Have had a few sessions with Mattie now and they have considerably helped me with my upper back pains. Sessions start with a thorough examination to notice obvious problem areas and Mattie is very efficient. He has used a mix of osteopathic and massage techniques to treat my sports related injuries.

Im a ex semi pro football player, also with many miles cycling, hiking, bad posture all leading to complex long term hip, pelvic, positional problems & deep chronic muscle tightness. After many years looking I sourced Mattie as a myofascial release therapist. His osteopathic skills, creativity, phenomenal intuition & natural strength places him at the highest level within his profession. With Mattie I have gone through a full re-conditioning process. He diligently worked through the complexities & muscle memory patterns to fully re-align my spine & pelvic rotation.

In the middle of my month long trip across the UK, with a backpack, and after walking many miles, climbing many towers, and sleeping in a variety of not so great beds, my body was crying for some much needed work. Being an HHP and bodyworker myself, and a former instructor of anatomy at IPSB in San Diego, California, I know what constitutes a knowledgeable and trained therapist. Mattie’s impressive background immediately caught my attention and set him apart from the others I researched. During our session, his attention to my body’s troubled areas and his specificity to each muscle group, indeed to individual muscles...well, words fail me. I’d never been so connected with what a therapist was doing during a bodywork session, and I’ve had many - from experts in the field. A few days after our session, once the soreness had dissipated (yes, it was a serious muscle workout, and there were numerous releases), my body feels better than it did before I began my trip! I am immensely grateful that I found him and feel privileged to have experienced his touch.

Mattie is really knowledgeable and takes the time to ask questions in order to fully understand the problem, which shows he really cares. I had an old injury and he helped me enormously in just 3 sessions. I will definitely go back whenever I have an issue and I highly recommend him to everyone in Edinburgh and beyond.

Mattie is a great therapist, I've been seeing him for over 3 years. Spending most of my working life hunched over a desk has done a number on my back and he does a fantastic job sorting that out with a detailed consultation and very reasonable prices, highly recommended!

Mattie was recommended to me by a friend when my shoulder finally seized up after years of abuse hunched up over a computer keyboard. I was very impressed with the thoroughness and sensitivity of his initial assessment of my problems, and delighted to find that I got huge relief after my very first treatment. I have made steady progress in getting better since then. A big "thank you", Mattie!

This afternoon got a massage from Mattie. Very professional approach and smart technics. Massage lasted 90 min and it was a combination of osteopathy and swedish massage. After the session i was feeling great and rejuvenated. Mattie is very friendly and attentive man. Very nice and clean massage room and shower facility available. Thanks a lot Mattie!

Wow! Mattie not only soothed my pain, but he found the pressure points causing me most discomfort. Thorough, efficient and realaxing; Mattie really is passionate about what he does. I feel inches taller after only a session, and will go back in the future for further work. Thank you Mattie (!)

I have been receiving treatments regularly from Mattie for several years to ensure that my lower back is kept as mobile as possible. He is an expert practitioner as well as being a charming person. His knowledge of the musculoskeletal structure is excellent and he is constantly trying to extend his knowledge. His treatments are tailored specifically for each individual, his style being eclectic. His treatments have kept me supple and much more mobile. He is able to explain why he is doing what he is doing and what that treatment will accomplish. A session with Mattie will leave you realising how well your body can work under his expert care. I can thoroughly recommend Mattie to anyone wishing to seek help for specific muscle or mobility problems, but also just to create a sense of well-being.

Having over many year visited a significant number of physios and osteopaths both in Edinburgh and in London, I felt the unusual need to write a review of the service I received and express how genuinely impressed I am by Mattie and his approach. I had a number of treatments by Mattie and his level of professionalism and depth of knowledge were genuinely exceptional. I’d like to add that I really do take my fitness, body and nutrition very seriously and without hesitation I would recommend Matte. I had a fairly complex neck, shoulder and bicep issue resulting from a combination of skiing and gym related injuries and am happy to report that real significant progress was made, and quickly. Thank you Matte, a very happy client, Ian.

