Sports & Soft Tissue Massage In Leeds & Surrounding Areas
The prime purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively.
It can also be useful to have a sports massage before exercise too. Doing it this way helps to prepare the muscles and soft tissue to ensure they are ready for activity. Alongside this they can also be useful to to manage long term issues such as postural problems or repetitive strain. The difference with a sports massage compared to a regular massage is that we look at what you need first and then apply the relevant action, so whether you have had an injury or just want to bring some life back to your muscle, we can help.

I would like to commend Charlie for the very friendly and professional way she managed the treatment I required when I damaged my Pelvis following a fall. I would never have reached my high level of recovery without the constant encouragement and support I received from her throughout our sessions. She is certainly an asset to Physio Action. Many thanks for your co-operation. Kind regards MB

Just to say how very grateful I am to you for your determined efforts to diagnose and get treatment for Jenni's back.She really had drawn a blank until she met you. I do hope that all your efforts will pay off and that she will be able to train and run again. With my sincere thanks.
Big Thank you to all at Physio Action for the excellent care I have had over the past 6 months. Without the comprehensive care from Gill and Kev before the Winter Olympics I would not have been able to compete. On my return I needed a significant operation followed by challenging rehabilitation that has been expertly led by Kev.
Could I pay tribute to the excellent pelvic floor physio session I have just had with Jaime Sawiuk at the Physio Action clinic. She was absolutely superb - I have a fairly complicated history and she was very knowledgeable and thorough while being gentle and compassionate - a true professional. Thank you.
