Clinical, targeted treatment for muscle pain, tightness, injury and recovery. Private practice at Beverley Road, New Malden KT3 4AW, serving South West London for over 13 years. 66 five-star reviews. First session £80.
Sports massage is a clinical, hands-on therapy targeting the muscles, tendons and soft tissue to resolve pain, restricted movement and dysfunction. Unlike a relaxation massage, every technique has a specific outcome in mind, and every session starts with understanding what your body actually needs.
Nick works from his private practice on Beverley Road, New Malden (KT3 4AW). He identifies what is driving the problem and applies targeted treatment, whether that is a specific injury, chronic tightness, or a pattern that hasn't responded to rest. For deep-seated or longstanding tension, deep tissue massage may be more appropriate, and Nick can advise after the first session.
Most clients are not athletes. Desk workers, drivers, parents and people with everyday pain make up the majority of the caseload. If your body is getting in the way of daily life, sports massage is likely to help. Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes, and the 90-minute session is the most popular, allowing thorough work across multiple areas for results that last.
Chronically tight quads, hamstrings, calves or hip flexors restricting movement and causing referred pain elsewhere in the body.
Often driven by tight hips, weak glutes or restricted upper back mobility rather than the back itself. Treatment addresses the actual cause. See back pain treatment.
Tight suboccipital and upper trapezius muscles are a leading cause. Massage addresses this pattern directly and effectively. See tension headaches.
IT band syndrome, runner's knee, plantar fasciitis and calf strains, all commonly and effectively treated. See sports massage for runners.
A result of desk posture, stress or repetitive use. Targeted work through the upper back and shoulder girdle resolves the pattern. See neck pain and shoulder pain.
Piriformis syndrome and nerve tension causing pain, numbness or tingling down the leg, often highly responsive to soft tissue work. See sciatica.

"Very professional, knowledgeable and attentive. Nick took an interest in finding the cause of my shoulder and neck pain (experienced for more than 10 years) and worked on an old spasm in my lower back that no other therapist had been interested in."
AlexandraClient · Google Review"Extremely attentive, genuine and a master of his craft. Nick really listens and tailors every session to what you actually need. I always leave feeling like a different person."
JamalOffice Worker · Google Review"I came in with tight hip flexors, which were quickly and efficiently relieved, allowing me to continue playing sports without any restrictions or physical limitations. He was also able to quickly pick up on other areas of my body that were tight and lacking optimal movement, that I wasn't aware of before coming in."

Sports massage treats muscle tightness, lower back pain, tension headaches, running injuries, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica and a wide range of other musculoskeletal problems, not just sports injuries.
For an acute injury or recent problem, 2 to 3 sessions close together produces the fastest results. For chronic or longstanding issues, allow 4 to 6 sessions. For ongoing maintenance, monthly works well for most people.
It can feel intense in tight or overloaded areas, but it should never be unbearable. Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort. Some people experience mild soreness for 24 to 48 hours afterwards, which is normal and passes quickly.
