Who are Circle 8 Massage?

We are a leading Sports massage & Deep tissue massage practice located in the heart of Leeds city centre on the infamous Call Lane. It was opened in 2014 by Ant Varenne with the aim of in 3 years to be one of the “leading massage practices” in Leeds and we are very happy to be able to say we have achieved that. We were a Top Rated massage Practice on Treatwell in 2017 & 2018 and were also named one of the best places to get a massage on LEEDS LIST.

​

In addition to this for the Leeds 2019 ITU series Triathlon we were in charge of massaging the TEAMUSA Elite. A fantastic experience and we are lucky enough to say one of our athletes came 2nd and another came 4th.

Circle 8 massage combine Personal Training, Corrective Exercise and Advanced massage qualifications together meaning we have a very in depth understanding of the human body. Here at Circle8 we can treat you differently to other sports massage practitioners because we really understand how the body moves and works.

Therefore when you come for a massage at Circle8 we don’t just treat your issue and send you away, we find out exactly which movements and muscles are causing it, explain to you what’s actually happening, give you exercises in the gym and at home that you can do to help alleviate and eventually get rid of your issue. We will even explain to you the best way to sleep, how many pillows to use and even how to place pillows to support your body correctly as you sleep.

Circle 8 Massage offer a variety of treatments, we have your more traditional treatments such as Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Massage which apply a “positive pressure” to your muscle tissue.

These treatments involve a range of hands-on techniques and positional release techniques to help relieve your muscles of aches, pains and injuries which could be caused by anything from training to hard in the gym to being hunched over a desk all day (see our Blog Why Office Workers Should Have a Massage).

We also have our more “out there” treatments which is Cupping Therapy and Hypervolt Therapy. Cupping therapy provides a “negative pressure” to your muscle tissue which is great if an area is to painful to apply actual pressure or you have a low pain threshold. See our Blog What are the Benefits of Cupping where you can find out everything you need to know about this treatment.



Hypervolt Therapy is the newest form of treatment within the massage world. It is basically a hand held percussion device used to stimulate and warm up muscle tissue. These expensive little devices are great for pre/post workout and great prior to a deeper massage to warm everything up.

In addition to the above treatments we also provide the finest after-care possible, we won’t go in to too much detail but book a massage and you will find out first hand!



Circle 8 Massage also has a little coup de grâce because all of our therapists are accredited with the Federation of Holistic Therapists meaning if you have a private health insurance policy or health insurance with work, you could be able to claim back the full cost of the massage treatment.
