Meet the Team

Moyan phillips (founder)

Myotherapist & Strength & Conditioning

After completing an Arts degree with a major in Politics I remember thinking, ok, now what am I really going to do?

Then through some serendipitous Googling I discovered Myotherapy. It was a perfect fit. I loved learning about anatomy and the design of the human body. I loved watching anatomy transform from the textbooks to the wetalbs.

I was fascinated by the way asymmetries in biomechanics lead to injury and so impressed by how a skillfully placed thumb with just the right amount of pressure at just the right angle could alleviate pain in such an injury. What an amazing design!

After working as a myotherapist for 5 years I was introduced to