As long as I can remember I've had particularly tight hamstrings and have been in varying degrees of pain in my shoulders and upper back from scoliosis developed during my early teens. After several sessions of chiropractic treatment and not really feeling a tremendous difference, I have been going to see Mattie for regular treatments for my back, hips and hamstrings. The deep tissue work and myofascial release has greatly reduced the tension around my scapula and back in my rhomboids, trapezius and lats which has greatly improved my posture and straightened my back. Aside from the odd twinge every now and then I'm more or less pain free, all thanks to Mattie's great skill and attention to detail in providing his treatments. I feel very relaxed in Mattie's company and would highly recommend his treatments. Thanks Mattie!

Have been to Mattie twice now with aching shoulders and pain in upper back.been having trouble for a while but really feeling the difference.even sleeping better.he treats you professionally with a pleasant manner.the treatment room is very clean and Mattie is immaculate.will definitely return and would recommend his services

I've used Mattie's services many times over the last few years and I couldn't recommend him more! I'm a photographer and retoucher which means spending a lot of time in front of a computer not always maintaining a correct seating position obviously... Therefore I get pains especially in my neck and shoulders and Mattie is a magician relieving the pain even in a short session! The best guy for the job! Thank you!

I had mid back and shoulder pain for several months and from the 1st session with Mattie it has improved. He is friendly, knowledgeable and takes the time to discuss your symptoms and solutions in terms of therapy and techniques. I would highly recommend his services.

I have been seeing mattie for over 1year and I have been having treatments for over 10 years. I have very bad sciatica problems and Mattie is the best I have seen in the 10 years. He has passion to help you and not just wanting your cash.

I was in a lot of pain last week and went to Mattie and he made such a difference. If you are needing professional massage and have any conditions, please see this guy first. There are a lot of con artists out there just for money. This guy is not one of them. Thanks for all your help with my condition it really means a lot. Jason

I had some pain in my back and hadn't tried therapy or anything before was sceptical but after meeting Mattie and being provided with first class service, I felt totally safe and at ease, he is so knowledgeable and informative and the service I received was second to none! Very impressed and highly recommend him to anyone in need. Thanks so very much for such a great experience and help!

I developed mid-upper back pain and stiffness due to sitting at a work desk with poor postural set-up. For the last few years I been receiving monthly maintenance sessions with Mattie and I always leave the session feeling remarkably better. Mattie has also expertly aided swifter recoveries from my occasional mountain biking and skiing injuries.

Mattie has an excellent range of techniques, knowledge and passion for his profession that is rare. Highly recommended!

Very glad I found this place - what a fantastic session with Mattie earlier. I’ve had tightness in my back for too long now and struggled to find a therapist who is knowledgeable, convenient and good with their hands. Already feeling much looser and less knotted and it’s so reassuring that Mattie not only treats the areas but also explains how and why I ache the way I do. Equally, however, he’s happy just to let you listen to music and drfit off whilst he works. Five star and I’m looking forward to my next appointment. Highly recommend!!

Having suffered with several degrees of lower back pain over the last few years and hip problems I was on a work trip to Edinburg when one of my colleges suggested I went to see mattie .

Over the last few years I've been all over the world and have had treatment for my back but never found a lot of difference in my condition until I went to see mattie today .

After my treatment I walked straighter ,without any pain or discomfort . I really feel like a different person . Amazing ......thank you Mattie .

If you're a performer at the Edinburgh Fringe and need a sports massage or any kind of body therapy, Mattie is the man! I'm artistic director of 201 Dance Company and he's been treating all my dancers up here! We genuinely don't know what we would do without you, thanks Mattie!

I would like to write to inform people from Edinburgh and beyond about the treatment Mattie provides. I have been looking for someone with his skills for over 13 years since I had my sporting injury. I have tried every treatment you can get. I attended Mattie practise over 7 months ago and received the best treatment so far. I have tried many many treatment centres but by far this is the best. Mattie has a passion to help and fix problems for his clients. He works so hard and study also to enhance your treatment. If you have injury or just need a great massage try Mattie first and you won't go anywhere else. Thank you Mattie.

I have been receiving treatments to maintain my balance and support my body through a busy year. It's easy to neglect yourself when you are a therapist. Mattie is friendly,professional and very knowledgeable about Shiatsu. He knew after only one session where my body needed balance most and I feel safe in his care. I look forward to having Mattie as part of my ongoing personal health maintenance plan.

Thank you Mattie for a great, healing session! My shoulder and hip were bothering me and you really helped out. You took great time and care in locating the problem and helping with a solution. The massage was deep and thorough.

Mattie's place is warm and welcoming. I felt very comfortable the moment I arrived!

THANK YOU again Mattie!

I first came to Mattie with decades of untreated tension accumulated in my body. It had finally got so bad that i was painfully aware of my inability to relax and just could not ignore the issue anymore. Also i had started practising martial arts, and felt i had to start caring for my body, rather than just punishing it on a regular basis. Luckily someone recommended Mattie to me. Due to his skill, dedication and hard work I eventually emerged with what honestly felt like a brand new body! Now my maintenance sessions with Mattie are part of my lifestyle and i would never dream of skipping one. Thank you Mattie!

After having months of discomfort in my neck, shoulders and back, I finally decided to see Mattie and to be honest, wasn't expecting too much but one session and I feel different, I have stopped stooping and I'm coming back for more of whatever it might be thats recharged me ! I will write more after a few more sessions.

I had back and neck pain due to a long flight to Barcelona, but Mattie was amazing! He really is a true professional who knows and understands ones body and what it takes to hill someone. After one session I felt great, relaxed, and pain free. I will definitely schedule again. Thank you Mattie!

I can't recommend Mattie highly enough. I have had a lot of massage over the years...so I know that Mattie offers something special... he tailors his massage to your needs...( really massage doesn't describe what he does). I was in quite an emotional state when I first went to him...he gave me a massage which was both gentle and deep...manipulating my muscle and fascia and finishing with more traditional massage strokes. He combined his knowledge of massage and shiatsu and fascia work to offer me something unique. I left his consulting room feeling relaxed and more settled in myself.

Mattie has been fantastic in sorting out my hips and hamstrings problems. I was amazed at how much better I felt after just one treatment. Mattie has an incredible understanding of the human anatomy and helpfully explains the reasons behind each of his techniques. He is also a very nice and warm individual and I would highly recommend his treatments.

I feel so lucky to have been referred by my osteopath for a session with Mattie, and have been seeing him when the need arises for 18 months. He is a skilled, intuitive, and compassionate bodyworker, simultaneously enthusiastic and gentle, strong and healing, and has an impressive mix of trainings and experiences from which to draw to provide a truly holistic session. He is a thoroughly lovely practitioner, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I first consulted Mattie about acute back and hip pain. I was in agony after a lifetime of disability which recently culminated in two hip replacements. He quickly diagnosed my pain as being emotional as well as physical. The first two treatments greatly alleviated my hip pains. He suggested I try Shiatsu. I didn't know anything about it but was so impressed by Mattie's skill and dignified approach that I gave it a try. The results were quite astonishing. I gather that Shiatsu strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. And, boy, does it do what it says on the tin. I had my third session this afternoon and felt a gigantic shift and release of past burdens which have been haunting me lately, especially since the loss of my beloved dog. Hand on heart, I cannot recommend Mattie Leszczak highly enough. In fact, I will be eternally grateful to the two women who, quite separately, suggested I would benefit greatly from seeing him.

Normally with my passion for fitness and my non stop working lifestyle, always on my feet and being efficient is key. Unfortunately due to a unforeseen injury in football, I broke my fibula and damaged my right knee joint. This severely hindered my mobility and work, making me become very worried about my future in my work and fitness. This made me very worried for the first time, until I met Mattie! With his priceless knowledge, incredible knowledge on anatomy, physiological and fascia, within a 4 week period of my leg break I have gained back my full range of motion and able to run again with no pain, and performing demanding exercises like the injury never happened. I owe a lot of my recovery to Body Manual Therapy and they have gained a long term friend due to their services. I would recommend anyone who I encounter to their skills, knowing that they will all be in safe hands in a speedy recovery or general maintenance in their wellness.

I received treatment from Mattie yesterday for chronic shoulder and neck pain. I was immediately comfortable in presence and he made me feel very much at ease. He explained very clearly what he felt the problems were and he treated me with care and sensitivity. I felt extremely safe in his hands and noticed an immediate reduction in my pain. I would recommend Mattie's work.

