"As someone who works out hard 4-6 times a week running, lifting weights or doing other HIIT training, I can beat my body up often. I’ve gone to Mark several times for massage therapy work and it’s been re”MARK”able. Specifically Mark, helped me recover from a back injury after a nasty slip off my porch during the winter with a combination of stretching techniques and massage therapy work. More recently, Mark helped me get through some pain issues with angry shoulders, neck, hip flexors and IT bands. He's offered healing hands through my active lifestyle, stress of work & life as well as need for a self-maintenance day. Mark listens and takes cues from you. You get to decide if you need a quiet session or are up for comfortable conversation. Mark can accommodate either. He checks in with you, asks for feedback and responds to what your needs are that day. Mark is truly a healer and one of the best restorative massage therapists around. His unique technique, keen intuition and positive energy combine to provide a healing method that is incredibly soothing. On many levels, Mark can tell you what your body needs and then can customize treatment when needed to help ease pain and feel better about yourself. It’s a huge privilege to have Mark as my massage therapist. --Christina L. 9/15

“ I met Mark back in September as I've spent the last 10+ years looking for a therapist that can help me with my chronic back stiffness and neck pain. I'm grateful to have found a true gem! I will look no further! It's an understatement to say that he is a master in his field. He's not just doing his job-he clearly wants to help improve the well being of his client. He is patient and caring. He listens and applies his extensive knowledge of human anatomy at each session, in addition to offering suggestions to help maintain positive results after my visit. Mark uses therapeutic techniques -he's mindful and interactive, ensuring I'm comfortable with the pressure, always introducing something new, based on my body's needs at that moment. After having completed a handful of sessions, Im feeling the impact of @Mark Patterson's MyoMaven Therapuetic Massage and Bodywork myomaven.com
I have total faith that Mark will be the one to heal me! His genuine, positive energy is one of a kind. Thank you, Mark! “

“ Mark is a massage muscle genius. I have gone to him for the past 2 years. As a Physical Therapist I often get hurt, but am never anxious because I know Mark will figure out exactly which muscles are causing it and within the next day or two things will be better. His hands know instinctively where to go and the pressure needed. Afterward he will give me stretches, exercises, whatever is needed. You never feel rushed and the place is extremely calming. If you have pain or just need to destress and relax . I highly recommend Mark. “
