Hi, I’m Mark Mottillo, MPT, and I founded MuscleMend Physical Therapy in Bonita Springs, Florida, to offer a more personal and hands-on approach to recovery from debilitating injuries suffered during athletic performance and everyday life. I’ve spent over 30 years working in the orthopedic and sports medicine physical therapy industries, with a focus on helping people move better, feel stronger, and return to doing what they love.
My path into physical therapy started after earning a BS in Marketing from Penn State in 1986, but it was my passion for helping others and a desire to better understand the musculoskeletal system that led me to pursue a Master’s in Physical Therapy from Slippery Rock University in 1992. Since then, I’ve focused my career on soft tissue mobilization, manual therapy, and tailored exercise programs that deliver fast and long-lasting relief of pain, discomfort, and limited mobility.
I’m a former Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and currently a Graston Technique Provider. Over the years, I’ve worked with both surgical and non-surgical cases, always aiming to treat and address the root cause, not just provide temporary relief for recurring symptoms. For 20 years, I owned and operated a private clinic in Western Pennsylvania, where I had the privilege of helping countless patients regain mobility and confidence. At this new venture with MuscleMend PT in Bonita Springs, my goal is simple: provide high-quality, individualized care that actually makes a difference without the hurdles and confusion of insurance-based therapy.
At MuscleMend Physical Therapy, I do more than treat symptoms; I tailor each treatment plan using a unique combination of manual therapy techniques, soft tissue work, and functional exercise to accelerate recovery and optimize performance by attacking the root cause. With extensive experience in both general orthopedic care and sports-specific rehab, I understand how to get patients back to peak levels of performance, whether that means returning to the field or simply moving through daily life or office work without debilitating pain and mobility restrictions.
Unlike traditional insurance-based clinics, I’ve opened MuscleMend Physical Therapy to offer my patients more immediate access to care and a more individualized treatment plan without the delays, limitations, or confusion of third-party billing. My goal is to get you feeling better, faster, with fewer sessions, more attention, and a direct path to lasting results. Contact me today to learn more about my services and availability!
