    I highly recommend Mark Lusk and MVMT! After suffering from middle-agedness and hurting my back by simply moving and leaning over, Mark immediately diagnosed the issue and worked through with me what would be involved in my recovery. Prior to starting with MVMT, I wasnt able to put my shoes on or play with my dog, so Mark worked with me in the office and created a range of simple therapies I could replicate on my own at home. At no point did I feel like I was being forced into a long therapy regime or being left out of the loop. I was included in all conversations, and I was asked questions at every point. After three sessions, Mark explained that I was, of course, welcome to keep working through things with them, or if I felt like my recovery was going well, I could take some time and see how things go on my own. This kind of support is exactly what I was looking for in my physical therapy. I cant recommend MVMT more highly, and if I ever suffer from anything movement-related, Ill be right back!

    As a professional dancer, Ive had my fair share of injuries and have been to many (MANY) physical therapists over the past decade in New York City. Mark was referred to me by a fellow dancer and I am so grateful I visited MVMT. Previous doctors and physical therapists had thought my pain stemmed from a previous back injury, but thanks to Marks help (and his wonderful referrals to additional practitioners in acupuncture, orthopedics, and pain management), we discovered my issue stemmed from a labral tear in my hip. Comprehensive treatment from my whole team finally got me out of chronic pain and back in the game.
    Some physical therapists Ive seen are very formulaic...having you rate your pain (an impossible thing for a dancer!) and giving you a standard set of exercises. Mark is a different kind of physical therapist. He is incredibly knowledgeable and trained (and continues his education and teaching), has experience as a professional dancer, and truly listens and works with his patients where there at -- with their goal in mind (to get back to whatever activity they love). Every question I had was answered. Every day I came in in tears I felt safe, supported, and like someone was on my team, listening to me and helping me figure out how to get better.
    I cannot recommend MVMT enough. Mark, Theresa, Nikai, and Marks PT apprentices all make the MVMT experience so wonderful. Thank you, MVMT! I am so, so grateful!

    I was thrilled with my experience working with Mark! I was having back pain and spasms that prevented me from making it through a full day working from home without pain. This also limited how much I could attend Crossfit classes, which I had been doing for 3+ years. With Marks guidance, I was able to find proper standing postural alignment, a comfortable seated position at the desk, and implement this pain-free alignment across my Crossfit lifts. I am working at home with no pain and have fully returned to Crossfit! Mark armed me with a rehab plan and key exercises that I can always implement to help strengthen the weaker parts of my body (which are now getting stronger)! He is extremely knowledgeable and helped clearly explain why I was feeling the way I did. I highly recommend seeing Mark for any physical therapy needs - you will have a great outcome and enjoy working with him!

    I came back from vacation on crutches after jamming my ankle in a canyoning accident. Through careful and gradual progressions, Mark got me back to walking, squatting, jumping, running, even dancing onstage for a performance! He was always available to answer my questions and gave me the tools I needed to recover. I am so grateful for his knowledge, warmth and encouragement that got me back on two feet!

    As a Broadway performer and an avid outdoor sports enthusiast, there are a varied and diverse degree of demands I make on my body. After a surgery, 3 physical therapists, and over 2 years of struggling through a major back injury, working with MVMT Physical Therapy was the key turning point in my recovery. Many physical therapists will pair their practice with a particular occupational specialty, but Mark is the first practitioner I have worked with that integrates the nuance of an expertise in dance technique with a sports, strength training, and athletic prowess. His one-of-a-kind vantage point created a process that has given me confidence in a lasting maintenance and sustainability. Mark created a bespoke approach to my needs and because of his nimbleness I can reclaim a full and active life.

    I came to MVMT with so much back pain that I was unable to touch my hands to my knees let alone touch my hands to my toes. I had been dealing with a lumbar spine injury for about five years and was significantly frustrated that I had yet to find PT that worked well for me. As a professional dancer, I was convinced that my career was to be stunted and or finished. I am so happy I found MVMT and Mark Lusk. Through an advanced training and therapy schedule, Mark has me up and moving after four months. I feel a restored sense of self and a new appreciation for my body that I otherwise would not have found. I cannot recommend MVMT enough!
