What does a leg massage include?
What does a leg massage include? A full leg massage works from the feet and calves up through the thighs to the hips, easing tired, heavy legs and the tight muscles that pull on the back.
A leg massage from feet to hips
A leg massage includes every part of the leg, not just the sore spot. James starts at the soles of the feet and works up through the calves and Achilles, the shins, the hamstrings and quads, the inner and outer thigh, and finally the glutes and hips.

- Calves and shins
- Hamstrings, quads and the inner and outer thigh
- Glutes and the deep hip muscles
Relaxing or deep
A leg massage can be relaxing, deep or a mix of both, and you choose the pressure. Many people like slow, flowing strokes for tired legs after a long day on their feet, and firmer work on the calves or hamstrings that feel tight.
Why legs feel lighter afterwards
Tired legs often feel heavy because the muscles and Fascia have tightened. Working the whole leg helps circulation and lets the muscles soften, which is why people describe their legs as light and fresh on the walk home.
Legs and the back
Tight calves and hamstrings often pull on the lower back. Many people who book a leg massage for heavy legs notice their back feels easier too.
Reviews
What clients say
I went from hardly being able to walk to playing football again within about 2 months.
It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.
