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 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 increase the blood flow – hydrating the muscle fibres 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 bring you welcome relief from your symptoms.
Sports massage can be an important tool in helping facilitate recovery of damaged soft tissue but it is also invaluable in preventing occurrence or reoccurrence of injury 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 stimulate the body’s lymphatic system — a key part of your immune and detoxification processes. By encouraging the natural flow of lymph fluid, this technique helps to reduce swelling, support healing, and enhance overall wellbeing. Our osteopath, Mollie, integrates her expert understanding of anatomy and gentle hands-on techniques to promote better circulation, decrease fluid retention, and aid recovery after injury or surgery. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing post-operative swelling, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, or a general sense of sluggishness. It’s also an excellent option for anyone looking to support their immune health and 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.

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 both safe and effective for mother and baby.
