SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports Massage is an intensive deep tissue massage designed to ease general muscular aches and pains, whether caused by injuries on the sports field or the stresses and strains of day-to-day life. Two of our Osteopaths, Dominic and Li-Leng, are highly skilled in Sports Massage and will use this intensive massage approach along with various stretches and inhibition techniques to reduce tension in the symptomatic areas. The aim is to ease pain, promote flexibility and improve circulation, helping muscles relax and reducing those nagging knots.
Whether you are suffering from muscle spasms following a slipped disc, have tension headaches caused by tight muscles from sitting at your desk, or if you’ve simply pulled a muscle from your training regime — sports massage can help provide welcome relief from your symptoms.
Sports massage can be an important tool in helping facilitate recovery of strained soft tissue, but it is also valuable in helping reduce the likelihood of injury reoccurring and so can be beneficial at any time.
New to Wandsworth Town Osteopathy is Lymphatic Drainage Massage. Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic therapy designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid within the body. By supporting lymphatic flow, this technique may help reduce swelling, support tissue recovery, and promote general wellbeing. Our osteopath, Mollie, integrates her expert understanding of anatomy and gentle hands-on techniques to encourage improved circulation, reduce fluid retention, and support recovery following injury or surgery. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing post-operative swelling or fluid retention. It may also be helpful for individuals who feel puffy, sluggish, or are looking to support overall wellbeing. It’s an excellent option for anyone wanting to feel lighter, refreshed, and restored.
Pregnancy Massage is also available at Wandsworth Town Osteopathy. Pregnancy massage is a tailored therapeutic approach designed to support the unique physical changes and demands of pregnancy. Using safe, gentle techniques, both our practitioners Li-Leng and Dominic focus on relieving muscular tension, improving circulation, and promoting optimal joint alignment throughout each stage of pregnancy. This treatment can help alleviate common discomforts such as lower back or pelvic pain, leg swelling, and postural strain, while supporting better sleep and overall wellbeing. As osteopaths, Li-Leng and Dominic bring a deep understanding of anatomy and perinatal health to ensure that every session is appropriate, safe and tailored for mother and baby.
