At Leamington Therapy, we understand that every body is different — and so is every massage. Whether you’re looking to simply relax and ease muscle tension, reduce stress, or support recovery from injury, your massage will be fully tailored using a combination of tried and tested techniques from Swedish, Deep Tissue, and/or Sports Massage.

Bespoke Massage, Time-Based Pricing

Rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment, we offer a flexible approach, taking time to understand your specific needs, concerns, and goals. This enables us to provide a bespoke massage service, tailored exactly to you. Whether you’re seeking relief from tension, recovering from injury, or simply looking to relax, we will work with you to create the most effective treatment possible.

Your session is guided by you. We charge by time, not by type — so you receive a personalised experience that truly meets your needs every time you visit. You can rest assured that your treatment plan will be designed to fit your individual needs.

Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Sports Massage: each offer unique benefits:

Swedish Massage

Ideal for relaxation, Swedish massage uses gentle to moderate pressure to soothe the nervous system, increase circulation, and ease everyday tension. This effleurage- focussed therapy is perfect if you’re feeling stressed or simply want to unwind.

Deep Tissue Massage

This technique targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s especially helpful for chronic pain, muscle tightness, or postural issues. Deep tissue massage can support recovery from overuse and improve mobility over time.

Sports Massage

Sports massage isn’t just for sporty people—it’s a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their physical well-being, relieve tension, and support their body’s natural recovery process.  Your feedback is encouraged as we explore your body’s responses: sports massage does not have to mean ‘grin and bear it’ techniques that leave you aching and bruised.  Whether you spend long hours at a desk, are a dedicated athlete, or simply want to feel more relaxed and refreshed, sports massage, often combined with other techniques, can offer significant benefits.

Relief from Everyday Aches and Pains

We all know that modern lifestyles often lead to muscle stiffness and imbalances, as well as those awful ‘knots’, whether from prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, or everyday physical tasks. Our customised massage works to release tightness, improve circulation, and reduce discomfort in common problem areas like the neck, shoulders, and lower back by employing a variety of techniques tailored to individual needs.

How does it work?

Gentle and relaxing effleurage strokes are used to start a session, helping to warm the muscles and prepare them for deeper work. This can be followed by more targeted techniques such as:

– stretches

– deep tissue massage

– soft tissue release (STR – sometimes known as ‘pin-and-stretch’)

-muscle energy technique (MET)

– trigger point therapy

– myo-fascial release

These are all designed to relieve discomfort, restore movement, and optimize muscle function.

Stress Reduction and Relaxation

Beyond the physical benefits, massage is a powerful tool for promoting relaxation and reducing stress. It has been shown to help regulate cortisol levels, the body’s stress hormone, while increasing endorphins that contribute to a sense of well-being. This makes it beneficial for those experiencing tension headaches, fatigue, or difficulty sleeping, offering a natural way to feel refreshed and balanced. 

Frustrated by stiffness and inflexibility?

If you often feel stiff or restricted in your movements, whether after exercise or in general, sports massage techniques can help improve flexibility by loosening tight muscles and increasing blood flow to the tissues. Regular sessions, or sometimes just a one-off visit, can make movements feel easier: bending down to tie your running shoes or simply reaching for something on a shelf.

A Complementary Approach to Health Care

While massage cannot replace the expertise of physiotherapists or your GP, it serves as an effective complementary therapy that supports long-term health. By encouraging optimal muscle function, reducing tension, and improving mobility, it plays a valuable role in preventive care—helping individuals of all activity levels maintain comfort and physical resilience in their daily lives.

Whether you’re looking to alleviate discomfort, improve flexibility, or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation, massage offers something for everyone.

Supporting Long-Term Well-Being

By addressing muscle tightness and improving circulation, massage also plays a role in preventive care. It can help reduce the risk of long-term issues like chronic pain or mobility restrictions, ensuring you feel comfortable and healthy in your daily routine. I do wish I’d known this when I was younger! The good news is, it’s never too late to feel the benefits. Regular massage is a valuable wellness practice for anyone looking to feel better, move more freely, and reduce stress.
