What It Is and Who It’s For
Sports and deep tissue massage uses focused pressure and manipulation of muscle and connective tissue to release tightness, improve mobility and support recovery. Regular sessions may help enhance performance, aid recovery between training blocks and reduce the risk of injury for people training consistently. It suits athletes managing training load, from Fightzone London and Basis London members to Whippets FC players and Lea Valley Rowing Club rowers, as well as anyone with persistent muscular tightness, tension headaches, or a niggle that has not resolved on its own. It can be used on its own or alongside physiotherapy treatment for a more complete plan.
How we treat you
What to expect at your first visit
Your first session starts with a short conversation about your training, your problem areas and what you are hoping to get from massage, whether that is general maintenance or help with a specific tight spot. Your therapist will assess the area before starting hands-on work. Pressure is adjusted to what feels right for you throughout, and you will be given aftercare advice, including how much water to drink, what to expect over the next day or two, and whether follow-up sessions or complementary physiotherapy would be useful.

What our patients say
“I cannot recommend Joana highly enough. From my first appointment, Joana was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my recovery. She took the time to thoroughly assess my injury, explained the cause and created a tailored plan which resulted in a full recovery.”
Posted on Google“Joana is a wonderful physio! She guided me through my entire rehabilitation following ankle surgery. I started out in a wheelchair, and within just a handful of weeks, I was back to exercising thanks to her extensive hands-on treatment.”
Posted on Google“Sajj is honestly second to none! I'm a runner and work in finance so suffer from various pains from hip bursitis to neck pain due to stress and everything in between… Sajj (unlike many physios) takes a holistic approach and really reads into the root cause.”
