Shiatsu

The clinic at Blackfriars
In the past nine years we have treated more than 2,000 clients with a very broad range of issues. All of our therapists are fully qualified and insured and belong to some of the leading professional bodies in the industry.
The clinic director, Wolfgang Mittelmaier, is a registered PruHealth provider - you can therefore usually have your treatment costs covered by PruHealth if you are on one of their packages that covers remedial massage and you book your treatments with him.
The clinic is located 10 minutes walk from Temple under-ground station at no. 3, Tudor Street within the Topnotch Healthclubs Blackfriars:
You do not have to be a member of the club. The clinic is entirely independent of the club.
Our clients come from all over Greater London, but many of them will be from Central London areas like Blackfriars, the Temple, St.Paul's, Holborn, Monument, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Southwark, the Southbank, Waterloo, Charing Cross, the Strand, Fleet Street or generally anybody with easy access to City Thameslink, as we are only 5 minutes walk away from both City Thameslink and Blackfriars train stations.

What is Sports and Remedial or Deep Tissue Massage?
Sports and Remedial Massage or Deep Tissue Massage is a deep treatment that loosens up tight muscles, breaks up adhesions in muscle fibres, and generally focuses on restoring and/or maintaining the full functionality of your muscles. It can help your muscles perform better and prevent injury. Muscle injuries will often heal more effectively with the help of sports massage.
If you have a tight neck, tight calf muscles or similar issues, or if you are recovering from an injury, several weekly sessions would be ideal. If you are fit and healthy, a monthly massage session will help you stay that way.
Among the many conditions that often improve with sports and remedial massage are:
- sore lower back
- sciatic pain
- neck/shoulder pain
- tension headaches
- tennis elbow or other wrist/forearm pain
- tight calves and/or hamstrings
- knee and other joint pain
If you wonder whether sports and remedial massage is the right thing for you, give me a ring or send me an e-mail.
We will be happy to advise you and also recommend other therapists to you, if required.
