			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a title="Directions to the Healthy Living Centre" href="http://goo.gl/maps/ylNGM" target="_blank">Healthy Living Centre on St. Paul&#8217;s Road</a> has been the location for City Sports Massage in Highbury &amp; Islington for many years. The CSM team, though a small team of sports massage therapists, attract international referalls through providing effective pain relief for professional clients from all walks of life. That includes office workers, pregnant mums, and athletes of all descriptions.</p>
<p>The City Sports Massage team successfully treat all kinds of painful conditions. Whilst sore neck and shoulders might be the most common ailment, the team regularly treat sports injuries such as shin splints and hamstring tears, and issues such as sciatica and headaches. One of the most popular requests is from prenatal, and postnatal mums with sore muscles requiring a pregnancy massage! Sports massage is NOT exclusively for athletes, <strong>regular non-sporty people</strong> can, and DO benefit from the remedial and deep tissue massage techniques that City Sports Massage offer.<span id="more-1641"></span></p>
<h3>A visit to City Sports Massage in Highbury &amp; Islington is all about YOU</h3>
<p>When you book a sports massage in Highbury &amp; Islington with City Sports Massage, the focus is on YOU and YOUR NEEDS. We understand how frustrating it is to not get your needs met &#8211; which is why we listen carefully, and make sure that we understand you, and can therefore work <em>with</em> you &#8211; to make sure you receive the treatment you came to us for.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The treatment I received from Jacky was just what I needed, and I wish I hadn&#8217;t waited so long to make a booking. I felt my whole body was crumbling. <strong>Jacky was great at listening to my complaints and then focusing on the key areas</strong>. Her treatment has made a real difference after just one session, but I will be returning to see her again and make more progress. Her explanations and advice were very beneficial throughout the session.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Luisa Serafini</strong></em></p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Worried that a visit to City Sports Massage in Highbury &amp; Islington will be <em>too painful</em>?</h3>
<p>We believe effective communication between client and therapist is essential. Although we are experienced sports massage/remedial massage therapists, and want to be as helpful as possible in guiding you through your treatment; YOU are in charge. We know that some Folks are worried that deep tissue massage will be painful &#8211; and equally others are concerned it will not be powerful enough. <a title="City Sports Massage" href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/" target="_blank">City Sports Massage</a> in Highbury &amp; Islington are known for working within our clients&#8217; comfort zones. We want you to recommend us; not run away from us &#8211; and you might be surprised how we get great results, often with gentle work&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I had a massage with Jacky at the Healthy Living Centre, St Paul&#8217;s Road, Islington. She was fantastic. Not only did she sort the issue I had with my neck, she also gave me very useful advice. Most sports massages I&#8217;ve had are very firm, but <strong>Jacky&#8217;s approach to my neck was very gentle, and </strong><strong>to my surprise, worked perfectly</strong>. I was drifting off to sleep by the end, which shows how relaxing it was. And when I got up I had full mobility back in my neck/back.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Caroline</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Located a three minute walk from Marble Arch tube station, City Sports Massage at the Berkeley Clinic in W1 is the perfect place for city professionals to get their aches and pains fixed by the experts.</p>
<p>You might expect a professional rugby player to pick up injuries on the pitch; but a professional working in an office can also receive injuries that result in just as much suffering. Many PC/laptop based workers struggle with work related sore necks, <a title="Why does anxiety and depression cause back spasms and chronic neck and shoulder pain? And can massage therapy help?" href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/why-does-anxiety-and-depression-cause-back-spasms-and-chronic-neck-and-shoulder-pain-and-can-massage-therapy-help/" target="_blank">stiff shoulders</a> and tension headaches. The City Sports Massage Therapists at our Marble Arch and Mayfair sports massage clinic in W1 have many years experience in treating, and eradicating RSI, &amp; work related pain and injury.</p>
<div id="attachment_1636" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class=" wp-image-1636 " title="JG &amp; FF" src="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jon-FF-crop-300x148.png" alt="Sports Massage W1 with City Sports Massage Therapists Jon and Fuschia" width="400" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sports Massage in W1 with City Sports Massage Therapists Jon and Fuschia</p></div>
<p><span id="more-1623"></span>As many of our clients will testify, our <a title="City Sports Massage therapists" href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/therapists/" target="_blank">Sports Massage Therapists</a> are highly adept at discovering the root cause of pain, and treating it with effective remedial and sports massage techniques. Our expert sports massage therapists aim to create a working partnership with <em>you</em>, in order to investigate, and hopefully demystify your pain and discomfort. Most importantly of all, if results aren&#8217;t obvious and forthcoming, they will quickly advise, and refer &#8216;up the chain&#8217;.</p>
