About us

You could say Dr. Mark took the road less traveled when he began his journey and chose a career in physical therapy. Mark discovered his passion for helping people find relief from pain when he, himself, experienced a back injury while playing baseball in his 20’s. After recovering from his back injury, Mark was determined to learn more about the profession that helped him so much. He chose to leave a job driving dump trucks in Lake Charles, LA to take advantage of an opportunity to become a PT Technician for the same PT who helped him rehabilitate from his injury.

Mark’s supervisor and mentor encouraged him to continue his dream and enroll in PTA school at Delgado Community College in New Orleans, LA knowing Mark’s passion for making a difference in pain-free movement and mobility to improve quality of life. After 5 years of utilizing his PTA license in both outpatient and home health settings, Mark received his Bachelor’s Degree from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA on his journey to becoming a Physical Therapist.

Mark attended the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in St. Augustine, FL specializing in manual therapy techniques and he received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2008. Mark met his wife, Angie, also a graduate of the University of St. Augustine, and they married in 2009. Mark and Angie are now settled in Ozark, MO with 2 children where they have been an integral part of the home health community. Mark discovered the importance of individualized care and how one-on-one treatments were vital to patient progress and outcomes.

Though it wasn’t the easiest route to take, Mark has seen his dream to become a PT come full circle and is now proud owner of One On One Physical Therapy on the historical Ozark Square. Mark, not only a manual therapist, is also certified in Softwave Tissue Regeneration Technology. Mark brings his southern charm to the Heart of the Ozarks and is looking forward to working one-on-one with you to get you back to moving without pain.
