In general you can expect a deep, therapeutic massage to help your back pain, shoulder tension, pulled muscles etc. The sports massage therapists in Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic all have a specialist background and understanding to help your ailments.

What is sports massage?
Sports massage can be used to treat anyone with musculoskeletal injury, pain or dysfunction, caused by sports, exercise, or simply by life’s stresses.
It differs from other types of massage in that it uses a wide range of soft tissue techniques, so the sports massage therapist is able to be much more specific in treating the injury or tension.
As a result treatments are tailored to your needs. But our sports massage is not only for sporty people and sports injuries, it is used as treatment of the muscles and soft tissues of the body for anybody! It is used as regularly for office workers as it is for athletes for example. For sports people a good sports massage is invaluable in helping with injuries, and improving performance, and recovery. People with sedentary, office based jobs often get pain and dysfunction in muscles and joints due to inactivity, combined with poor posture , and repetitive movement. Sports massage is brilliant at managing and alleviating this along with remedial advice.

Martin Buschman, Sports massage therapist in London
“I don’t believe in the painful-throughout type of massage. I think pain is a bad signal to send to the brain, it induces reflex reactions that are not going in the sense of purposes. Of massage. Though it can be painful at times, my main focus will be on tissues listening and giving attention to your needs, respecting thus your own sensibility.” “I know the body is organised in muscular chains. During a massage, the main focus is on the posterior one, as this is the chain causing the most suffering. Ultimately, my treatment aim to untie knots, soothe and lengthen this particular chain but also to create balance, symmetry and harmony.”
