Frequently Asked Questions
What are your prices?
Our massage treatments, including Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Swedish Massage, are priced at £45 for 30 minutes or £70 for 60 minutes.
Our physiotherapy sessions are priced at £55 for 30 minutes, £70 for 45 minutes, and £85 for 60 minutes.
If you are unsure which treatment or duration is most suitable for your condition, our team will be happy to advise you based on your individual needs and goals.
What should I wear in the session?
The type of clothing you should wear depends on the parts of your body that need to be worked on, but we encourage all patients to wear (or bring) appropriate attire. Lightweight, loose-fitting, flexible clothing is excellent, and it’s strongly advised that you bring some shorts with you for unrestricted movement/assessment. Ladies, you must have underwear on. Men, boxer shorts are not recommended, so you must have brief-style underwear. Some men prefer to be naked, and that is totally fine. You will be covered with towels in the session anyway. You are welcome to change at your appointment and ladies will have a private space to do so. We need you to be at ease and comfortable during the course of your therapy.
Do I need a doctor’s permission to be treated in the session?
Most of the time, you can receive care from us without a doctor’s referral. To ensure that you are healthy enough to receive treatment, you will always have a brief consultation at the beginning. In the unlikely event that you are not, you can postpone your appointment after having received your doctor’s permission.
I am a regular gym goer. What message do you recommend?
Sports massage! Without a question! The word “Sports” says it all. This massage is designed for athletes. You do not have to be a professional athlete to get Sports Massage. If you train hard in the gym, at least three times a day, Sports massage is recommended. The stronger pressure in Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles more than Deep tissue massage. Waste products such as lactic acid are released during high-intensity workouts. Sports Massage helps in the removal of lactic acid and thus reduces pain in the body. All of this promotes recovery and minimizes the likelihood of muscular injury.
Will I feel sore after the treatment?
After your massage, you could feel sore, but don’t worry; this is entirely natural. Some treatments can be quite intense and experiencing mild effects like this afterwards is not unusual. Once your session is over, you will always be informed of how to manage this in the aftercare phase.
Shall I book Sports Massage or Physiotherapy?
You do not need to be a sports person to benefit from Sports Massage. Sports Massage is a hands-on treatment that can help with muscle tension, general aches and pains, and many acute or recent injuries. It focuses on relieving tight muscles, improving mobility, and reducing discomfort through manual therapy techniques.
Physiotherapy is often more suitable for long-term or recurring pain, complex injuries, or conditions that require a detailed assessment, movement analysis, and a personalised rehabilitation programme. It combines hands-on treatment with targeted exercises to improve strength, mobility, and long-term recovery.
If you are unsure which treatment is right for you, our therapists will be happy to guide you and recommend the most suitable option based on your symptoms and goals.
What qualifications do you have?
At Releef, we are a team of four highly trained therapists with a diverse range of qualifications and expertise. Our team includes Level 3 and Level 4 Sports Massage Therapists, qualified Sports Therapists, and Physiotherapists with degree-level training. This combination of skills allows us to provide a comprehensive approach to pain relief, injury rehabilitation, movement improvement, and long-term recovery.
What type of massage do you recommend for the first-timer?
The three main types of massage I offer are Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Sports Massage. In simple terms, Swedish massage is a relaxing massage with soft pressure. Deep tissue massage has a stronger pressure. Sports massage has the strongest pressure, but it also has trigger points and assisted stretching included. If you never had a massage before, it is recommended to try the Swedish Massage. It has the lowest pressure, which anybody would be able to take and no matter what pressure you have, the benefits of blood circulation are still going to be there.
What's the best way to get to your studio? Is there free parking?
If you are driving. Please type “Swedish Sports Massage” on Google Maps. Make sure the location you are reaching has the postcode LS4 2PD. However, do not type the postcode on Google map! Please type Swedish Sports Massage. Once you are at the location, please park your car in a big free car park in front of the Leeds English Language School. Please wait for me at (Blue Door) at the entrance of the Leeds English Language school. Again, car parking is free!!
If you are taking a bus. Bus number 50 and 49 bus stop is right next to the car parking area. The name of the stop is …
Can I use the gym after the massage?
You are to refrain from doing any strenuous exercises after the massage session for at least 24 hours. Your muscles will be softer and looser following the massage and you will be more likely to injure yourself, so it’s best to allow your body time to recover and settle from the massage

However, after talking through what problems I was having, Hitanshu tailored the massage to my needs and the next morning I woke up pain free for the first time in 4 months.
I would really recommend Hitanshu to any of my friends and family.
Thank you so much - I will definitely be returning!
Although the session was painful, but he puts your mind at easy and talk throughout the session.
After one session I am very happy to stay he had reduced my plain by at least 50 percent after just the first session. I have no hesitation in recommending him to friends or family , he is very skilled at his profession and very knowledgeable.
of sports therapy and massage. My massage was very relaxing, but also
focused on all the sore bits I requested, and got out all the knots.
Would definitely recommend!
He was professional attentive and explained what and why he was doing at each stage, the environment was great to relaxing music and lighting with a lemongrass infuser.
I would recommend, felt like a holistic approach rather than just a massage really tied to identify the issues I was having.
Will be back soon!
