Dr. Mark at Balance Beast Physical Therapy is truly one of a kind. I noticed immediate results after just my first session—something I’ve never experienced with other physical therapists. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable, making every visit both effective and enjoyable. His attention to detail is impeccable, and it’s clear he’s deeply committed to helping his patients heal and improve. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. Dr. Mark is a true expert in his field! Less

Long story, short: Excellent service, guidance, and results in an efficient and effective use of time. Slow clap, clap, clap. Well done, good sir.Long story, long:I had been suffering from lower back pain and several cascading injuries without relief—or frankly, empathy or effort—after months working with the PT department at a major local hospital system covered by my insurance.I went to Balanced Beast for a last effort consult, and within 15 minutes had received more actual physical therapy than in all of my previous visits to the other PT clinic combined. I was getting frustrated at driving across town and throwing away my copay to get a few minutes of regurgitated YouTube video content.At the worst, my chronic back pain was so debilitating I couldn't walk the dog or stand long enough to do the dishes. It had been recurring with brief reprieves over the past year.Dr. Mark worked to identify my actual problem and offer simple, replicable exercises designed specifically for my problem, not a general physical therapy that wasn't specific.He was clear in his communication, willing to engage in questions, and give me a better understanding of the root causes. Within days I was feeling less pain and seeing a path back to a more functional lifestyle. At the end of our planned sessions he offered a longer term template for continuing to not only improve my physical self but develop a preventative routine to expand upon.Despite my insurance not covering the physical therapy, I never left a session feeling as if I wasn't getting a great value, and ultimately, it was well worth it to have someone focuses on helping me achieve results.

I had weird nerve pain that perplexed my doctor and myself (as a yoga teacher for almost 20 years specializing in back pain) and dr mark was able to diagnose it and remedy it almost immediately! Would highly recommend! Less

I thought my days of feeling good and enjoying my sports was over. I tried for years to find success with Physical Therapy but nothing really addressed the root issue until I started working with Dr. Mark. We made break throughs the first day and the results actually last! I had stopped mountain biking, running, and doing jiu jitsu from the pain until I started working with Dr. Mark. Now I am back, pain free, and performing better every day! My back and neck pain are gone. I can feel my hamstrings and core strength again. If you want real results book an appointment with Dr. Mark. Less

I came to Mark because I was having issues with my shoulder and saw an advertisement on facebook saying that he can help. While I was skeptical due to previous experiences with physical therapy, I gave it a shot because I was getting desperate for relief. I was having problems sleeping because I couldn’t even lie down flat in my bed because of pain. To my surprise, Mark’s method was different. It was targeted and his methods were systematic. He didn’t just do a few checks and guide me through exercises for with weights and bands. Instead, through various mobility tests while pinpointing pain and seeing if we could get the pain to move through specific movement. Through this process, he was able to find the root cause of my pain and he developed a treatment plan. It turns out I didn’t have muscle pain in my shoulder, but nerve pain radiating from my neck. He then had me do some simple exercises albeit a little odd that gave me relief during my first session. Over the next couple weeks, my shoulder was completely better and we moved to getting mobility back in my neck and shoulders. I’m on week 5 and now have no pain, increased mobility, and my muscles in my neck and shoulder are finally relaxed. Mark is amazing and I recommend him to anyone suffering from pain. Thank you for the help Mark. Less

After a fusion of C3-C5 and adjacent disc degeneration, I've had years of traditional physical therapy that hasn't helped much. In only a few short sessions with Dr. Mark in using techniques outside of traditional physical therapy, he's gotten me to be able to move my neck and shoulders around with much less pain. He's reinvigorated my hope to be eventually pain free and have an increased quality of life. I look forward to being able to play sports with my kids for years to come. Thank you Dr. Mark! Less

I visited Dr Mark at the recommendation of a family member. He was thorough and talked through each step, educating me on what he was seeing and how the treatment will address the issue. I'm so appreciative and finally resolving some longstanding injuries. Thank you Dr. Mark! Less

Dr. Mark got me pain free from my ruptured L4/L5 discs in just a few sessions, after months of pain and time wasted at another PT center. His one-on-one practice is a game changer. You get his full attention the entire appointment. 100% endorsement. Less
