Instrument Assisted Sports Massage

Purposes of Instrument Assisted Sports Massage

We provide an alternative to the traditional sports massage treatment that includes instruments-assisted massage techniques.

This technique utilizes special stainless steel tools with particular shapes and dimensions to fit all the body’s muscles, joints, and tendons.

Thanks to these tools, we can ease faster and better all the possible muscle tension, stiffness, and knots. With these tools, we can reduce the number of sections and so speed up the recovery time.

Our Instrument Assisted Sports Massage is a beneficial treatment for many circumstances:

  1. Scar Tissue.
  2. Soft Tissue Adhesions.
  3. Post Sports Injury.
  4. Post-Hip Surgery.
  5. Muscle Tear.
  6. Tendon Calcification.
  7. Plantar Fasciitis.
  8. Foot Pain.

This special sports therapy utilizes a special technique called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization ( IASTM ) that aims to reduce pain and increase mobility.

By mobilising the soft tissue, we stimulate a localised inflammatory response.

This has the potential for reabsorption of fibrotic tissue and facilitation of the healing process.

Instrument-Assisted Soft tissue Mobilisation, is more effective than the Muscle Scraping Therapy, which utilises the same tools, but it is a less thorough treatment as it acts mainly on the skin and first layer of muscles.

This treatment is perfect for remodelling scar tissue and reducing adhesions that are common issues after a muscle injury that has not been treated properly.

These tools can facilitate both soft tissue mobilisation and myofascial release.

Sometimes there is particular muscle tension, mainly the older ones, that only with massage techniques is very difficult to treat and needs many treatments to completely ease them.

Thanks to these tools and the expertise of our sports therapists, we can sort these old muscle tensions out more easily and faster.

Heat Therapy is applied during the treatment to increase muscle relaxation, which is a further help in addition to the instruments used in this special sports massage therapy.

Benefits of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization ( IASTM )

Our specific sports massage, utilizing soft tissue mobilization techniques, provides a wide range of physiological benefits:

  1. Increase blood perfusion of the tissues.
  2. Increase waste cell removal.
  3. Break down scar tissue.
  4. Increase fibroblast activity.
  5. Stimulate a new connective-tissue formation.
  6. Increase muscle flexibility.
  7. Reduce tendons tension.
  8. Increase joint mobility.
  9. Decrease muscles and joint frictions.
  10. Reduce soft tissue restrictions.
  11. Reduce muscle pain.
  12. Increase muscle power.

Why Do People Choose Our Intrument Assisted Sports Massage?

In this clinic, thanks to more than 15 years of experience in sports injuries, we have developed special techniques to solve very quickly sports injuries and recurring injuries.

These types of injuries originate from different causes, starting from the simplest soft tissue tension to the more complex ones of muscular and postural imbalances.

Our innovative Sports Massage aims to treat both the causes and the symptoms of any kind of sports injury or muscle pain.

​During the treatment, heat therapy is applied to the muscles in order to warm them up. Heat therapy increases muscle relaxation and for this reason, It makes more effective the treatment of muscle stiffness and knots.

​​​The aims of our Instrument Assisted Sports Massage are:

  1. Improve the range of motion of the joints.
  2. Reduce Soft Tissue Friction.
  3. ​Improve the flexibility of the muscles.
  4. Reduce side effects of a sports injury such as scar tissue and adhesions.
  5. Reduce the chances of re-injury.
  6. ​Speed up the recovery time of a sports injury.

Straight after the treatment, we advise you to do ice therapy for 72 hours. After 72 hours, do thermal shock therapy to maximize the effect of our instrument-assisted sports massage.

We strongly advise you to do Stretching for the following 5-7 days after the treatment, to maximize its efficacy.

Our philosophy is that the treatment is never the same, not standardized but personalized sports therapy techniques, for your best sports massage tailored to your needs.

I always dread having to find a new physiotherapist as, frankly, many of them aren't great, don't really understand sports rehab and are entirely hands off but limit themselves to giving you a series of exercises to do. Not the case with Massimo...knowledgeable, very hands on and gave me some great advice. I will come back for sure

Massimo is both experienced and gifted. In one session on my foot and ankle he brought about considerable improvement and has given me hope that with more treatment I can walk again without pain. My issue is very longstanding, so to find someone that could bring about such rapid improvement is testament to how talented he is. I wish Id found him sooner.

I had my first session with Massimo recently and it was fantastic. Massimo was very thorough and post-treatment was able to provide excellent advice on what stretches to focus on, what exercises to do to maintain strength etc. Very knowledgable all round. Looking forward to my next treatment.

This is my second review for Massimo who has been treating me regularly since August 2025. My first 5-star review was written after 3 treatments which significantly reduced the pain and immobility I was experiencing which was caused by years of overtraining. Regular treatments since then have completely transformed how my body feels and functions. My flexibility and mobility have improved in ways that I didn’t think would be possible and this has converted into increased strength. Massimo is exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable with a rare talent for finding and resolving restrictions via soft tissue work. I highly recommend him. First review: Massimo’s knowledge is outstanding, and he is an exceptionally skilled practitioner with a gentle approach I have not experienced before. After only 3 treatments, the pain and restrictions caused by overuse injuries have significantly improved; I had no idea that soft tissue work could be so effective so quickly.
