SoftWave treatments by Aidan at MRT helped relieve my knee pain and my daughter’s shoulder pain. He was knowledgeable, genuinely cared about our progress, and helped us get back to our regular activities. I’ve recommended MRT to others based on my experience.

Thank you so much to Mark, Craig, Aidan and the entire team — for helping me during a time when I felt like nothing could help anymore.
I had been struggling with neck pain and TMJ pain for more than six months. Even after attending traditional physical therapy, the pain never fully went away, and I honestly didn’t know what else to try. It was emotionally exhausting and started affecting my everyday life and activities — even a simple hike would make things worse.
After just a few sessions, I already felt significant relief. And now, I’ve been able to return to my normal activities again, including working comfortably at the computer.
What I appreciate most about MRT is their approach. They don’t just apply standard methods — they really try to understand the root cause of the problem and help correct the underlying muscle imbalances. I also appreciate that everyone there is kind, supportive, and genuinely wants to help.
If you’re struggling with muscle pain or tension issues, I highly recommend reaching out to MRT. I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done for me.

I’m so incredibly grateful for Mark Rise and his ability to get me back to doing what I love most running. About seven months ago, I was in a terrible horse accident. My knee was slammed into a metal fence, and a nail punctured it. Not only was my knee seriously injured, but my entire body was tight and in pain from the impact. After just one appointment with Mark, I felt a noticeable difference. He gave me targeted exercises and guidance that truly helped my recovery. With his support, I’ve continued to improve and regain my strength. I can’t thank him enough for helping me get back on my feet and back to running.

Softwave at MRT has helped me more than any other treatment I’ve received!
I’ve spent years managing significant pain throughout my spine. I’ve tried many things for it, from massage and physical therapy to ice baths and even steroid injections. Softwave is hands down the most effective and least invasive therapy I’ve tried. I experienced immediate improvement in my mobility and have been able to be more physically active than I have in years. It’s hard to adequately express my gratitude. Thank you Aidan, Mark, and the rest of the MRT crew!

My husband and I saw Mark for hip and back pain. Could not believe the results. Able to sleep at night. Walk without pain. No pills or major workouts. Are able to help ourselves with just a few pointers that he has taught us. Thank you for helping us enjoy our golden years again.

I first came to see Mark for help with my TMJ by referral from my dentist.
I’ve had TMJ for over 10 yrs and managed it fairly well until I recently had a major spasm that caused my jaw to stay locked for nearly a week. The pain was unbearable and I couldn’t open my jaw wide enough to eat anything except liquids/ soft foods.
After one visit he cut my pain in half and got my range of motion in my jaw back to about 75%.
He explained that the issue was not where I was feeling the pain (right jaw joint), but rather due to weak muscles on the left side of my jaw and back which were causing my right jaw to over compensate.
After only 5 visits not only is my jaw pain completely gone but my back feels stronger and my mobility is back!
Highly recommend!!

Mark and the team at Muscle Restoration are excellent! I came in with back pain that was difficult to diagnose, and Mark was patient and took the time to understand the root problem. He worked to get my back feeling better, not only through skilled care, but also by educating me. He helps you learn how to address back problems at home so that you stay healthy in the long run. So grateful for his care and expertise! I have already recommended Mark to several other people!

I was diagnosed with a Morton’s neuroma in my left foot about six months ago. I headed straight to my local orthopedic center and they told me to wear some inserts and give it a couple months of limiting my exercises that bother it. I had no change, in fact was getting worse when I thought to call Mark.
Within minutes he found the root cause of my Neuroma. He is looking at it totally differently than anyone else and I have been pain free for almost a week with no inserts in my shoes and I even went for a run and had no pain! Mark gave me homework and I’m doing it religiously! I’m so glad I called Mark!

I trashed my back playing golf and was literally crippled for 2 weeks when a friend recommended Mark at MRT. Although skeptical I knew the normal choices, doctor, PT or chiropractor would not solve the problem so I made an appointment and met with Mark. Within 3 weeks I was out of pain and after 6 weeks the problem was solved. My issue was severe so it took some time to get over it. I’m glad I went and you will be too. I highly recommend MRT for chronic pain.![]()

I absolutely recommend Mark Rise at Muscle Restoration Therapy! I love running but hadn’t been able to run for over 10 months. After getting an MRI, I was told I might have a joint disease, which was discouraging. I went to see Mark ONE time, and after evaluating my knee and body, he gave me specific exercises using a power massager. I started them right away, and within 2 weeks I was able to complete my first 3-mile run completely pain-free. Now I’m back to running 4–5 days a week! I’ve continued doing the exercises Mark gave me, along with red light therapy at MRT twice a week, and my progress has been incredible. I can’t thank Mark enough for helping me get back to something I love. Highly recommend!![]()

I had what I called “leg-butt” and Mark tested me, advised me in what I need to do and it took care of the pain. Now what I need to do is a part of my daily routine and have remained pain free. I so appreciate Mark and the help he has given me. Thanks!![]()

Working with Mark, Craig, and Jonah has been a great experience for me. They have helped me to feel better and be at my best. I have less pain and improved flexibity. Bonus, I sleep better as well. Give them a try you will enjoy the results! I have been taking Algae Cal Plus & Strontium Boost for 6 months my doctor was impressed with my big improvement. I hope more people will try these products, they work! JRG![]()

Mark is a genius I say! By far the best I’ve ever had. Really knows his stuff ! Fixed me physically and mentally as far as my back is concerned! Had good advice and the only one that wanted to watch me load and unload my equipment. Gave me an exercise routine that I do in a chair that you wouldn’t even know I’m doing for the most part. Others only told me to get new job!![]()

The team at MRT are fantastic. From the day you start with them you can immediately see & feel their passion to help you get better. They talk you through everything they are doing & empower you to do your homework and see the results. When my back proved to be more stubborn than initially diagnosed they added in the SoftWave therapy and that was an awesome decision! Several areas in my back began to respond so quickly to this treatment. This is a committed group of health professionals!![]()

At 14 years old, I was struggling with Osgood-Schlatter disease and thought I’d be stuck wearing orthotics for the rest of my life. That’s when I met Mark from Muscle Restoration, and he completely changed my perspective on healing. His techniques didn’t just mask the pain—they actually fixed the problem. I was blown away. Nearly a decade later, I came back to Mark with a shoulder injury, and once again, he worked his magic. His expertise is unmatched, and his dedication to truly helping people is even more impressive. Amazing service, even better man. Recommended 11/10 Ps. The new office is amazing!
