“You are NOT broken, and you are NOT fragile.”

Nine surgeries, more than thirty doctors for a single injury, and a career built on refusing the advice to stop. That is the experience behind how Dr. Marv trains and treats people.

What people say

He didn’t just hand me generic stretches. After a thorough movement assessment, he figured out what was going on and built a routine specifically for what I needed. I started noticing the difference fast. … Genuinely one of the most effective rehab experiences I’ve had (and I have had MANY).

Austin Stout Bodybuilder
At 45 years old, after 10 surgeries on my right leg—including screws in my hip and ankle and a rod in my previously shattered femur—I was hitting PRs on the hack squat while following Dr. Marv’s programming. … He isn’t simply trying to get you out of pain. He understands how to help you rebuild capacity, regain confidence in your body, and ultimately perform at a level you may not have thought was still possible. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Lukas Rosov Amateur bodybuilder & coach
He followed up with me several times to check on my progress and offered additional troubleshooting suggestions. … If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested professional who bridges the gap between rehab and getting back to training hard, Dr. Marvin is exactly who you want in your corner. There is no one I trust more.

Paige Wirtz IFBB professional bodybuilder
I was dealing with significant shoulder pain at the front delt and A/C joint, which as a competitive bodybuilder hindered my posing. After literally ONE remote session with Dr. Marv, my shoulder felt a million times better. Plus, thanks to his tip, my back looks literally inches wider in my poses.

Glen Lenihan Competitive bodybuilder
He spent over an hour with me on a video call … and identified some mobility issues that I hadn’t even realized were contributing to the problem. After our call, he sent me a 17-page document with protocols and exercises specific to what we discussed. I honestly wasn’t expecting that level of detail!

Michelle Andreas Video consultation client
It’s not just injuries and rehab. He really understands movement, biomechanics, strength training, performance, and how to keep training intelligently when you’re dealing with an injury. … I’ve also learned a lot from his bodybuilding anatomy course, online content, and podcasts through The Educated Meathead.
