welcome news

Despite its name Sports Massage is for both sports persons and non sports persons alike. My treatments work on improving the quality of the soft tissues within the body. The blood supply is increased, releasing tension, flushing through lactic acid and realigning scar tissue. I work to redress imbalances built up through training and everyday activities, allowing my patients greater freedom of movement and consequently, better quality of life.

Numerous techniques are used throughout my treatments to ensure the best results with the minimal discomfort.

I work deeply and instinctively, responding to the muscles and soft tissues in the body; tailoring each treatment to the patient’s physical needs or injuries.

I treat out of clinics in North London, NW1 and NW5.

about katie my tweets

Katie qualified as a Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist in June 2007 from the London School of Sports Massage. She is a member of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage and also qualified as a Medical Acupuncturist in July 2013, under OMT Training London.

Katie has built up an extensive clientele in the north London area, ranging from professional sports men and women, dancers, marathon runners and race car drivers to musicians, business people, administrators, full time mums and people recovering from serious operations, accidents and injuries.

Since 2010 Katie has been working with the WWE Wrestlers throughout their UK tours.

Katie trained as a Contemporary Dancer at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds. She then worked as a professional dancer for 6 years, retiring because of wear and tear and the particular physical strains that this life imposed on her body. This makes her peculiarly sympathetic to injuries arising from dance and other athletic pursuits. Katie currently teaches at The Place for Richard Alston Dance Company and the YPS classes.

"Katie has been my massage therapist for over three years, working wonders in assisting my recovery following a ruptured cruciate ligament caused by a skiing accident. I suffer from chronic RSI pains and she is the only therapist I have found who offers the relief I need, and I've tried everything - physiotherapists, acupuncture, jaunts to Thailand for daily Thai massages. I've yet to meet anyone who matches her healing skills. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone."

"I can honestly say that after seeing a number of massage therapists, both locally and internationally, it is a blessing to find one as intuitive, caring and professional as Katie. I have been treated regularly by her and actively refer my patients to her for a wide range of muscular problems. That in itself is the ultimate expression of belief in someone."
Max Atkinson DC MCC, Registered Chiropractor

"I have been seeing Katie for deep tissue sports massage for just over a year. As a committed triathlete, the training required for multisport fatigues the whole body. I had particular problems with calf pain, IT Band, lower back and more often than not other areas that I didn't even realise were sore - I think Katie must have X-Ray powers and some how manages to pin point hot spots within tight muscles and works them thoroughly and effectively. I have sometimes shuffled into the therapy room, barely moving my legs and certainly left with more spring in my step. I would highly recommend her work for any sports related issues"
James Lumb, MArch(Hons)

"Having suffered a spinal injury 9 years ago, I have been lucky to get away with minimal damage, but over the years other back problems have resulted. I suffered great lower back pain and tried several physios and doctors, even going as far as having steroid injections into the facet joints. As a racing driver (champion 2009 at the Nurburgring) it is key to have flexibility in the lower spine and to suffer from as little pain as possible. Katie Scott has been the only person able to free up my lower spine and provide advice on how to help myself to keep this problem at bay. Highly recommend for those looking for serious solutions to muscular pain!"

"Katie has given me my body back. She’s a total expert in getting to grips with all my tension caused by various injuries over the years and a couple of days after seeing her I’m walking on air. The best massage I’ve ever had."
Sally Lovell, Creative Marketing

"It was a real surprise that such a lovely delicate lady has the reserves of strength and experience to give me a really deep, excavating and healing massage."
Tim Wentworth, Retired

"I was recommended Katie via a friend and could feel a difference from the first session. Katie is great at identifying the problem areas which have really helped with the sports and activities I'm involved in. Plus she's really easy to chat to which put me at ease straight away!"
Genie Powers

"I had a very serious accident in 2007 and as a result I have been unable to have full use of my left arm, a result of which creates continuous back pain. Since my injury I have been treated by Katie on a monthly basis for my back pain and she has adapted her treatment therapy to enable me to use, as fully as now possible, my arm. Recently I have taken up a more sporting lifestyle and Katie has, in addition to the 'routine' treatments I receive, modified my monthly visits to treatment which benefits me in these activities. I cannot commend her highly enough for her professionalism and skills and would recommend her to anyone requiring muscular treatments, thanks Katie."
Daniel O'Conner, Maidstone, Kent

"I don't easily recommend people but Katie is one in a million. She is professional, skilled and just seems to know exactly what your body needs and can endure. Her massages have been an integral part of my marathon training, and they have worked wonders for me - I can't recommend her highly enough! Oh, and she is also a genuinely lovely person - bonus!"
