​Sports Massage in Bromley – Relieve Pain, Improve Recovery, Move Better

At Bromley Sports Injury Clinic, our tailored sports massage therapy helps you recover faster, move more freely, and prevent injuries before they happen.

​

What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a targeted, deep-tissue therapy that focuses on the muscles, fascia, and connective tissues used most during activity. It is suitable for:

  • Pre- and post-exercise recovery

  • Injury prevention and rehabilitation

  • Long-term tightness or restricted mobility

  • Desk-based posture strain

  • Active people managing chronic muscle tension

 

Benefits of Sports Massage

Regular sports massage offers a wide range of physical and performance benefits:

  • ✅ Relieves muscle tension and tightness

  • ✅ Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage

  • ✅ Enhances flexibility and joint range of motion

  • ✅ Aids injury prevention and recovery

  • ✅ Reduces stress and improves relaxation

  • ✅ Supports training plans and active lifestyles

​

Who Is It For?

Sports massage isn’t just for elite athletes. We regularly treat:

  • Runners, cyclists, weightlifters, and team sport players

  • People recovering from injury or dealing with long-term aches

  • Office workers with neck, shoulder, or back tension

  • Active adults aged 40+ managing stiffness or stress

​

Sports Massage vs Deep Tissue Massage – What’s the Difference?

While similar in technique, sports massage is more functional and targeted, often used as part of an injury prevention or rehab plan. It focuses on specific areas of strain or overload based on your sport, training history, or occupation.

​

Combine Sports Massage With Other Treatments

At Bromley Sports Injury Clinic, we can integrate sports massage with:

  • Strength & Conditioning

  • Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

  • Injury Rehabilitation
