SPORTS MASSAGE IN LONDON - CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GOOD ONE

I need to find a sports massage therapist in London. Can anyone recommend a good one. Either close to Central London - so I can go during or after work, or near Putney so I can go at weekends.

Thanks

  • I had a good deep tissue massage from Body Tissue. They also do sports massage. Bit pricey but they come to you.

  • Body Tissue. They also do sports massage. Bit pricey but good and they travel to you.

    (Don't know what happened to the first attempt...)
  • I use "Balance" at Clapham North - they're a dedicated sports physio' and very good.
  • I would recommend Diane Shields (0207531 4444)- but she is based in Canary Wharf - if you find anyone good in Putney I would love to know!

    I use them. Tres bien.

    There are more details on this web site, in HEALTH I think.
  • Resurrection time!

    Things are bound to have changed since this thread was active - does anyone have any experiences they can share?  Near Victoria would be good...

    Thanks y'all.

  • Physio4Life in Putney - they are brilliant. Don't even bother trying anywhere else if you live in Putters as well. I've used them a few times and always have been very professional.
  • Oh, opening times are really long - so caneven use pre-post work; rather than just teh weekend if in Putney.
  • I'm going to try Pure Sports Medicine (I went there for some Physio last year on my BUPA insurance, and they were excellent). I'll let you know what I think.
  • I'm using City Sports massage after the Paris marathon. 3 sites across town.
  • Update on Pure Sports: £60 for an hour of massage. The massage was excellent (painful at the time, but very effective in making me more supple); and the location was very convenient for a London City worker like myself. My masseuse was quite inexperienced, when compared to some of her colleagues (many of whom regularly massage professional atheletes), but I think I'll stick with her for the moment.

     I've heard of cheaper rates - closer to £20 per hour - but I can't make the comparison on quality.

     Any news on City Sports Massage Lee Jones 15?

  • Not been yet PR 4, booked in for when I get back from Paris but will let you all know!
  • There is a great sports masseuse, George, based at the Oasis centre in Holborn/Covent Garden.  £40 an hour and he isnt afraid to use pressure!
  • Sometimes I also go with London Massage Therapy good price and they are outcall so it doesn't matter where u r they'll come to u.

     Best of luck

  • I had a good sports massage in London at Massaggi. The therapist was very good at identifying the source of my injury and I had an improved range of motion at joint after the first session. The website address http://www.massaggi.co.uk
  • Hey there!

    As someone who's been pounding the pavements and parks of London for years - I'm now in my early 50's - I've had my fair share of the usual runner's woes – shin splints, the dreaded IT band syndrome, and even a bout of plantar fasciitis that nearly had me hanging up my trainers for good. It's the classic tale of a long-distance runner, pushing too hard and learning the hard way how important recovery is. That's where massage therapy came into the picture for me. It was a real eye-opener to how much quicker and more effectively I could recover and manage these injuries with regular sports massages. It's not just about easing those post-run aches, but actually preventing injuries and improving performance. So, when it comes to finding a good sports massage therapist in London, I've been down the road and can share a bit of what I've learned.

    I totally get where you're coming from – finding a good sports massage therapist in London can be a bit of a mission, but it's super important, especially after those long runs or intense workouts.

    First up, definitely look for someone with the right qualifications. A therapist who's got experience in sports massage is key. They just get the kind of muscle stress and strains we deal with, you know?

    Location-wise, you've got a couple of options. For after work in Central London, there are loads of places, but they can vary a lot in style and price. Near Putney for the weekends sounds like a great plan – it's such a nice area to unwind in after a hectic week.

    Have you thought about going for a mobile massage therapist? I came across this site www.themassagerooms.com a while back. They've got a bunch of therapists who specialise in different styles, including sports massage, and they come to you, which is super convenient. It's been a game-changer for me, especially on those lazy Sunday mornings when the last thing I want to do is trek across London for a massage.

    Another thing – don't forget to chat with your therapist about your specific needs, like if you're training for an event or have any niggles. A good therapist will tailor the session to what your body needs.

    Hope this helps and you find the perfect match for those tired muscles! Keep up the great running! 🏃‍♂️💆‍♂️👍
