Deep tissue massage therapy is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension and reducing muscle pain. It is perfect to reduce muscle soreness and stiffness too.
The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones, and joints).
We perform the most advanced massage techniques to reach the best results and personalize the treatment according to the patient’s needs.
Deep Tissue Massage is a useful practice both for the prevention and cure of musculoskeletal injury, muscle pain, back pain, and shoulders and neck pain.
Deep Tissue Massage produces many benefits for our bodies:
1. Increase Blood Perfusion.
2. Increase Muscles Flexibility.
3. Increase Joints Flexibility.
4. Decrease Muscles and Joint Frictions.
5. Reduce Muscle Pain.
6. Increase Muscle Power.
7. Reduce Tendons Tension.
8. Improve the Range of Motion of the joints.
Deep tissue massage is very useful both for sports injury prevention and sports recovery.
Deep tissue massage is essential for all kinds of athletes who want to recover faster after a workout and perform better the next one.
Deep tissue massage can have a lot of benefits for non-athletes and sedentary people. For example, for sedentary people who spend most of their time working at the desk, deep tissue massage can help to reduce the muscle stiffness of the lower back and legs from the sitting position.
Deep tissue massage can be considered a routine treatment for all people that can help to prevent muscle stiffness and muscle pain by improving muscle biomechanics and soft tissue conditions.
In our Sports Clinic in London, thanks to more than 18 years of experience in sports injuries, we have developed special techniques to solve any kind of injury and improve the musculoskeletal system of our athletes and patients.
We always strive to keep pace with progress and scientific research, to offer our patients the best massage therapy that produces maximum benefits for their body and athletic performance.
Our philosophy is that each treatment is never the same, but always different and personalized, tailored to the customer’s need to get their best Deep Tissue Massage.

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.
Our mission is to provide our clients with as many as possible slots available during the whole week.
