What is back massage?
A back massage concentrates on the area where most people carry their tension: the whole back, the neck and the tops of the shoulders. It is the standard short treatment in the directory, usually thirty minutes, and the one to book when you have a specific ache, a limited lunch hour or a limited budget.
The technique depends on the therapist and on what you ask for: Swedish strokes for a relaxing session, deep tissue and trigger point work for knots between the shoulder blades, or firmer work on the lower back after a long drive. Many therapists will add a few minutes on the scalp or the arms if time allows.
It is offered by nearly every listing on the site and is the most common mobile and office treatment. If you find yourself booking it every couple of weeks for the same problem, a longer remedial or sports session that looks at the hips, chest and posture as well is usually the better answer.

Where to find it in Leeds
Most work from their own treatment rooms rather than from studios, so incall is the norm and mobile appointments are offered by a minority, mostly to the hotels around the station and Wellington Place. The city centre covers the financial district and the gym trade, with sports and deep tissue the most requested treatments. Headingley and Chapel Allerton are residential, quieter and daytime-oriented, with a high proportion of therapists holding reflexology and holistic qualifications alongside massage.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a back massage?
Thirty minutes is standard and enough to cover the whole back, neck and shoulders properly. Forty-five minutes allows deeper work on problem areas.
Will a back massage help lower back pain?
For muscular tightness and stiffness, yes, often noticeably. For pain that radiates into the leg, comes with numbness, or follows an injury, see a doctor or physiotherapist first and mention it to the therapist.
How much does a back massage cost?
Typically £25 to £45 for thirty minutes outside London and £35 to £60 in the capital.
