  Nik and Sav provide a first class service. They have been supporting me through ACL and meniscus surgery and have guided me through the ups and downs of rehab. They tailored programmes for me and monitored my strength with data which was great in seeing my progress and kept me motivated and on track. Friendly and very knowledgeable - I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you both for all of your help!

  Nik and Sav were great. Super professional and incredibly thorough. I had a rigorous assessment of my entire lower body. They found all sorts of weaknesses which helped explain my long list of injuries over the years playing sport. They even analyzed my running gait and did pressure work for assessing which legs I favour when I jump, land and squat. Despite being a very amateur sportsmen, I felt treated like a premier league football player. The level of attention was first class. They gave me a comprehensive rehab routine featuring multiple exercises. Hopefully, following the schedule I will start to strengthen my body, address my weaknesses, recover quicker & decrease my chance of getting injured. I cannot recommend them highly enough. 5 stars

  What a great clinic! Nik has helped me with various injuries over the years and most recently helped my dad with rehabilitation following spinal surgery. He is clear, empathetic, and understands his client needs. I have seen him adapt his style for me vs my dad (he knows not to overload like some physios I have used in the past) and his positive demeanour ensures motivation. I have nothing but great things to say about DP and Nik. Highly recommend to anybody that has an injury or wants to ensure peak performance. Thanks to Nik and the whole team!

Helping me with my tennis elbow and shin splints. I could not recommend his treatment enough .

  I couldn’t speak more highly of the excellent service received from DP Sports. I started treatment for a torn meniscus and damaged knee cartilage and was fully expecting surgery to be required. Effective diagnosis and sessions to build up my strength removed the constant pain in just 5 weeks. An ongoing workplan has seen me continue my rehabilitation and, as a squash player, am getting back to regular exercise. Excellent service.

  Both my daughters have been treated by Nik for ankle injuries. His detailed assessment and understanding of the injury, gave both my daughters confidence to know they could continue to play their respective sports, if they followed the correct rehab procedure outlined by Nik.  I would lightly recommend Nik

  Cannot thank Nik enough for helping fix my knee pain. I first had an appointment at the beginning of December, 7 weeks out from starting a spring marathon training block. My issue was identified immediately and after 5 appointments and progressive exercises I’m 2 weeks into training pain free! Thanks again - couldn’t recommend enough :)

Is Sports Massage Therapy for me?

Choosing sports massage therapy may be for a number of reasons.

You may be training at a high level or working at a high level of intensity and keen to prevent or manage mild niggles, aches or pains that can occur.

Or perhaps you have tried other sports massages and are keen on having a more in depth assessment with different technique options to manage your recovery.

Our sports massage therapy allows you to have tailored treatment with different techniques based on an individualised assessment and preference.

What Treatments does Sports Massage Therapy involve?

Movement Assessment

A vital component of our Sports Massage Therapy treatment is the initial movement assessment. This quick assessment allows us to identify areas of reduced mobility, potential causes of niggles/pains when training, and gives a benchmark for improvement in your sessions.

Cupping

Cupping therapy has become an extremely popular treatment choice with many athletes including Michael Phelps.

At DP Sports Performance & Injury Clinic we provide dry cupping, which uses silicone cups to create suction on the skin. The area can then be lifted and mobilised, or left in place to provide soft tissue relief.

Sports Massage Techniques

Sports massage techniques are often used to release or relax soft tissue structures that may be causing or contributing to pain or stiffness. These techniques often tend to be deeper and can be uncomfortable if you are not used to having sports massages. Our sports therapists also include stretching, trigger point release work and massage gun treatments as part of their sports massage technqiues.

Sports Taping

Sports Taping is often associated with the colourful tape seen on professional athletes. Sports taping involves the use of specifically designed elasticated tape, applied to the body in a way that helps support muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons. This stability can help alleviate pain and speed up recovery from injury.

Needling & Electroacupuncture

Dry needling & electro-acupuncture are techniques used to treat trigger points. A fine needle or acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin and muscle at hyper-irritable spots. These spots can often cause weakness and restricted movement. During electroacupuncture, a small electrical current is further applied to the needle to enhance the treatment.

This treatment is only carried out by a fully trained sports therapist that has undergone further training in these techniques.
