After many years of experience in sports injury and surgery rehabilitation, we have developed our own rehabilitation protocol for muscle tear and scar tissue formation.Â
This rehabilitation protocol combines different rehabilitative techniques such as:
IASTM 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 break down the scar tissue formed after a muscle tear.
Furthermore, IASTM techniques are instrumental in easing all possible muscle tension, adhesions, and knots that occur in the area of the muscle injury.
With these tools, we can reduce the number of sections and speed up the recovery time.
Diacutaneous Fibrolysis (DF) is a noninvasive rehabilitation technique. DF is an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization developed from the Cyriax deep friction massage principles. It consists of a set of metallic hooks applied to the skin that allow deeper penetration and a more precise application than manual techniques, providing advantages in treating soft tissues such as muscle, tendon, and fascia.
Thanks to the expertise of our Sports Therapist and Physiotherapist, with this technique, they obtain a decrease in rigidity and an increase in relaxation of the injured muscle.
Sports Massage is a thorough sports massage therapy that helps to reduce muscle tension, soft tissue friction, and muscle rigidity, and increase muscle and joint mobility after a muscle injury.
Heat therapy is applied during the treatment with special heating pads. Heat therapy increases muscle relaxation making soft tissue manipulation more effective.
Furthermore, heat therapy increases blood perfusion speeding up the waste cells’ removal from the scar tissue break-down activity.
If the muscle tear is consistent and the symptoms are strong, we proceed with a bandage of the muscle injured. This will allow the muscle to be less stressed and get some support during the load of its contraction.
Our Scar Tissue/Muscle Tear Treatment provides a wide range of physiological and biomechanical benefits to the injured muscle such as:
In this clinic, thanks to more than 18 years of experience in sports injuries, we have developed an alternative physiotherapy protocol to treat and cure muscle tears and scar tissue formation.
Generally, muscle tears are treated using the RICE Approach:
Basically, this is a Self-Healing Approach.
It works, but in our opinion, most of the time there are side effects of this approach.
The most important side effect is the entity of scar tissue formation.Â
The more the muscle tear is big in dimension and more the scar tissue formation.
During our muscle tear/scar tissue treatment, we perform instruments-assisted techniques aiming to facilitate the healing process and reduce scar tissue formation.
In order to have these effects we treat the torn muscle fibers in this way:
Despite there being a chance to treat and cure a muscle tear we advise our athletes to put in place a treatment plan for muscle injury prevention!
EXCELLENT Based on 165 reviews Posted on William Campbell2026.03.16.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Jackie2026.03.06.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Alex Daltrey2026.03.02.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My go-to for a deep tissue massage! Thanks Massimo 😊Posted on Anna Rimpf2025.12.30.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Massimo is incredible, he’s the only sports therapist who’s ever been able to make my lower back pain disappear in just one session. Can’t recommend him enoughPosted on Irene Santi2025.12.15.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Massimo at Mr. Salus Sporting Lab for a prep sports massage before my HYROX competition in London, and wow – he worked wonders! Thanks to his amazing massage, I felt so much more mobile and practically pain-free during my race. I was blown away by how knowledgeable and passionate he is about fixing my aches and weaknesses – I felt in such good hands that I immediately booked another session for after the race. If you’re lucky enough to live in London, do yourself a favor and go see Massimo. He’ll get you moving and feeling your best in no time!Posted on Amy Koerbel2025.11.14.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always the best treatment and service!Posted on Binsy Bin2025.11.13.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve seen dozens of physios over the years for a 10 yr achilles issue, and most barely lay a hand on you before sending you away with a list of exercises. Massimo is completely different. He’s genuinely hands-on, with proper palpation to understand exactly what’s going on beneath the surface. His approach is exceptional — a detailed assessment, deep and effective massage, and real attention to loosening tight muscles rather than rushing you out the door. You can feel the difference immediately. If you want someone who actually takes the time to understand the issue and treat it properly, Massimo is outstanding. Highly recommended.Posted on American Bully Report2025.10.16.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I think the fact that i saw Massimo on the the 25th of July and only getting round to leaving a review now says it all. I came with so much pain that i could sit no longer than 5 mins at a time, 3 months later I've sat a 10 day vipassana course meditating 10+ hours a day. Thank you so Massimo my expectations were totally exceeded. I look forward to my next session.Posted on A2025.10.13.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Massimo is thorough and detailed. Gave me lots of insights into not only how my biomechanics was affecting my running but also supporting information on the function of different muscle groups and how I can optimise their function. The sports massage was excellent too and so are the strengthening exercises. Highly recommend.Posted on Nick B2025.09.26.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb service. Easy booking process and great help in diagnosis and treatment. Thank you
