Proform MD - Miami, FL

Dan Marin, MD grew up as an athlete in the outdoor sunshine, playing every stick and ball sport possible as a kid. When not doing that he was fishing and diving in the South Florida Paradise.

His fascination with this environment, lead him to high school at MAST Academy where he excelled in Science and Math. In sport, he migrated toward rowing where he was a stand out leader and athlete. He was recruited to row in college, and was a division, 1A varsity collegiate rower at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.

His interest in science and the human condition led him to obtain his first degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Miami, where his lab work focused on protein analysis of intercellular GAP junctions. He wanted to be engaged with humans and science, which drove him to medical school at the University of Miami, where he was accepted and matriculated.

His interest in the surgical and medical side of being a physician led him to a transitional internship at Yale New Haven Hospital.

His interest in sport, biomechanics, and treating “the whole human” led him to residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, where he excelled and was elected Chief by his peers and faculty.

Spending much time as a resident at the world renowned Emory Orthopedic & Spine Center, and being exposed to mentors like Michael Schaufele MD and Kenneth Mautner MD, led him to a fellowship and career focusing on Interventional Spine, Sports and Non-Operative Care. While there he performed and published research in the area of outpatient interventional outcomes and safety.

Eventually, after being a faculty member at the University of South Florida in the Department of Neurosurgery, as well as consulting and in development of the arena of the human component in Motorsport; he and his wife moved back to South Florida where Dr. Marin, began private practice. Here he had the great opportunity to form a clinic based the musculoskeletal model/ chain, of which we all naturally live by. This was the foundation of ProformMD.

Dr Marin believes “deep down, we are all athletes, our cells/ body, want us to exercise, and this is the key to longevity… it’s our job as clinicians to provide the tools and remove obstacles for our patients to meet their goals and live better.” His professional directive has been to build an environment with all the highest quality professionals to accomplish this task.

Dr Marin has said, “When someone suffers an initial injury this can be an obstacle for function for the rest of their life.”

Proform ACTIV, aka ACTIV, was started to address this specific issue. Knowledge of regenerative tissue science and use of Orthobiologics through interventional orthopedic techniques to un impede patients and put them on the path to recovery is the philosophy of this component of the clinic. This is the first step to get back to your “athletic-self” if you have encountered injury, degenerative wear, or overuse. After treatment, focus can then be on getting back into normal motion, and then on raising the performance bar.

Dr Marin remains passionate everyday about making his patients the best musculoskeletal version of themselves science, technology and training can provide.
