SMSM Therapy is a sports injury clinic in Bromley. Every appointment starts with an assessment, because the treatment that helps you depends entirely on what is actually causing the problem. Most sessions combine two or three of the treatments below rather than using one in isolation.
Hands-on treatment
Sports MassageTargeted work on a specific injury or problem area, whether you are training for something or simply want to move without pain. Suitable before an event, after one, or as regular maintenance.Deep Tissue MassageFirm, full-body or focused massage to release muscle tension, break down knots and reduce stress. Ideal for desk-related tightness through the neck, shoulders and lower back.Spinal ManipulationManual techniques to restore movement to stiff spinal joints, used where a joint is genuinely restricted, always alongside soft tissue work and exercise rather than on its own.
Acupuncture and cupping
Medical AcupunctureFine sterile needles used to settle persistent pain and release muscle that has stopped responding to hands-on treatment alone. Also known as dry needling, and aimed at specific trigger points rather than worked to a traditional point system.Cupping TherapySuction cups that lift and decompress tissue rather than pressing into it, often used across congested upper backs and stubborn lower backs.
Assessment and rehabilitation
Posture AnalysisA structured look at how you stand, sit and move, to find the habits and imbalances behind a recurring problem. Available as a free initial check.Exercise ProgramA specific set of exercises, with resistance bands where useful, so the improvement you feel on the couch holds between appointments.Pregnancy MassageSide-lying and fully supported, adapted for each trimester — most often for lower back and pelvic girdle pain.
