Mark Smith specializes in an advanced technique for Myofascial Release using the John Barnes Method.

He comes to us from Spokane, Washington where he had his own practice for several years. Mark developed a treatment for helping clients be free of chronic pain called Myofascial Release 4 Chronic Pain. He focuses on treating people who have been in chronic pain for months and have tried all else and not gotten permanent pain relief.

Mark’s philosophy for treating patients:

“It never made sense to me to think that I can help someone get out of pain by treating them with a modality that causes pain. I work with each patient to make sure that the treatment does not cause new pain or make existing pain worse.”
