Sports massage is a powerful, hands-on therapy designed to support both active individuals and anyone dealing with everyday muscle tension. It uses deep tissue techniques, stretching, and targeted pressure to help release tightness, reduce pain, and improve overall movement.
At Osteotherapy Lab in Clapham, South London, sports massage isn’t just for athletes – it’s for anyone looking to recover faster, move more freely, and keep their body performing at its best.
