Sports Massage for Back Pain New Malden

Back Pain Treatment

Treating back pain at its source.

Most back pain is not a back problem. It's driven by tight hip flexors, restricted thoracic mobility, weak glutes or piriformis dysfunction — all of which put excess load on the lumbar spine and surrounding muscles.

Sports massage addresses these contributing structures directly, rather than just working on where the pain presents. Sessions begin with an assessment of how you move to identify what's actually driving the problem.

Effective for desk workers, drivers, manual workers and active people — whether the pain is chronic or came on suddenly.

Back Pain Conditions

Specific back conditions Nick treats.

Back pain presents in many ways. These are the most common patterns seen in the clinic.

😣

Lower Back Pain

Lumbar stiffness or sharp pain — often caused by tight hip flexors and glutes placing excess strain on the lower back. Responds well to targeted massage.

⚡

Sciatica

Pain, numbness or tingling radiating down the leg. Often caused by piriformis tightness or nerve tension — highly responsive to soft tissue release.

🦴

SI Joint Dysfunction

Deep, one-sided ache in the lower back or buttock. Associated with pelvic imbalance and hip restriction — treated effectively with soft tissue work.

💼

Desk-Related Back Pain

Prolonged sitting shortens hip flexors and switches off glutes, overloading the lower back. Extremely common in office workers and drivers.

🔄

Muscle Spasm

Acute or chronic spasm in the erector spinae or quadratus lumborum — painful and limiting, often a sign of underlying dysfunction.

🏗️

Manual Worker Strain

Repetitive lifting, twisting and physical work accumulates strain. Regular treatment reduces load and prevents escalation to injury.

What to Expect

A session built around your back pain.

No two people's back pain is the same. Before treatment begins, Nick asks about your symptoms, history and lifestyle to understand what's driving the problem — then treats the actual cause, not just where it hurts.

Treatment typically includes work through the lumbar spine, gluteal muscles, hip flexors and thoracic spine. You'll leave with specific advice to support recovery between sessions.
