Mark graduated with his Physiotherapy degree from Dalhousie University in 1999. After spending 2 years working in Nova Scotia gaining experience and pursuing continuing education Mark and his wife Alison decided to move back to their hometown of Riverview, where they had a strong sense of community, to establish Davidson Physiotherapy in 2001. Part of Mark’s vision was to use his professional skillset as a means to serve his community beyond the clinic’s walls through community outreach and volunteerism.
