Our chiropractors and osteopaths all use massage techniques in their treatments. However, if you are really emotionally tense or have trained really hard in the gym, it is also really enjoyable to get those deep muscle knots unlocked by an expert massage therapist.
At our Notting Hill Clinic we are lucky to have Frank Farmani as a key member of the team. He is an expert at tailoring his massages to your individual needs, adjusting the pressure and techniques to different parts of the body
Within Frank’s treatments you can completely unwind in a peaceful setting, this allows you to relax your body and mind at the deepest level.
Massaging tight muscles can be really useful if you have done a heavy training session and need to recover quickly.
In fact we use sports massage as one of our treatment techniques to help alleviate pain and tightness.
However, if you are regularly getting tight muscles after training, developing injuries or tight muscles on one side only, then you should really address the underlying cause of your problem instead of wasting your time and money on endless sports massage treatments.
Top 3 causes of muscle tightness
An unevenly loaded spine can cause muscles on one side to work too hard and become tighter over time. Treatment to realign the spine and pelvis is essential to prevent further injuries from developing.
Lots of sports involve one-sided movement, such as golf, tennis or football. It is important to design a corrective exercise program to counterbalance these one-sided movements.
Previous injuries, such as tendonitis, muscle tears or old surgeries can weaken one part of the body, this causes other areas to work harder. Following a well-designed treatment and rehab programme will address this problem.
At Pro Performance, we are different to other clinics. We use a variety of treatment techniques to relieve your tight muscles and fix the cause of your tight muscles, not just sports massage.
A firm pressure massage to unlock the deepest knots in your body. Frank uses a variety of techniques to release tension at a deep level. He specialises in working at exactly the right pressure, firm enough to unlock the knots without making you wince in pain.

Some discomfort can occur during a sports massage, especially when addressing tight or sore muscles. However, it should never be unbearably painful. Our chiropractors and osteopaths adjust the pressure they use during treatment to suit your comfort and needs.
