Advanced Massage Therapy
THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF REMEDIAL SPORTS MASSAGE AND DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Massage has been recognised for centuries in many countries and cultures around the world for its effectiveness in promoting healing and relaxation. Massage therapy can assist recovery from an injury as well as treat and prevent the build-up of muscular tension, knots and “trigger points” that can cause the body to under-perform in sports or lead to pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia and tension headaches.
Truly therapeutic massage therapy needs to be firm enough to stretch the deepest layers of a muscle whilst at the same time intuitive and sensitive enough to tune-in to the body’s ability to relax and unwind. Unfortunately, the beauty industry is responsible for having high-jacked this ancient healing art with more emphasis on the lotions and potions used during light, superficial massage, rather than on the specific deep tissue release techniques and the expertise of the individual therapist.
About Us
Spine Plus Clinics were established by Osteopath Robert Shanks (author of “Back Pain Decoded). We have been redefining treatment for back pain, neck pain, and other orthopaedic problems (including shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and foot problems) for the past two decades, having established and run clinics in Essex and Central London (Harley Street).
We offer a multidisciplinary approach including Osteopathy, dry needling (Medical Acupuncture), MRI & Ultrasound scans, soft tissue & joint injections, shock wave therapy, Theraflex, LASER, TECAR Therapy…and our “legendary” neck and shoulder muscle release techniques!
We’re also one of the UK’s leading and most experienced providers of IDD Therapy, the gold standard in Spinal Disc Decompression for alleviating pressure on damaged, slipped and bulging discs in the spine capable of helping people avoid injections and surgery.

Why choose us for your massage therapy?
Training & expertise of our therapists:
All our massage therapists have qualified from respected institutions such as The London School of Sports Massage. Furthermore, all our massage therapists have had to pass our own rigorous in-house recruitment process, plus we invest lots of time in continually training our massage therapists so that they are at the top of their game.
Technique:
We use a range of massage techniques depending on your needs and wishes ranging from gentle stroking and kneading using oil/cream to promote blood flow, to more advanced, deeper, clinical massage techniques such as “cross fibre” and trigger point release that uses little or no oil and require precise knowledge of human anatomy and physiology.
Teamwork:
At Spine Plus we value the therapeutic power of deep myofascial release massage techniques. Our massage therapists work as part of a clinical team which includes physiotherapists and osteopaths (who also use plenty of deep massage during their treatments) and who are on hand to assist our massage therapists when necessary.

We offer shock wave therapy as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with manual therapy, dry needling and LASER
Shoulder Pain & Tendinitis
Shockwave therapy can be highly effective for certain types of shoulder pain including (calcific) tendinopathy and tendonitis
