Instructors/Author BIO

Mark Senzig, BCTMB, MMT, CMT, is a National Board-Certified Massage Therapist and Educator

My work combines evidence-based biomechanics with hands-on clinical practice. I began exploring Eastern approaches to somatic health at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley (2003). In 2007, I graduated from the National Holistic Institute’s Professional Massage Program in Petaluma/Santa Rosa, earning Massage Therapist of the Year for Northern California.

I’ve run a thriving manual therapy practice since 2004. In 2011, I focused my practice on orthopedic and movement-based techniques, including Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal 210 Program. Today, I mentor and teach in Benicia and across Northern California, guiding therapists in advanced assessment and treatment strategies.
