I first went to see Mark for IT Band issues that were impacting my ability to run. Virtually immediately, I felt results. Mark quickly found the issue and addressed it. At the same time, I had developed plantar fasciitis due to compensation issues from the IT band. Mark found the areas impacted and resolved that as well. After a series of sessions the plantar fasciitis was gone! As a long distance runner, I run upwards of 50-60 miles per week. I am now on a regular maintenance schedule to prevent such issues from becoming debilitating again. I cannot say enough about Mark's talent for finding issues and resolving them. Many times he finds areas that I didn't even know were issues so he is able to work it out BEFORE it becomes an issue. Regular massages are now part of my overall training and fitness routine! Thank you Mark!

When I first met Mark it was after a serious auto crash where I sustained multiple injuries to my back, neck, and shoulders. I was in debilitating pain and taking multiple prescriptions just to get through the day. My doctors set me up with a specialist. This is where I met Mark Hayward working with the doctor as a neuromuscular therapist. There was also another massage therapist that I was originally assigned to. I had several sessions with this therapist, but received no relief from the pain and soreness, and it didn't seem promising. That is, until one day the other therapist was out sick and I was assigned to Mark. After a thorough discussion about my conditions he set to work on trying to give me some relief from the pain. All I can say is that from that very first session it was astounding! He immediately zeroed in on all the trigger areas. It was really amazing. I believe that there are a lot of massage therapists that go through the motions, but Mark just intuitively knew all the places to work on. I began to feel immediate relief from my pain as of my very first session. I actually got up off the table, stood straighter, and had a significantly increased range of motion in my neck. After months of pain, this to me was truly like a miracle. I even was able to reduce and ultimately stop taking my pain meds. Needless to say I continued working with Mark and he made possible some remarkable recoveries from my injuries. Each session he would talk to me about how I was feeling and where I was hurting, and he customized our sessions to target those areas. He was always very concerned, friendly, easy to talk with, and very professional. There is no question in my mind about his skills. He is totally knowledgeable about the human muscular/skeletal system and I have learned a lot from him. He is skilled in a number of massage techniques. I would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone who is suffering from pain, soreness, or just wants first rate relaxing massage! Thank you Mark!

Mark Hayward is a knowledgeable and experienced massage therapist. I recently moved to the area, and I was experiencing a lot of pain from a previous accident. I had already been to a massage therapist in the area, and it was a bad experience. Thus, I was cautious about booking a massage with Mark. However, when I met Mark my mind was put at ease. The thing that impressed me the most about my first visit was the time Mark took to hear about my condition and examine me before beginning the massage. He also had the experience to adjust the type of massage he performed according to how my body responded. The time he takes each session to hear my concerns and work toward healing is something I am confident he exhibits with all his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a massage. His knowledge and experience is evident and far above average. Thank you Mark! ~Joy C.

Mark is a truly attentive and skillful massage therapist. He really listens to what you need and he asks all the right questions. He really cares about making you feel better, alleviating any problems and sources of pain that you are dealing with, all while giving a pleasurable and effective massage. He is absolutely one of the best message therapists out there. I have never been disappointed and neither will you!
