Sports Massage for Islington N1 | Direct Bus from Angel

Range and Restore is an easy trip north from Islington — a direct bus up Holloway Road, or a short hop on the Northern Line. The clinic is at 130 Junction Road, Archway, and is led by Carlos Bonvicine, a BTEC Level 5 Sports Massage and Soft Tissue Remedial Therapist and certified MLD practitioner. Many N1 clients travel up specifically for treatment that addresses the cause of their pain, not just the symptoms.

Who books with us from N1

Islington is office, media and hospitality country, and that shapes the pain we see. Desk and tech workers from around Angel, Upper Street and the Business Design Centre come in with the classic pattern — tight neck and shoulders, upper back knots and a stiff lower back from long hours at a screen. Hospitality staff from Upper Street's restaurants and bars book for the foot, lower back and shoulder strain of long shifts. And Islington has a serious running community — Highbury Fields and the canal towpath are full of them — who use sports massage to stay injury-free through training blocks.

Getting here from Islington

The most reliable route is the bus: the 43 and 271 run from Angel and Upper Street straight up through Highbury and Holloway to Archway, dropping you a short walk from the clinic. By tube, take the Northern Line from Angel to Archway, or come via Highbury & Islington. By bike it's a straightforward ride up through Highbury to Archway, and there are racks at the clinic end. By car or cab it's a short run up Holloway Road.

Treatments most-booked by Islington clients

For desk-related neck, shoulder and back pain, the Back & Neck Pain MOT is usually the right starting point. Runners and gym-goers book sports and deep tissue massage for maintenance and recovery. For chronic or stubborn pain — tension headaches, RSI, long-standing lower back issues — advanced clinical massage takes a more detailed, assessment-led approach.

This page is for clients across Islington and Angel, including the streets around Upper Street, Highbury Corner and the Caledonian Road. If you're on the northern edge of N1, the clinic is even closer via Holloway. See all the areas we serve across north London.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth travelling from Islington for sports massage?

Many N1 clients do exactly that. Every session is assessment-led and delivered by a BTEC Level 5 therapist, so treatment is matched to the root cause of your pain rather than a generic protocol. Clients tell us the results are worth the short journey up from Angel or Upper Street.

How do I get to the clinic from Angel or Upper Street?

The 43 and 271 buses run from Angel and Upper Street straight up through Highbury and Holloway to Archway, stopping a short walk from the clinic. By tube it is Angel (Northern Line) or Highbury & Islington to Archway. By car or cab it is a short run up Holloway Road.

Do you treat desk workers and hospitality staff from Upper Street?

Yes. Office and tech workers around Angel and the Business Design Centre, and the many hospitality staff working Upper Street's bars and restaurants, are a large part of our N1 clientele — usually for neck, shoulder and lower back tension from desks or long shifts on their feet.

Do you have early, evening or weekend appointments?

Yes. The clinic is open 08:00–20:00 on weekdays and 09:00–17:00 at weekends, which works well for professionals travelling before or after work, and for hospitality staff with later starts.
