The Therapist

Paul grew up in Lawrence, Kansas. He graduated from Oklahoma University with a Bachelor degree in Physical Therapy in 1983, with emphasis on spinal dysfunction. Through the process of continuing education, he has studied practically every school of thought when it comes to treatment of the neck and back. MacKenzie, Grimsby, Porterfield, Maitland, and Sahrmann are not familiar names to the general public, but they are great foundations for the care of patients with pain in the spine.

Paul has had the privilege to live in Arizona, Michigan and Montana before returning to Lawrence. Living in the desert, Great Lakes, and the Rocky Mountains provided him with the opportunity to adapt his treatments to the varied weather conditions and demographics. Each treatment process is individually designed to reach the most efficient and effective results.

Upon returning to Lawrence, Paul worked for a clinic in Topeka, which provided the opportunity to learn and work with the MedX equipment. Skeptical at first, Paul quickly developed a practical system for care of the back and neck, based on his previous continuing education and clinical experience.

In early 2003, Paul found himself in the favorable position to open Marks Physical Therapy.
