At Omnia Lifestyle
Manual therapy in London with experienced manual therapists
Manual therapy in London at Omnia Lifestyle is hands-on treatment for muscle tension, stiffness, sports recovery and pain that keeps coming back. At our Chiswick clinic you can choose from three options under one roof: sports massage for training and recovery, deep tissue massage for chronic neck, shoulder and back tension, and physiotherapist-led MSK therapy for pain that needs an assessment and a working diagnosis.
Our massage therapists are led by Patrick Chedmail, our manual therapy lead, while MSK therapy is delivered by our HCPC-registered physiotherapists Mohammad Heidari and Khushbu Tiwari. Every session starts with an assessment, so you get the right technique rather than a set routine. Massage starts at £65 for 30 minutes. Not sure which you need? Book a session and your therapist will confirm the best fit when you arrive.

Why people come
Why choose Omnia for massage and manual therapy in Chiswick
- Three techniques, one clinic. Sports massage, deep tissue massage and MSK therapy, so you get the right treatment rather than one style for everyone.
- Assessment before treatment. Every session starts by finding the tissue that is driving the problem.
- Physiotherapist-led MSK therapy. Diagnosis, joint mobilisation and a corrective plan when massage alone has not worked.
- Experienced team. Our manual therapy lead, Patrick Chedmail, works alongside our HCPC-registered physiotherapists.
- Relief now, and a plan to keep it. Hands-on work eases pain on the day, and simple stretches and exercises help keep it away.
- Integrated care. Physiotherapy, red light therapy and compression therapy under the same roof when recovery needs more.
The mechanism
How our three hands-on treatments differ
Sports massage combines deep strokes, trigger point release and myofascial work with assisted stretching and movement. It is built around your training: pre-event sessions are lighter and quicker, and recovery sessions focus on the muscles that carried the load.
Deep tissue massage works more slowly. Sustained pressure from the hands, forearms and elbows reaches the deeper layers of muscle and fascia, giving tight bands time to release and restoring glide where posture, overuse or stress has stiffened the tissue.
MSK therapy starts with a physiotherapist's assessment of posture, movement, strength and joints. Treatment combines soft tissue release and joint mobilisation, and finishes with corrective exercise so the change holds. If you need a longer physiotherapy programme, imaging or a GP review, your physiotherapist will tell you.

Who it helps
Which manual therapy is right for you?
- Training hard or preparing for an event. Choose sports massage for tight calves, hamstrings, hips and shoulders, and faster recovery between sessions.
- Neck, shoulder and back tension from desk work. Choose deep tissue massage for the stiffness and knots that build through the working day.
- Stress you carry in your body. Deep tissue massage eases raised shoulders, a clenched jaw and tension headaches.
- Pain that keeps coming back. Choose MSK therapy for an assessment, a working diagnosis and a corrective plan.
- A specific joint or injury. Back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee or elbow pain that needs more than massage suits MSK therapy with a physiotherapist.
- Pregnancy. Pregnancy massage is available, with positioning and pressure adapted for comfort.
What to expect
What to expect at your first manual therapy session
Every session begins with a short conversation: where you feel pain or tightness, what your day or training involves, any injuries or medical conditions, and what you want to get back to. Your therapist checks how you move, then treats the areas driving the problem, with pressure adjusted to you throughout. You are covered with towels and only the area being treated is uncovered; for MSK therapy, shorts and a vest top help the physiotherapist assess properly.
Sports and deep tissue massage can feel intense on very tight areas but should never be sharp or unbearable, so tell your therapist and they will adjust. It is normal to feel a little tender for a day or two. You leave with simple stretches or exercises and an honest suggestion of how many sessions will help. Sports and deep tissue massage sessions run 30 or 60 minutes.
Step by step
Your Manual Therapy visit, step by step
- Consultation. We ask where it hurts or feels tight, what your day or training involves and what you want to get back to.
- Assessment. Your therapist checks how you move and matches you to sports massage, deep tissue massage or MSK therapy.
- Treatment. Hands-on work on the tissues driving the problem, with pressure adjusted to your feedback.
- Aftercare. Stretches or exercises and a clear plan for the next few weeks.
What is manual therapy?
Manual therapy is hands-on treatment of the muscles, fascia and joints to reduce pain, ease stiffness and restore movement. It covers soft tissue techniques such as massage, trigger point release and myofascial work, and joint techniques such as mobilisation, usually combined with stretches or exercises so the improvement lasts. It is used for back and neck pain, shoulder and hip stiffness, sports injuries, postural strain and muscle tension.
If your assessment suggests you need a fuller rehabilitation plan, our physiotherapy team is in the same building.
