Dr. Mark Blank
Dr. Mark Blank started his career in Sports Medicine as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) in 2008, where he worked with University of Central Florida’s Football team, followed by working for the then San Diego Chargers specializing in the prevention and treatment of sports injuries. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2012.
As a Physical Therapist, Dr. Blank worked for a large Physical Therapy company where he managed multiple outpatient clinics in South Florida, followed by becoming the Director of Rehab for a smaller private outpatient clinic where he could focus more on the quality of patient care. He then went on to open and run a Sports Medicine-Physical Therapy clinic for slightly larger company that focused more on sports rehab. Dr. Blank then decided to take all of this experience and open Prime Sports Performance and Therapy where he could continue to focus on skilled, hands-on orthopedic and sports therapy.
Dr. Blank earned his certification in orthopedic manual therapy (COMT), along with multiple other certifications including trigger point dry needling, kinesiotaping, as well as Functional Movement screening, and Selective Functional Movement Assessment.
