Best massage, very happy with results. I have been suffering from neck and low back pain for months. Mark has been a tremendous help to my recovery. Tiffany G.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! There are not enough stars to give that would reflect the EXCELLENT service I received! I have been struggling with limited range of motion, pain, numbness, loss of motor control and spasms for months. Missed my massage appointment at home before coming down here for some R&R. Decided to try and find a place here to get a massage and see if I can get some relief while I continue to wait for my MD and insurance to order an MRI. Having no idea what was wrong beyond some compressed discs I found Mark. After 1 treatment I have improved about 90%!!! Additionally, he explained everything before he did it and provided a great amount of knowledge and teaching!!! I not only received EXCELLENT care, but I got a fantastic education as well! Andrew G.
As my instructor at a class to renew my massage license, I told Mark about an issue I was having with my thumb for the last 8 years. The pain in my thumb was so severe it prevented me from doing so much since I'm also an LMT. I had x-rays and an MRI taken, but it showed nothing. I went up to Mark during a short break in class to see what he thought about my chronic thumb issue. Literally in less than 60 seconds Mark fixed my thumb and the pain and swelling was gone! This man is AMAZING! Mark puts a lot of heart into his work, whether it's massaging or teaching. I'm so very grateful to him. Jan T.
The BEST massage therapist out there!!! I had been suffering with shoulder/biceps pain for over 6 months. I finally decided I should make an appointment for Physical Therapy and then I met Mark........ In 2 days time he made me feel like a million bucks! He is truly an expert in massage therapy and has an extensive knowledge of trigger point therapy. Not only is he smart, he is kind and compassionate. Kathy B.
On a recent trip to Daytona Beach, FL my back went very out. I had no idea who to go to for bodywork, and asked the manager of my building if she knew anyone. She referred me to Mark as she has known a number of people who were really happy with his work. I must say, he by far exceeded my expectations. Mark is a consummate professional. As he was working on many knotty areas in my musculature he was explaining the names of the muscles and what other parts of the body they affect. His treatment really delivered. I was instantly much better, and improved throughout the night. By 2 days later I was better than before my back went out. Mark teaches massage therapists and chiropractors at workshops at many locations and really knows his stuff. I highly recommend him. Barbara S.
IN THE CLASSROOM,
More than any class I have ever taken in my massage history, his will impact my orientation and practice significantly. I would attend any class taught by him.
His class was fascinating, due more to his presentation of the materials than the actual subject matter, although that I found intriguing too.
Very easy going and not boring. Mark is very thorough and knowledgeable about the topic.
Mark Bigelow is an excellent instructor. He is relaxed yet focused, and accomplishes a tremendous amount in a short space of two days.
This course has been one of the greatest revelations to my practice working with clients that suffer with lower back pain Susan M.
Your work and knowledge entitles you to an honorary doctorate in my book. Anil S.
Your presentation was the BEST one I attended at the conference. I have already forgotten what most of the other guys said, but much of your words have 'stuck' with me...that's because you make sense and your down to earth approach is refreshing and encouraging to someone who is new in the field. Totally inspirational! Lou Ann B.
His style made for an awesome learning experience. Paul Briggs, LMT
Instructor was the most knowledgeable I have ever been to. Loved everything today. Erin Funnell, LMT
Did it with the same instructor last time and brought so much more than I expected to my work. Amelie Gazzola, LMT
Excellent motivation. Excellent explanation of every topic. Lourdes Mann, LMT
Thanks so much for the class. It was almost refreshing to realize how much I don't know. You should be excited because you educated someone enough and turned the light on, making me a better therapist. Deanna Cuevas, LMT
Mark Bigelow is one of the finest instructors I’ve encountered. Vicki Butler, LMT
Your delivery was so engaging that I lost track of time. By any measure, you are a very effective and informed speaker and educator. I found your explanation of the sarcomere especially intriguing as was your model of it. I applaud your ability to use humor and your own experience to illustrate what might be difficult concepts. I can’t tell you how many times I heard your words coming out of my mouth when those on the table asked me a question. Thank you for deciding to be an educator. Linda Leacock, LOTR, LMT
He has the ability to take the most complex subject and break it down piece by piece so it’s easily understood. I owe the success of my practice to the information I’ve learned from his teachings. Carrie Byers, LMT
Everything he said was so clear and understandable it actually made sense. Bonnie Hardy,
