Meet the team
Mark Frank, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist & Co-Founder
NCBTMB Certified
Mark Frank is a licensed massage therapist and co-founder of St. Louis Institute for Rehabilitative and Sports Massage. With decades of hands-on experience, Mark specializes in structural and rehabilitative bodywork that addresses the root causes of pain and dysfunction — not just the symptoms.
Background & Philosophy
Mark's approach to massage therapy is rooted in a deep understanding of the body's structural systems. He believes that lasting relief comes from treating the whole person — addressing the fascial network, muscular imbalances, and movement patterns that contribute to chronic pain and restricted mobility.
Over the course of his career, Mark has worked with a wide range of clients — from competitive athletes seeking peak performance and faster recovery, to individuals managing chronic conditions, post-surgical rehabilitation, and age-related mobility challenges.
Mark holds certification from the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and is committed to the highest standards of professional practice and continuing education. He regularly advances his training in emerging bodywork techniques to bring the most effective care to every session.
