Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage that releases, realigns, and re-balances the muscles and ligaments of the body, complimented with stretches and exercises.

Our specialist massage therapists are trained to manipulate and mobilise tissue to relieve pain and discomfort or aid you in your day-to-day activities. Massage, applied skilfully, is one of the most effective therapies for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system.

Having regular sessions can help athletes prevent injuries that might otherwise be caused by overuse. A constant build-up of muscle tension from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments and tendons, as well as the muscles themselves, which in the long term can lead to unwanted strain when carrying out sporting activities.

Hand and Wrist Therapy

Hand physiotherapists treat patients who have conditions affecting the hands and upper limbs. Pain within the hands can occur in any joint due to overuse, an acute injury or a degenerative condition. Treatments help to alleviate pain through splinting, exercise, manual therapy, and self-management techniques. Some hand pain conditions, such as sprains, are short-term and require acute treatm...

DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization)

Due to our modern-day circumstances of sitting at a desk all day, pushing ourselves too hard at the gym, or unconsciously having uneven posture, the instinctive patterns we developed as infants to be able to walk become distorted. Consequently, over time, our stability becomes compromised, which often results in overloading other areas of our bodies (mainly in our joints), leading to injury ... Read More

Consequently, over time, our stability becomes compromised, which often results in overloading other areas of our bodies (mainly in our joints), leading to injury and pain in those areas.

With the DNS method, Sara can pinpoint these instability points and work on restoring those innate patterns and stability. As a result, your body will be more evenly loaded, and those overloaded areas will find some relief. Therefore, it allows you to continue doing the activities you love, like gardening, tennis, or yoga, for longer.

Sara is a Spanish physiotherapist from Pamplona, the city known worldwide for the “Running of the bulls”. Physiotherapy has been her vocation ever since she was badly injured at the age of 12 while playing football. Sara graduated from the International University of Catalonia in Barcelona in 2004. In 2005, Sara decided to widen her knowledge as a therapist by doing a 5-year post-graduate course in Osteopathy (from the E.O.M. in Madrid). Sara has also trained in Dry needling and DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization).

After 9 years working in Musculoskeletal, Sports and Road Traffic Accident Rehabilitation in Pamplona, Sara moved to London with her partner with the aim of learning English and sharing knowledge with other professionals from all around the world. She spent 4 years working in busy and demanding clinics in the City of London and South Kensington (including Physical Edge), where she gained a great deal of valuable experience.

Sara believes treating the symptoms is only the first step in the rehabilitation process; tackling the problem at its root and involving the patient in their own recovery are also key factors to provide a more durable solution.

In her spare time, Sara likes running, climbing, playing tennis and also paddle tennis (a rather popular sport in Spain which combines the fun of tennis with the trickiness of being in an enclosed court).
