Marcus is a magician. I first went to him because of issues w/ my Psoas muscle...I had so much pain in my back and hip that I couldn't sleep, and my range of motion was becoming so limited I was starting to limp. I walked in limping, and left feeling so great I jogged back afterward. I saw a number of other bodywork practitioners before Marcus, but none of them could create a substantive and sustained psoas release.
"Massage" is a severe reduction of what Marcus does. In my first session he said, "This will be 1/3 anatomy class...because for every part of your body I work on, I'll tell you what that muscle is, why I'm working on it, why it's causing pain, etc.., 1/3 bodywork (massage, cupping AND fascia scraping), and 1/3 lamaze class, because you're going to need to breathe through all of this...
Every time I leave a session with Marcus I'm lighter, looser, and feeling like a million bucks. If you train in BJJ, you must see him. And if you don't, you can trust that if he's creating such great outcomes with clients in such a physically rigorous sport, he can work miracles with whatever you're...

As a jiujitsu practitioner, I needed therapy tailored to my specific needs, most massage or chiropractor do not address fascial specific patterns and are only a temporary solution. Marcus employs his own style of bodywork, incoporating various methods to help restore fascial function and mobility in the body. In just a couple of sessions, he has effectively healed a number of my longstanding injuries. When I sprained my left rib, he was able to restore its function in just one visit. His work is novel and effective, I recommend a visit to Marcus for not just jiujitsu practitioners but to anyone looking for an effective...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI've been to many massage therapists in my life. After 1 massage with Marcus, I have to place Marcus in the top tier of massage therapists in New York City. My lower body had been tight for years and it limited my ability to do the most basic workouts. I went to occupational therapists, physical therapists, personal trainers and none of them have been able to increase the range of motion the way Marcus has. After 1 session with him, my hips feel reborn and I'm finally able to workout without pain. Thank you, Marcus, for being a diamond in the haystack. He cares so much about his clients and has a wealth of knowledge. Don't wait. Just book your...
