About Me 
Mark Skoyles BSc, MHFST, MSMA

Thank you for visiting my site, my name is Mark Skoyles and I am a Sports Therapist.  I first became involved in sports therapy as a profession in 1998, when I started working at Marlow Football Club, treating 1st team players before, during and after matches.  Its a job I still enjoy doing today, dealing with matchday injuries and treating players coming back from injury.  Helping men & women return fully fit to their sport, at whatever level is a particular passion of mine.

 

In 2005 I spent 2 months in Thailand and completed an advanced course in Thai Massage.  Being there made me appreciate the culture and differences in philosophy between Western and Eastern medicine, and I incorporate the best of both in my treatments.

 

Back in the UK I have a BSc (Hons) in Sports Therapy from London Metropolitan University and have trained with leading US & UK doctors, osteopaths, physiotherapists and massage therapists in numerous sports, deep tissue and remedial massage treatments.  I take an active interest in 'movement therapies' as i believe structured movement is a key factor in injury rehabilitation, injury prevention and a healthy lifestyle in general.  Pilates is a great 'exercise therapy and recently qualified as a Matwork Pilates Instructor.  

 

I am a member of the Sports Massage Association (12519), the International Council of Health, Fitness & Sports Therapists and registered and insured with the Federation of Holistic Therapists (94363).  Clients with complementry health cover with PRUhealth are covered for treatments with me.

In the Far East the focus is very much on prevention of illness in a holistic sense, focusing on balance in diet, fitness and general lifestyle – in Thailand massage is an integral part of that.  I think western culture has been more focused on cures for illnesses rather than prevention - “I’ll worry about that when it comes to it”, “I’m too busy to think about relaxing!” etc.  Thankfully in an increasingly hectic world, I think people in the west are starting to think more and more about their wellbeing.
