Thank you for visiting my site, my name is Mark Skoyles and I'm
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 therapists in numerous sports injury,
deep tissue and remedial massage treatments. I take an active interest in 'movement therapies' and am a
qualified Pilates Instructor. I believe structured movement is a key factor in injury rehabilitation, injury prevention
and a healthy lifestyle in general.
