Dr. Mark Kozuki has been developing and refining the Kozuki Method since 2016, building on over two decades of hands-on experience with clients and patients. His work spans a wide spectrum—from elite athletes to stay-at-home parents—all seeking deeper healing, balance, and performance. Mark’s approach has played a key role in the careers of some of the world’s top athletes, including helping John John Florence and Tyler Wright secure back-to-back World Titles in 2016 and 2017. He was instrumental in Owen Wright’s remarkable recovery from traumatic brain injury, culminating in a Bronze medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. In 2016, he also supported Patrick Cantlay’s return from a serious back injury—contributing to Cantlay’s journey to becoming the world’s top-ranked golfer. Mark remains actively involved with World Surf League events and, in 2025, began formally teaching the Kozuki Method to practitioners and laypersons ready to expand their approach to healing and performance.
