Mark has worked successfully with athletes from various sports where he uses his knowledge of human movement science to evaluate the way athletes move. His training develops the athlete’s ability to perform with optimal strength, power, agility and speed. Mark has also been able to work with clients who suffer from pain that had prevented them from being active in the past. By evaluating posture and movement he is able to identify muscle imbalances that can cause joint pain and muscle spasm. By implementing a corrective program to bring muscle balance to the joints pain can be reduced and proper movement established. This allows the body to become active and vigorous without pain.
