Sports Massage or Deep Tissue Massage in London?

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!

    I am a massage therapist working in Dublin and get asked all the time for Deep tissue massage. I have numerous qualifications including sports massage and medical massage but find that the public are often confused as to which type of massage they really want. Deep tissue and sports really do overlap each other.
