Empowering you to lead a pain-free, healthy, happy existence
Welcome to Movement Matters, a massage therapy centre based in north Leeds, led by massage therapist Ruth McNulty. Our mission is to help you lead a pain-free, healthy, and happy existence by providing a range of massage therapies and treatments in a caring and safe environment.
Our Story
Movement Matters was founded by Ruth McNulty, a fully qualified massage therapist with a passion for anatomy and a deep understanding of the body. Ruth started Movement Matters with a simple goal: to share her knowledge and support others with their training or physical goals, whether it be in sport or comfort in life. With a range of qualifications, including a Level 5 Sports and Remedial Massage, Diploma in Deep Tissue Massage, and Diploma in Lymphatic Drainage, Ruth is dedicated to empowering her clients to take control of their health and wellbeing.
Our Services
At Movement Matters, we offer a range of massage therapies designed to ease pain and release tension, as well as identify the root cause of any issue. Our services include Sports and Remedial Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Myofascial Release, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Each treatment starts with a postural assessment and analysis, so we can understand and uncover any underlying issues. We'll ask you questions about what you need - it might be pain, inflexibility, or just needing to destress - and then we'll work on a solution. We may offer you some exercises or recommendations to add into your workout or routine, as well as encouraging and supporting you to geek out on anatomy and how the body works!
Our Philosophy
We believe that life should be enjoyable and pain-free, no matter your age! We're obsessed with how the body works and want to help you lead a pain-free life. Our approach is holistic, and we work with your body and nervous system to release areas of tension and identify the issues that cause them. We also provide exercises that can help resolve problems, and aid strengthening to help prevent the reoccurrence of problems.
Our Commitment
At Movement Matters, we're committed to providing a safe and caring environment for our clients. We're dedicated to empowering you to take control of your health and wellbeing, and we're passionate about sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm for massage therapy. We believe that everything is achievable with time and care, and we put generous servings of both into ourselves, our clients, and people who want to feel better.
