Mark Pearlscott, BS, LMP, IOC WA Lic# MA00012592 Philosophy of Healing The more I learn, the more I want to share what I have learned about the body with other people. Why are so many people suffering with unnecessary chronic pain? Part of the answer is lack of good information. I want to share knowledge of how and why the body experiences pain, and how one can relieve the pain. I can't figure out why this information is not taught in schools to our children. Information about how to keep our bodies healthy and free from pain is not currently common knowledge... but it should be. Learn, Heal, Share... That is my philosophy. Continuing Education
My Background I enrolled and attended classes at Seattle Massage School (which became Ashmead College, and now is called Everest Institute), finishing their massage program in February of 1999 with a 4.0 grade point average. I passed the state exam the following month, and became a licensed massage practitioner (LMP) in the state of Washington. My clinical focus is on managing and eliminating pain (chronic pain and acute pain cases), injury rehabilitation, and correcting soft tissue dysfunction (including poor posture and postural distortions) for my clients. I feel that this work is very important to improving the quality of life for each individual, and helping them live life to the fullest. Personal Interests & Life My wife and I have two children. Children are technically not a hobby, but they do keep us busy like one. I am constantly amazed by them, and their voracious appetite for life. They continues to be a source of personal growth for me, stretching me as a parent and an individual. I am an avid fan and practitioner of yoga & pilates. I started practicing yoga in 2003 after a serious back injury. Yoga, pilates, and massage have helped me recover fully, and continue to make me stronger and more flexible. As part of my quest for becoming a more fit individual, I also use kettlebells. These very simple devices are extremely effective at transforming your weakness into strength. You can read more about kettlebells on the resource page dedicated to them. I've also branched out into other equipment such as clubbells and sandbags. Part of it is that they use the full body for the excersize, and part is that you can do your entire workout in a very short time. Less body-oriented, I enjoy motorcycling. I started riding somewhere around 1995, and the passion or obsession has continued. I currently enjoy escaping on sunny days for rides around the Sound, or out in the mountains. Any sunny day where it is not snowing or raining, is a day that I'm dreaming of being out on two wheels. I also enjoy a variety of other hobbies such as movie watching, reading, computer programming, bicycling, playing with our dog, and keeping a collection of snakes. Of course a new interest can crop up at anytime. I've got to keep my options open! |
