			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just to let you know that Chris &#8216;Hero Hands&#8217; Herotodou has now replaced Jon Gee on Tuesdays AND Thursdays at HLC, whilst he takes some time away from our Islington location to plan the next stage of our small company&#8217;s development. </p>
<p>But you&#8217;ll still find Jon at Natureworks, our Mayfair location, twice a week. You can of course see all of our schedules on the website, right <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/_/sports-massage-london-contact.php">here</a>.</p>
<p>And in other therapist news, Monika and Judit have had a great start with the company, and report that they&#8217;re really enjoying meeting all of our clients, old and new. Zoe has left to pursue married life and Ellie is still nursing her babe, and so we&#8217;ve had to recruit a new team member. And boy, are we excited about this one..!</p>
<p><strong>Introducing&#8230;Vince South!</strong></p>
<p>Our newest member <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/_/sports-massage-london-about-us.php?panel=1">Vince South</a> has come to us from the world of formula one, after spending many years travelling the world with the F1 team as a race mechanic. He went on to specialise in fine tuning aerodynamic design features of F1 cars, testing them in wind tunnels in top secret laboratories.</p>
<p>These days Vince prefers to use his sensitivity and intelligence to help keep humans on the road. His attention to detail, teamwork, professionalism and efficiency ensures that he has seamlessly transferred his skillsets over to the world of sports and remedial massage.</p>
<p>And a word to the wise—during Vince’s interview process, Company Director Jon was left ‘smiling, and barely able to talk’ after receiving one of his fantastic massages! </p>
<p>Vince will be working at Natureworks (opposite Selfridges on Oxford Street) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Like all of our therapists, he will also be providing occasional cover at our other City Sports Massage locations too.</p>
<p>Come and check him out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;re in pain, stressed, and you need a massage &#8211; but you&#8217;re not sure where to go. There&#8217;s deep tissue massage, sports massage, and remedial massage, to name but a few. But why so many definitions? Is somebody trying to confuse us?</p>
<p>At it&#8217;s most fundamental, massage therapy (and for that matter most bodywork) is about *manipulation* of the muscoskeletal system.</p>
<p>So far, so simple.</p>
<p>But historically, business people have tried to name, and define their brand. By naming their product, they are able to to market it &#8211; to sell it, and in the case of massage therapy, to teach it.</p>
<p>So every massage therapy has a different name, and, when you consider that every massage therapist has had a different a different training, and has different personal skill sets, it&#8217;s easy to see why you can find yourself both confused and disappointed when you go for a treatment.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that an experienced, developed, able therapist will allow these imaginary divisions to blur &#8211; as each person who requests a treatment has their own unique requirements. We at City Sports Massage constantly challenge our therapists during their in-house training, with perceptions of what constitutes &#8217;sports massage&#8217;.</p>
<p>To give you an idea of &#8216;definitions&#8217;, you can read an outline of our massage treatments <a href="http://www.citysportsmassage.com/_/sports-massage-london-treatments.php">here.</a></p>
<p>But please remember; what is essential to you receiving a good treatment, is that your therapist is *listening* to you, and has the skills and experience to communicate with your body. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not really about the definition of the treatment, it&#8217;s about the definition of the relationship.</p>