<p>Our effective work means that the vast majority of City Sports Massage clients report leaving our Marble Arch clinic feeling refreshed, and better equipped to deal with the challenges ahead. Muscular aches that had previously caused distraction and pain at work are eased, movement restored, and <a title="Constant headaches from a tension headache? Sports massage can help" href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/tension-constant-headaches-sports-massage/" target="_blank">tension headaches</a> relieved. Put simply; City Sports Massage = smiling clients; more efficient, happier, and more at peace than when they first walked through the door of our Marble Arch location!</p>
<h3>How does office work cause pain and injury?</h3>
<p>Working tiring, long hours at an office desk or laptop can easily result in a slumped posture. Maintaining static positions for long periods of time can cause muscles to stiffen and seize. We can easily therefore end up with a stiff, slumped posture that results in very sore shoulders and often a painful, strained neck that&#8217;s reluctant to move. In addition, a poorly designed work station set up can make it even harder to maintain good posture, and can be the root cause of it. It&#8217;s so easy to lose track of time when we&#8217;re working on a computer; but the body <em>doesn&#8217;t forget</em>! Neglecting to take regular breaks (even very short ones can help!) also adds to the miserable package of pain!</p>

Are you in pain from sore shoulders and a stiff neck, perhaps caused by too many hours hunched over the computer at work? Are you working out in the gym and then finding it difficult to move in the morning? At City Sports Massage we want to eradicate your pain and get you moving freely again. Find out here how we can help you&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-1471"></span></p>
<h3>I’m really NOT an athlete, are you sure Sports Massage is suitable?</h3>
<p>You bet it is! The healing power of sports massage is tried and tested in the sports arena. These very same techniques can be used on normal aches and pains too. Our Sports massage is tailored especially to responding to your body’s needs and working to cure stresses and strains on the body that massages based solely around relaxation often fail to address. You may be surprised to hear that often the main symptoms we treat are not Martial Arts or running injuries but rather…</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/why-do-my-neck-and-shoulders-hurt-at-work/">stiff and sore neck</a> muscles that don’t want to move</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>shoulder tension that creates constant pain</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/golfers-sports-massage-and-stretching-for-relief-of-low-back-pain/">lower back pain</a> that keeps you awake at night</li>
</ul>
<p>A good sports massage with plenty of deep tissue work:</p>
<ul>
<li>releases and relaxes soreness</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>loosens tension</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>eases and soothes pain</li>
</ul>
<p>As a result you’re more able to hold a better posture, helping to prevent a re-occurrence of the symptoms. In addition the CSM team at our Holborn sports massage clinic give our clients <em>homework</em> to help keep you moving freely. <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/therapists/">The rest of the team</a> at our <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/locations/">other locations</a> also provide stretching and postural advice where appropriate.</p>

This means she provides supreme sports massage therapy to help get you better, AND provides advice that you can take home, to help you in your continuing improvement.</p>
<p><strong>But won’t a Sports Massage hurt? I’m already sore.</strong></p>
<p>Sports massage can sometimes be a little uncomfortable, but you should instinctively feel that this discomfort is doing you the world of good. However, it is important it feels right for YOU, and we always ask you to communicate if you would like things done differently. We are very flexible &#8211; and can work as hard, or as softly as you require. Many of our clients are surprised at how relaxing our remedial treatments can be &#8211; whilst still getting great results.</p>
<p>Sometimes you may feel a little sore <em>after</em> a sports massage. This is generally a sign that useful work has been carried out, and can provide a normal indication of the healing process.</p>
<p>Your local Holborn sports massage therapist is waiting to help you. If you&#8217;re looking for pain relief give our <strong>Holborn Sports Massage clinic </strong>a call on 0207 242 6665. We&#8217;re within easy reach of Chancery Lane, Russell Sq. or Holborn tube stations.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to meeting you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Sports massage is a regular part of a triathlon training. Read how City Sports Massage Therapist Kath combated lifelong struggles with her weight, combined new motherhood with a new career as a triathlon-completing sports massage therapist, and learnt a few lessons on the way.</em> </p>
<p>Becoming a mother is a hard enough challenge for any woman, but for Kath, deep tissue massage therapist at <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com" target="_blank">City Sports Massage</a>, it was part of a much bigger test.</p>
<p>Having struggled with weight issues since puberty, Kath had resolved to take control. She began an exercise regime that would see her take part in a two-man relay cycling challenge from London to Paris, which she completed in just 24 hours. Spurred on by her success and the weight she had lost, she was determined to maintain those fitness levels and compete in other events. However, soon after the event, she found out that she was pregnant.</p>
<p>Whilst for many, pregnancy marks an excuse to take things easy, Kath kept as busy as ever. Although naturally her exercise patterns had to change slightly, she continued where possible, by taking longs walks and by swimming. Simultaneously, she was busy organising a large office move and completing her sports massage therapy course: a huge workload for anyone to contemplate!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Kath Breslin, Sports Massage Therapist" src="http://www.citysportsmassage.com//assets/client/sq/sq-kath-breslin.jpg" alt="Kath Breslin, Sports Massage Therapist" width="230" height="230" /></p>
<p>Above all, Kath was determined to regain the levels of fitness and body shape she had achieved prior to getting pregnant, and so got back into training almost immediately after giving birth. Consequently, once he was old enough, her son would accompany her to the gym, and even got involved in ‘Powerpramming’ sessions on Tooting Common! Before long, the weight again dropped off and Kath was ready to begin competing again, taking part in several 10K obstacle courses over the space of the following year.</p>
<h3>The London Triathlon challenge</h3>
<p>Kath’s greatest challenge lay in the form of the <a href="http://www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk/" target="_blank">London Triathlon</a>. Having volunteered as a sports massage therapist at the event in 2010, she was inspired to take part in one herself.</p>
<p>Despite being a single mum, Kath found ways to combine motherhood with work and training by either cycling or running to her sports massage practice, and back.</p>
<p>She describes completing the London Triathlon as a ‘surprisingly emotional experience’: a culmination of the years of sheer hard work and sports training she had put in.</p>
<p>Finishing such a huge challenge was the ultimate way of proving to herself and others that it was possible to turn her life around in such a dramatic way. Not only was she at the lightest weight she’d ever been by this stage, but also the fittest, and had achieved all of this whilst balancing motherhood with a new career as a sports massage therapist.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Kath-Breslin-Triathlon.jpg" alt="Kath Breslin, Sports Massage and the London Triathlon" title="Kath Breslin Triathlon" width="448" height="318" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1578" /></p>
<p>Competing in the London Triathlon has helped inform Kath’s work with City Sports Massage and she feels that by having done a triathlon herself she can better understand the needs of her clients who take part in similar sports events.</p>
<h3>Sports Massage as part of Triathlon training</h3>
<p>Kath has learnt the benefits of taking time to pause mid-exercise to reflect on the areas of the body that need attention, as well as ensuring the whole body is supple in order to prevent small niggles becoming bigger problems. She is already looking forward to competing in future triathlons and is looking to shave 20 minutes off her time. In part she intends to do this by seeking the help of <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/therapists/" target="_blank">the team</a> at City Sports Massage team beforehand, to ensure her body is in optimum condition.</p>
<p>Kath’s achievements to date demonstrate what an incredibly motivated and self-empowered individual she is. She has been her own catalyst for changing her body and mindset, and has accomplished impressive feats alongside huge life events which would be challenging enough on their own. Becoming a mother has allowed Kath to pass on this attitude: she hopes that as he grows older, her son will see view exercise as a normal part of life and enjoy it as much as she does, bucking the trend of rising obesity levels in this country. Additionally, through working at City Sports Massage, Kath has found a way to share her experiences with like-minded people and translate them directly into her work.</p>
<p>We are delighted to have her as part of our team.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How can sports massage ease scoliosis pain? How else might a sports massage therapist provide scoliosis care and support? City Sports Massage shows you how the right sports massage therapist can help&#8230;</p>
<h2>What is scoliosis?</h2>
<p>The word <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/scoliosis/pages/introduction.aspx" target="_blank">scoliosis</a> describes a lateral curvature of the spine. It is often the cause of back pain and muscular discomfort. Due to the structural imbalance that scoliosis creates, muscles can have a very difficult time keeping the body &#8216;straight&#8217; &#8211; and so they can find themselves overworked &#8211; leading to back pain. We give a simple and easy to understand explanation as to why muscles are one of the causes of back pain in a previous post <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/why-do-my-neck-and-shoulders-hurt-at-work/" target="_blank">here.</a></p>
<p>Scoliosis is often combined with <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Kyphosis/Pages/Introduction.aspx" target="_blank">kyphosis</a> &#8211; a forward arching of the spine over the shoulders (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyphoscoliosis" target="_blank">kyphoscoliosis</a>). This leads to a feeling of being hunched over. This can be greatly compounded when working long hours at a desk, hunched over a computer. A curved spine can make it difficult to sit up straight, and shoulders will slump forward making chest muscles tight. A slumped posture can affect breathing, and over a period of time shallow and restricted breathing can make the upper body even tighter, which can cause a further increase in scoliosis pain. </p>
<p>A painful spine and aching shoulders can contribute to, and be exacerbated by work stress. Even mild scoliosis symptoms can feel like a prison of pain.</p>

<h2>Does sports massage provide effective Scoliosis treatment?</h2>
<p>Sports massage can be especially helpful for adults who have had scoliosis for many years, and wish to restore functionality and pain-free movement to the body.</p>
<p>Children, adolescents and anyone currently being treated for scoliosis might also be helped by sports massage, but it is important to remember that the remedial massage therapist will need to work in cooperation with any other specialists currently treating the patient. It is important that professionals seeking to help the patient are not working at cross purposes.</p>
<p>Scoliosis can be helped by <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/" target="_blank">sports massage</a> as a good <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/therapists/" target="_blank">sports massage therapist</a> can help to ease the restrictions that are binding the muscles together. By restoring movement, the tight muscles that were pressing on nerves become softer, and pain eases away! </p>
<p>It is important to go to an experienced sports and remedial massage therapist, especially if you have previously had surgery for scoliosis. At City Sports Massage we have many years of experience of providing scoliosis support through using sports massage and deep tissue massage to treat lumbar scoliosis, thoracic scoliosis and idiopathic scoliosis.</p>
<p>If you are an adult with scoliosis we can give you scoliosis exercises to begin to restore balance. The exercises can also help you maintain a pain free back for longer periods of time. Although we cannot reverse the body&#8217;s decision to direct bone growth in a certain direction, we can ease, and soften the muscles that subsequently cause back pain. </p>
<p>Why not take a look at our <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/testimonials/" target="_blank">testimonials</a>. We have a long history of helping make sports massage in London a safe and healthy bet for those with scoliosis. You can find a list of our sports massage locations in London <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/locations/" target="_blank">right here.</a> </p>
<p>Finally, we have noticed many of those suffering scoliosis pain are NOT aware that sports massage can help &#8211; so please &#8216;like&#8217; and share this post &#8211; and let others know the good news!</p>

Constant headaches can make it difficult to perform well at work, and often ruin any chance for relaxation when not working! A search on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/headache1.shtml" target="_blank">constant headaches</a>, or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_headache" target="_blank">tension headaches</a> can bring up all sorts of scary diagnosis but at City Sports Massage we&#8217;ve found that deep tissue massage often provides a fast solution. Learn more here&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe width="500" height="375" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YOTwPpGKcEs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h2>What are tension headaches?</h2>
<p>Tension headaches are often caused by stress, are exacerbated by dehydration, and can easily become constant headaches. Stress, or tension headaches are characterised by the top, or sides of the head feeling tight or sore, sometimes pain behind the eyes, and often there will be a stiff neck and shoulders making things feel worse!</p>
<h2>How do tension headaches become constant headaches?</h2>
<p>Tension headaches often stem from a painful neck and shoulders. A stiff neck, perhaps caused by work stress, or bad posture at work can spread up into the muscles around the skull (yes you have muscles there too!) and create a painful pressure against the capillaries and sensitive nerves surrounding the skull. You can read more info about what causes stiff, aching muscles by reading our sports massage post <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/blog/why-do-my-neck-and-shoulders-hurt-at-work/" target="_blank">&#8216;why do my neck and shoulders hurt at work?&#8217;</a></p>
<p>Jaw clenching (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism" target="_blank">bruxism</a>) can also contribute to this pain. We are often completely unaware we are jaw clenching! Often bruxism occurs during sleep, and even during surprisingly low-key stressful moments whilst completely awake. It is this low grade, constant muscular tension that keeps the muscles that surround the skull tightened and painful, which can cause constant headaches. </p>
<h2>Whats the best solution for tension headaches that have become persistent headaches? Can sports massage, or deep tissue massage help?</h2>
<p>The stiff, aching muscles around the skull (particularly around the sides of the head, the temples, and the muscles where the neck meets the skull) can be eased and softened by a skilled <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/" target="_blank">sports massage</a>, or <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/therapists/" target="_blank">deep tissue massage therapist</a>. In the USA <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1447303/" target="_blank">research</a> has shown that chronic tension headaches can be treated efficiently by <em>experienced</em> massage therapists, and in the UK the NHS advocate the use of <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/headaches-tension-type/Pages/Introduction.aspx" target="_blank">massage</a> to treat tension headaches. At City Sports Massage in London we have many years of experience treating clients suffering from tension headaches, and we run specific head massage and neck massage training workshops for our staff to ensure they are able to address your constant headaches efficiently. </p>
<p>Our clients tend to be busy people, and we advise measures that can ease headaches at work, and prevent headache recurrence. A few simple practices might mean that your next massage can be more about relaxation, and less about relieving pain. Interested in finding out more?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When training for an event like the London marathon/triathlon or similar, painful shins can often lead to a panicked research on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints">shin splints</a>, and shin splints treatment. When internet searches reveal such weighty sounding terms as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_tibial_stress_syndrome" target="_blank">medial tibial stress syndrome</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture">stress fracture</a> the true terror of your shin splints running injury can really begin to set in!</p>
<p>At City Sports Massage we have found that often, the feeling runners describe as a &#8216;shin splints&#8217; running injury is simply the result of overloading the muscles too quickly and too intensely. Underlying this might be several other factors; tight calves, gait, inappropriate running shoes etc.</p>
<p>Like many sports injuries, they are the body&#8217;s way of asking us to make a change, or reminding us that if we don&#8217;t make a change, things will likely get worse. And no-one wants overloaded muscles to develop into a full blown shin splints running injury!</p>
<h2>Shin splints &#8211; Four important points about early intervention</h2>
<p>i) It is important to respond to these requests <em>early</em> in order to prevent a chronic condition developing (a full blown shin splints running injury), which will in turn be harder to treat. Early intervention can prevent pain, AND save time and money!</p>
<p>ii) At this stage it&#8217;s important to recognise any feelings of frustration and/or catastrophisation about possible outcomes. It is these feelings that often cause runners to continue training through the painful shin splints, which might in some cases cause the condition to develop into a stress fracture, pushing recovery further away. </p>
<p>iii) Remember that fitness can still be maintained in other ways pre-event, such as swimming or cycling (if cycling, perhaps using the heel of the foot to push the pedals, trying to avoid creating tension in the calves or shins).</p>
<p>iv) Don&#8217;t forget that treatment and care may yet yield very positive results.</p>
<h2>Three things to consider for the early care of shin splints</h2>
<p>i) Resting and icing a shin splints running injury as soon as possible is advisable. After the initial ice treatment, alternating heat and ice can also be helpful. </p>
<p>ii) Once rested, warm up feet, ankles, calves and legs before trying to run again. This helps create more &#8216;space&#8217; in the lower leg by making soft tissues more supple, elastic and ready for action. Take the first run gently. Go easy, and be kind to yourself.</p>
<p>iii) Get a <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/" target="_blank">good quality sports massage</a>! Sports massage can be a fantastic way of not just &#8216;getting in touch&#8217; with your body and developing a greater understanding of it&#8217;s needs and requirements, but also unlocking the areas that might be creating problems. In the case of a shin splints running injury this might be overtight calves that have gone into shock after being asked to pound the city streets &#8211; perhaps after a period of relative inactivity?</p>
<p>Our bodies can feel like incredibly bewildering and overwhelming places to be. Pain can and does cause feelings of panic &#8220;I&#8217;ll never be fit enough for the marathon/triathlon now!&#8221; A good, connected sports massage treatment can give a deeply personal insight into the structure and nature of one&#8217;s own body. Gaining this insight often provides answers that can inform your next course of action; be that a small change in running style, a simple change in training regime, or perhaps going back to the old training shoes and alternating them with the new ones!</p>
<h2>Will sports massage definitely help my shin splints running injury?</h2>
<p>There are no guarantees with any treatment modality (and most &#8216;cures&#8217; require a combination of approaches and training or lifestyle changes) but with City Sports Massage you <em>will</em> have had a great treatment that has helped realign your aching muscles, given you a greater understanding of your body, and hopefully helped prepare you for the road ahead! We never suggest pointless return treatments, <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/london-massage-therapist-testimonials-for-jacky-sayers/" title="as our clients will verify" target="_blank">as our clients will verify</a>.

We want to get you on the road to recovery asap! </p>
