Sports Massage in Holloway N7 | Straight Up Holloway Road

Who books with us from N7

Holloway is a busy, mixed part of north London and that shows in who walks through the door. Students and staff from London Metropolitan University's Holloway Road campus book around study, work and training. Climbers, gym members and five-a-side players from the Sobell Leisure Centre on Hornsey Road come in for shoulder, forearm, hip and lower back work. Retail and hospitality staff from the Nag's Head shops and Holloway Road come for the recurring neck, shoulder and lower back pain that goes with long shifts on your feet. And plenty of everyday residents simply want consistent, local treatment without crossing town.

Getting here from Holloway

The simplest route is straight up Holloway Road. From the Nag's Head it's about a 15-minute walk to Archway, then a minute onto Junction Road. If you'd rather ride, the 43, 271, 263 and 17 all run up Holloway Road towards Archway and stop within a short walk of the clinic. From Holloway Road tube station on the Piccadilly Line the clinic is roughly 1.2km north — an easy bus hop or a brisk walk. Caledonian Road & Barnsbury on the Overground is also within reach.

Treatments most-booked by Holloway clients

For gym-goers, climbers and runners, the go-to is a 60- or 90-minute sports and deep tissue massage. Desk workers and students dealing with neck, shoulder and lower back tension usually start with the Back & Neck Pain MOT. For pain that hasn't settled with general massage elsewhere, advanced clinical massage takes an assessment-led approach to the root cause.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to the clinic from Holloway Road or the Nag's Head?

Holloway Road runs straight up to Archway, where it becomes Junction Road. From the Nag's Head it is about a 15-minute walk, or a few stops on the 43, 271, 263 or 17 bus towards Archway. From Holloway Road tube (Piccadilly Line) the clinic is roughly 1.2km north.

Do you treat gym-goers and students from London Metropolitan University?

Yes. London Met's main campus is on Holloway Road, and a lot of students, staff and nearby gym-goers book sports and deep tissue massage for training niggles, desk-and-study posture and general muscle tension. Evening and weekend slots suit study and shift patterns.

Is the clinic handy for the Sobell Leisure Centre and Emirates area?

It is. The Sobell Leisure Centre (climbing, gym, ice rink) on Hornsey Road and the Emirates Stadium area are both a short bus ride or cycle from the clinic. Climbers, five-a-side players and gym members from around the Nag's Head book regularly for shoulder, forearm, hip and lower back work.

What do most Holloway clients book?

The most-booked treatments from N7 are sports and deep tissue massage for gym and running niggles, and the Back & Neck Pain MOT for desk and study posture. Every session starts with an assessment so treatment is matched to how you present on the day.
