Deep tissue massage therapy is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension and reducing muscle pain.
The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones, and joints).
Read MoreOur back, neck & shoulder massage is the ideal solution to muscle tension caused by knots or postural problems in the upper body.
The treatment is performed with advanced massage techniques to reach the deeper layers of the upper body’s muscles and not only the surface’s muscles.
Read MoreOur Specialised Instrument Assisted Deep Tissue Massage targets any type of muscle injury, scar tissue, adhesion, and tendon calcification.
Swedish Massage is the most common massage therapy in the world and It combines the use of both hands and elbows that involve long, soft, kneading strokes on the topmost layers of muscles.

If you were not able to cure your muscle injury or musculoskeletal issue with the classic physiotherapy exercises, we can help you with our specific injury rehabilitation treatment.
We have designed this alternative injury rehabilitation protocol, to treat and cure the underlying causes of your muscle injury or musculoskeletal condition.
Most of the time, muscle weakness is not the main or unique cause of muscle injury or joint pain, for example. There could be other conditions, such as adhesions, tendon calcification, or scar tissue, that can be the main cause of muscle and joint pain.
Our sports injury rehabilitation treatment is going to treat these underlying causes to have a short-term beneficial effect on the musculoskeletal system affected by the injury.
Physio exercise can be added to our injury rehabilitation plan, to have a long-term beneficial effect, in the case muscle weakness is one of the causes of sports injury.
Yes, the body’s posture, most of the time, is the most important underlying cause of recurrent sports injury.
The body’s posture imbalances can determine an unequal distribution of forces on particular musculoskeletal structures. This can create excessive stress causing recurrent inflammation of tendons, muscles, and joints.
For example, flat feet can be the main cause of plantar fasciitis as can increase the peak of forces acting on the sole of the foot, activating the inflammation.
Neck and back pain caused by problems in the muscles and skeleton. Problems in the bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments, such as arthritis. Fatigue, pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of muscle strength. Loss of mobility because of trauma to the brain (Stroke) or spine, or due to diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
The best practice to reduce building new muscle tension is to put in place a prevention plan rather than cure the muscle stiffness when it produces muscle pain.
We advise our patients to follow this muscle injury prevention plan:
Yes, Sports Massage is one of the best sports therapy treatments to prevent any sports injury such as muscle strains, muscle tears, tendon tears, and general muscle stiffness.
Sports Massage, by treating muscle stiffness and tissue adhesions can improve the biomechanics of our musculoskeletal system such as muscle flexibility and joint mobility.
Increasing muscle flexibility and joint mobility is a key factor in reducing the chances of muscle injury as they can support better any type of mechanical stress and forces acting on them.
This is a common question the athletes ask their sports massage therapist to set up a prevention plan to reduce the chances of getting sports injuries such as muscle tear, muscle strain, or simple excessive muscle stiffness.
The average to get a sports massage depends on the amount of workout and the lifestyle/job of the people: the frequency can be from once a week for professional and semi-professional athletes to 4-6 weeks for nonprofessional athletes and sedentary people.

In our Sports Clinic in London, our sports massage therapists agreed to a specific sports massage plan created specifically for the preparation of a Marathon competition. Our sports massage plan consists of four sports massages that are planned before and after the Marathon as explained below:

The Ironman Triathlon is the longest of the Triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation.
It consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride, and a Marathon 26.22-mile run, it is a very challenging competition that needs a lot of attention during its preparation.
In our Sports Clinic in London, we have designed a specific sports massage plan consisting of five sports massages that are planned before and after the Ironman Triathlon as explained below:

A Trigger Point (TP), also known as a myofascial trigger point, is a localized, sensitive area within a muscle or fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles) that can be painful when pressed or otherwise stimulated.
From the histopathological point of view, TP is characterized by the presence of muscle knots, which corresponds to a muscle fiber segment subjected to a strong contraction of its sarcomeres.
Shrinkage knots are microscopic formations that correspond to sites of spontaneous electrical activity in the neuromuscular junction, which is a specialized synapse of the motor neuron that innervates the muscle fiber.
The area or region of muscle fibers that contain knots of contraction constitutes the palpable painful muscle nodule.
Only some fibers of the affected muscle present this microscopic alteration. At the level of contraction nodes, sarcomeres present a strong contraction (shorter and wider) differing markedly from the sarcomeres of the normal muscle fibers of the same muscle.
The existence of muscle knots in an area affects the function of the entire muscle.
Trigger Points do not cause pain during normal activities. They are only painful with palpation.
They are activated by cold, heat, pressure changes
atmospheric, and repetitive damage.
The reason why a TP is formed in a certain moment and a certain muscle is still unknown despite the many hypotheses issued.
However, multiple pathogenic factors have been found to trigger, predispose, or favor TPs which are fundamentally:
Clinically, the patient manifests dull and heavy pain, the muscle feels tense, hypertonic, and contracted.
The muscle is exhausted quickly and significantly decreases sports performance.
Treatment for trigger points may include physical therapy, sports massage therapy, myofascial release techniques, stretching exercises, and sometimes the use of heat therapy.
Yes, sports massage is suitable for elderly people too!
Very often, sports massage is labeled as a sports treatment only for athletes, and described as a traumatizing massage treatment with pain for one or two days afterward.
Sports massage should be performed in a way to not traumatize the muscle to the point of inducing pain for 1 or 2 days after the treatment. If the sports massage is performed properly, the patient will get an immediate sensation of improved mobility and muscle flexibility.
Of course, when a sports massage is performed for an elderly person, the pressure and the techniques of the massage should be tailored to the patient’s musculoskeletal condition.
Getting a sports massage before a sports competition is good for reducing muscle stiffness, and muscle soreness, improving muscle flexibility, and joint mobility, and ultimately improving sports performance!
Depending on the athletes’ condition, we suggest getting a sports massage 7-10 days or 4-5 days before the sports competition.
Yes, getting a sports massage before the competition is absolutely fine and very useful!

Sports massage is a very efficient sports therapy that is valid both for prevention and injury rehabilitation, but, in some cases, such as scar tissue, adhesions, and calcification we advise our patients to get another kind of treatment.
In our Sports Clinic in London, we have designed a treatment that combines Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Sports Massage Technique. We have called it Instrument Assisted Sports Massage.
A high-tech gait analysis is an assessment of the human gait ( walking ) with the utilization of cutting-edge equipment, generally a treadmill with a pressure-sensitive mat, that will produce a feet pressure map of each step.
A high-tech running analysis is the assessment of the running technique through a high-tech treadmill with a pressure-sensitive mat and a High-Definition Video Camera System.
The most important running parameters a high-tech running analysis system can provide us with are:
