Because of your generosity, and the support of all of my donors, "Mardi's Mission" raised $17,000.00 to help end breast cancer. For more information about the 3-Day and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, visit www.The3Day.org.
Thank you for making this possible. My team is thinking about San Diego next year, I hope you can join us!

Mardi
