1. We really are ‘London Sports Massage’ . Why? Because we’re in Central London. We have a choice of 2 locations, each no more than 3 minutes from a tube station. Which means whether you live in Chingford or Mayfair, you can get to us easily.

2. We are a small, super-friendly team of professionals with proven experience at getting results – we’re personable, affable and kind. We love our job and we love our clients. And judging by our testimonials – they love us!

3. We are open 7 days a week. Our receptionists start work early in the morning and work til 8pm most nights, ensuring they’re ready for your call.

4. We aim to get rid of your pain and teach you easy self-help techniques. Our experience has shown that if you’re doing simple stuff at home between treatments you’ll not only feel better, but you’ll need to visit us less. Of course, you give us less money, but we like that because we know you’ll tell your friends!

5. We offer a choice of male or female massage therapists. All of our therapists are trained to the highest sports massage standards recognised in the UK. They have all received additional training by City Sports Massage, so you know if you’ve seen one City Sports Massage therapist and enjoyed the treatment; you can go to another and get exactly the same quality of care!

We look forward to treating you at one our our centrally located massage clinics in London!

Where is the best place to get a massage in London? Well, if you ask our clients then they’ll tell you – City Sports Massage! Whether you’re looking for a deep tissue massage, sports massage or even just a massage then here’s a few reasons you should give us a try!

Dancers say that we’re the best ’sports massage for dancers’ because we’re not afraid to ‘get in there’ deeply. But equally we’re happy to work gently too. Sometimes we see clients whom life has been throwing around a little recently (it happens to *all* of us!) and that would be just one example of when we’d chill things out a little. I recently massaged a new client and they became very emotional during the massage. This happens often as massage can be a real emotional release. She was determined she wanted to work through it, and have a good old fashioned blub! After the therapeutic massage she said that she was pleasantly surprised – as she’d always thought that sports massage had to be brutal and unforgiving. But just like every person is different, every treatment is different. And though we might need pummeling one week, the next week might feel totally different.

It’s difficult to find a good massage therapist in London. The best massage therapist will always be sensitive to the changing requirements of each individual. We don’t do formulaic body rubs here. We listen intuitively, and we respond accordingly.

I often get asked in my massage clinic in Central London – what’s the difference between deep tissue massage and sports massage? The answer is; deep tissue massage courses are generally shorter and not as involved as sports massage courses. So someone learning ’sports massage’ techniques to treat sports injuries, or work-related issues such as RSI, will be better equipped than someone who has done a basic ‘deep tissue’ course. In a nutshell, if your therapist is qualified with recognised sports massage qualifications (such as BTEC) then they will be doing deep tissue massage, and more!

What a party we had last week!

It was, as predicted, a stormin’ success! We went right up to the venue’s 110 capacity! There was a queue waiting even before we opened at 6:30pm, and the first 50 people were through the door before we had time to breathe!

The venue was ‘The Player’, in Soho, London and they clearly knew how to run a smooth bar and kitchen. The delicious, raw-food canapes were made and given out by Sophie of Blissful Health.

All night guests were expressing disbelief that there were people there that they didn’t expect to see. The world suddenly seemed smaller. “I can’t believe you massage my ex-bosses husband’s friend” and so it went on!

The crowd were just *so* amazingly friendly. Everyone commented on this – the venue, the performers and the other guests.

I’ve gotta say a special thank you to all the performers who appeared at this event (you can see the full line up on the previous post) and also to Sean Mooney for his fabulous stage management services, and Dave Chameleon for his cheeky, always spot-on compeering. I felt so lucky to have such generous, talented people willing to work at the City Sports Massage Launch Party!

The venue is ‘The Player’, a members club found hidden away next door to Agent Provocateur at 8 Broadwick Street W1F 8HN.

The date is Wednesday 2nd July.

The venue is discretely marked by a simple, small blue sign above the door. The interior is a chic 1970’s cocktail bar. A place that glamourous air hostesses and handsome pilots might have brushed shoulders with ravishing film stars.

From 6:30pm you will be greeted by myself and new City Sports Massage therapist Michelle, with a refreshing cocktail, a voucher, a raffle ticket and a big smile!

The entertainment starts at 7pm sharp and will include;

Snakebone! – Tony Diavlo’s trio playing swing and blues!

Michele Laine of Fling – World class acrobatic madness!

The Tropics of Cancer – Divine and quirky duo singing songs to transport you away.

Kitty Bang Bang – Devastatingly beautiful burlesque ballerina!

Sumi Sumatra – An exotic and mesmerising Balinese dancer with a hint of 1920’s naughtiness!

And keeping the party swinging, fresh from the burlesque / retro scene;
DJs El Nino & Lady Kamikaze (Lady Luck, Black Cotton Club)

PLEASE NOTE;
We want YOU there – there is NO dress code. Glam if you can, but many will be coming straight from work/their probation officer etc.

We have exclusive use of the venue until 9pm. After that the club’s regular guests will be joining us to party until 12 midnight. Availability of your complementary cocktail is on a first come first served basis! – be early!

You are encouraged to bring along your companions who you feel may benefit from a massage!

This event WILL be busy – be early!

London Marathon runners needing sports massage have been flooding through the doors of our Mayfair and Highbury clinics this month! It’s really exciting to share the buzz of those preparing for such an incredible feat.

It’s in this next few weeks of marathon training that sports injuries often happen. We’ve noticed that once an 18 miler has been run, often the hard training athlete will try to go *that* bit faster, feel a ‘twang’ and then carry on through the pain. DON’T! If you feel pain, aside from the merciless agony of lactic acid and bursting lungs that is, STOP! and apply the R.I.C.E. principles;

REST
ICE
COMPRESSION
ELEVATION

We’ve treated too many marathon runners for sports injuries such as torn muscles in the weeks running immediately up to the marathon, it’s a classic scenario – so please take heed and avoid giving us all your cash for constant treatments!
