Deep Tissue/Sports Massage

A deep tissue/sports massage is a deeper form of massage with oil, using strokes, kneading, friction massage, stretches and other soft tissue manipulation techniques. A sports massage can focus on a certain area of the body to treat a specific problem or injury, or it can be used as an overall body massage for relaxation and to alleviate post-exercise soreness. The sports, deep tissue, and remedial massage and stretching techniques aim at a variety of effects including restoration of normal movement, normalisation of muscle tone through relaxation of tight or spasmed muscles, elongation of shortened muscles, breakdown of adhesions and post-trauma scar tissue, facilitation and speeding up of healing after musculoskeletal injuries, improvement of blood circulation and lymphatic flow, enhancement of metabolism, removal of lactic acid and other types of waste and bi-products from tissue, alleviation of pain and quickening of recovery after physical exercise. Massage can also be used effectively as a method of injury prevention, not just in sporting activities – such as training for a marathon – but also with various posture and stress-related challenges of today’s working life.

Sports and deep tissue massage techniques are particularly effective with (but not limited to) conditions such as:

  • Neck and back pain
  • Shoulder conditions such as the rotator cuff syndrome
  • Trapped nerves
  • Muscle strains
  • Joint sprains
  • Tennis/golfer’s elbow
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Lower back, groin, thigh, hamstring, and knee problems
  • Shin splints
  • Stress and work-related muscle tension
  • Sports injuries
  • Tension headache
  • Repetitive strain injuries
  • Postural problems

  • What to expect

    During the visit the patient is encouraged to voice any questions or concerns they may have regarding the treatment. For example, the removal of some articles of clothing may be necessary for a massage to take place. Any such concerns will be addressed before the treatment. The aim is to ensure a professional, stress-free environment for both the patient and the therapist.

  • Your First Session

    A typical first session includes a brief interview with the patient to establish the nature of the problem and to rule out possible contraindications to a massage treatment, followed by a clinical observation and assessment of not just the principal complaint but the entire body and posture to establish possible underlying causal connections. The patient’s medical history, working posture and habits and physical activity level are also taken into account to complete the assessment more comprehensively.

  • Range of techniques

    The consequent treatment can then encompass a range of techniques such as deep tissue and friction massage, stretching techniques, neuromuscular facilitation, muscle-energy technique, myofascial release and neural tissue manipulation. Depending on the nature of the problem, follow-up treatments may be required.

  • Discuss Treatment Plan

    Upon conclusion of the initial session, the therapist and the patient will discuss the ensuing treatment plan in greater detail. The patient may also receive instructions with regard to home exercises, correct sitting and working postures, as well as the correct execution of movement when using various gym equipment.

  • I came here in November 2012 with my feet in a desperate condition; I had been prescribed totally inappropriate creams etc for a serious foot infection by my GP and was in some pain. Mercifully I was recommended by my sister to come here; in short Joseph gave me my life back- he managed the situation quite brilliantly, I cannot thank him enough. Thanks to Joseph I am now back to my daily “fix” of swimming in cold water at Parliament Hill Lido. Magical!
