Marcus believes that an understanding of both the injury and the context of a patient's problem is the key to the successful resolution of musculoskeletal complaints. By working with and listening carefully to his patients in relation to their conditions he involves his patients in the awareness and management of the various factors that can aid their recovery.

To compliment his approach Marcus utilises various modalities and manual therapy skills.
