Sports and remedial massage is an important part of patient care at West London Physiotherapy. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing muscle tension, or looking to reduce stress, our experienced massage therapists can help you feel better, move more freely, and perform at your best.
Muscle tightness and soreness are common. They can come from sport, exercise, posture, stress, or surgery. If ignored, they may cause pain, fatigue, headaches, and restricted movement.
Massage therapy helps by:
No referral needed — you can book a massage appointment directly online or by phone. You do not need to be injured or a current patient to benefit from our massage therapy.
For injury recovery or specific muscle problems, a course of 4–6 sessions is often recommended. For general maintenance, stress relief, or performance support, many clients attend every 2–4 weeks on an ongoing basis. Your therapist will advise at your first session.
Sessions are typically 45 or 60 minutes. We recommend 60 minutes for full-body work or complex areas such as the back and shoulders. Your therapist will confirm the most appropriate duration when you book.
Sports massage focuses on muscles used in sport and physical activity — it incorporates stretching, compression, and techniques targeted at performance and injury recovery. Deep tissue massage uses sustained pressure on deeper muscle layers and connective tissue, making it effective for chronic tension and postural problems. Our therapist will recommend the most suitable approach for your needs.
Good massage should never be more than ‘comfortable discomfort.’ If we are working on an area of tension or injury, you may feel some intensity, but we always work within your tolerance. Communication is key — please always tell your therapist if anything feels uncomfortable, and they will adjust immediately.
