Massage Therapy Edinburgh Mattie Leszczak – edinburgh

I reached out to Mattie with serious back pain at the end of last year. I was unable to move freely and had to take time off my work as I was simply unable to sit down for any length of time. I am very active, and I was unable to routinely exercise as the pain was unbearable. On my initial session I was amazed as to how quickly Mattie pinpointed the issue through a specific question set, followed up by a review of my body. Before the session I was unaware that I was not completely perfect and surprised to hear that I have a slight twist in my form due to some underlying issues. To my surprise I was almost completely painless after my first session to the point I was able to get back to fully exercising a few days later. Mattie gave me some small hints and tips on how to counteract my issues to build up some weaker muscles which will improve my form overall. My second session was just as productive as the first. We were able to work deeper into the core issue which wasn’t an option initially due to the fact I was I so much pain. Previously I have not ever felt the need to visit anyone from this profession however I have a different view. I now see that this is an important and productive way to spend your time and money. I will now be booking in with Mattie for a regular check-up to ensure I am taking care of my body. Mattie is extremely professional and knows exactly what he is talking about. I am so happy to have found him and will now be a regular customer.

Having suffered for a long time from lower back pain, I decided to reach out to Mattie. For roughly 9 years I had very bad back pain which cause me to become seriously uncomfortable when doing various activities. The one question I was always asked by everyone specialist I saw was “how did you do it?” And to that I don’t have the answer but Mattie looked past that and didn’t dwell on the fact I don’t know how this happened and instead went about to try and rectify the issue. Mattie took a more holistic approach to the issue instead of telling me to do stretching which seemed to be the common advice. Through this holistic approach, Mattie took the time to paint the picture of what was going on with my lower back and the wider area. For me, this helped me understand my structure better and really get a grasp on what was happening, it turns out the issue I thought I had and many others kept telling me I had was not the issue and instead the root of the discomfort was taking place at another point in my back. By treating the issue holistically, we finally had a breakthrough after all these years.. Through this is was able to make very small lifestyle changes and after 6 sessions with Mattie I do not have nearly the same amount of discomfort and pain. Highly recommend Mattie, through clear communication, and his knowledge/experience I have been a lot more comfortable in my day to day life for the first time in years. Thank you.

Mattie is a professional by all means. After only 5 visits my back is in much better condition, walking is not as sore. He is a great guy we always have a lot of laughs and I feel very relaxed in his company and hands 😊 I highly recommend Matties practice to anyone.

I visited Mattie without having any serious condition, just occasional lower back pains. His approach was very human and individual. He explained everything inside-out. First having a detailed interview about type of work, lifestyle and everyday behaviour. Nobody before him explained to me how all the muscles are connected and how to take care of them. I’m aware now what to do and what to watch out when doing everyday things. I highly recommended his services, price is not high and it’s not an issue, because it’s your health. 5 🌟

I came to Mattie two months after my accident when I twisted my ankle badly (even lost consciousness for few seconds). I didn't get any physiotherapy but asked to take painkillers. It helped a bit for few weeks, but then pain increased and I started to feel a cold food as well. Mattie evaluated it very thoroughly and after a set of treatments plus gradual exercises I have to do at home - the pain is gone and my foot feels stronger.

I couldn’t get out of bed due to sharp pain in my back. Mattie - did a very thorough investigation and assessment, explained me how body works and which of my habits contributed to this spinal injury and pains and aches - I was having before. After the set of treatments plus exercises Mattie gave me gradually to do at home - I am now like a new man and I know how to manage my back on daily basis. Also tingling in my fingers almost totally disappeared. He also gave me some good advices of how to change my diet and nutrition - to support my overall health. Mattie uses many different techniques in his work. Amazing Osteopath - truly recommending!

Best practice ever. I finally got to understand things about my body that no-one explained before.

Truely a miracle worker!!. Been having therapy for a month now for lower back issues related to child birth, a pulled hamstring and in the weeks ahead treatment for a very painful shoulder. Just after 2 sessions the pressure has disappeared from my lower back and have just completed 2 sessions on my leg. Mattie is a very professional and competent.

Mattie was fantastic. He went out of his way, working after-hours to accomodate me into his schedule. Thank you Mattie!

Having suffered back problems off and on for many years . I have at last found Mattie he really does know how to treat back problems properly and to have a lasting effect . The pain has gone and the exercise programme has had an amazing effect on my general movement . Here was me thinking it was old age but he has given me a lot more confidence with his comprehensive treatments and exercises. Highly recommended to anyone suffering back problems.
