What massage is best for legs?
What massage is best for legs depends on how your legs feel: sports massage for training, deep tissue for long held tightness and relaxing massage for tired, heavy legs.
Sports massage for active legs
The best massage for legs that train is usually sports massage. It changes pressure area by area and focuses on the calves, hamstrings, quads and hips, which take most of the load when you run, cycle or play sport.
Deep tissue for long held tightness
Deep tissue massage suits legs with one area that has been tight for months, such as a calf that never quite lets go. The pressure is slower and sinks deeper, giving the muscle and Fascia time to soften.
Relaxing massage for tired legs
Relaxing leg massage suits legs that feel heavy after long days standing, travelling or walking. Long, flowing strokes help the legs feel lighter and calmer.
How James chooses
In practice most sessions blend all three. James asks how your legs feel and what you want from the session, then adjusts as he goes.
- Tired and heavy: slower, flowing work
- Tight after training: firm, targeted work
- One stubborn area: slow, deep pressure
- All of the above: a mix, agreed with you
Reviews
What massage is best for legs reviews
I have suffered with constant overuse injuries for two years before I hired James. Since I started working with James, and getting regular treatment from him, I have stayed injury free for over 3 years.
I went from hardly being able to walk to playing football again within about 2 months.