As a longterm sufferer of occupation induced back pain, I stumbled across Matt's advert by chance and was lucky enough to get a very last minute appointment for this evening. I was immediately struck by his warm, friendly nature which quickly put me at ease, and within seconds of observing me standing he was able to diagnose a postural problem and explain in depth how this was related to my pain. His impressive knowledge as well as passion for what he does gave me complete confidence that I was in safe hands. An hour and a half later the tension in my muscles was noticeably lessened, albeit with further work needing to be done, and I am very much looking forward to my next session in a weeks time. Thank you Matt! 🙂

Yet again Maciek has amazed me with his skill and ability to heal. After recent surgery, Maciek managed to reduce swelling and bruising with his techniques.<br /> It was a very profound experience and I'm hoping the next session will see further improvements. I cannot recommend him enough.

I have now had three sessions with Mattie and even after the first one I felt amazing results! I have had problems with my feet for as long as I can remember and Mattie showed me how this was ruining my posture. I feel great after my first three sessions and will be back for more because I have never been so relaxed than after an hour with Mattie. Thanks again Mattie, I cannot recommend you enough!

Having fractured my spine a few years ago, I have had almost constant back pain since. I've been going to Maciek for a couple of years and am always amazed at how great i feel after treatment. It's like walking on air! Regular treatment have the best effect, but even occasional treatments help. Cannot recommend him enough.

I have been Seeing maciek for over a year and he is magic! His skills are tremendous and he has made a huge diFference to my back and knees. He is very Knowledgeable and "listens" to my body mAking every session With him really enjoyable as well as highly benefiCial.

have been going to mattie for a year now following two hip replacements. He had helped tremendously to restore my mobility and flexibility. he is extremely kind and courteous and respectful. He has also worked wonders on my lower back and shoulders.

Had my first session with Mattie and have to say I was more than impressed with the whole experience including the knowledge and expertise he clearly has. I left feeing the immediate difference with my back and have already booked another session to continue the improvements.

I had my first treatment from Mattie today, and was very impressed with his knowledge and skill. The work he did on my spine and associated muscles was terrific. I have already booked my first follow-up session to capitalise on all the good work he has done today! And I am sure I will return regularly.

Matt has helped me a lot with regaining my good posture and also through sessions of massage with my back, arms, shoulders, legs etc.... I highly reccommend anyone requiring a good therapist to ease muscular ahes and pains/strains to go to Matt. He has a very friendly open manner which puts you very much at ease. Matt also gave me advice on how to help myself further through the use of yoga.....( Go on people ! "Don't be shy give Matt a try"! )

I came to Mattie after having a horse riding accident which left me with a sore back and leg and as aresult difficulty walking. Mattie focused in on my back and spent a good proportion of our initial session in this area. As a result he managed to release a trapped ligament which was causing the pain in my leg and difficulty walking. Almost immediately the sharp pain disipated, and I had freedom to walk properly again. There did however remain some pain due to inflamation. He also worked out a lot of the taughtness that had built up in my back as well as the fluid building up in my lower back. The sum total is that within one session I was significantly improved. Mattie has great customer relations as a natural, as he follows up on his sessions through texting to ensure that his clients are ok after his sessions. We have had a few sessions since and Mattie has also given me a workout schedule to build on outwith his work. He provides a full service. Not only is his crafting excellent but also too his warm personality which greets you and relaxes you, not to mention his undoubted concern and interest in his clients. Over the years I have attended Chiropractors, and Accupuncturists, and although they have been very good in their own field they have never provided the full servie that Mattie offers. It is veery much appreciated.

Matt your a wizard! The massage was out of this world, my back has never been better!! I had never heard of a segment massage before but it worked incredibly well! I could feel my body realising unwanted tension and my hips, back and shoulders being realigned. My posture has improved and I even feel taller. Thank you, I will be coming back again soon!

I had my first massage with Matt the other day. His work space is very calming, and he is a charming attentive host. The massage itself was great. I have had many massages of varying quality over the years, but in truth I felt Matt was certainly one of the best. He is strong, but he uses that strength in broad deep gestures, which means he can really release the tensions. He also has, in my opinion a very caring energy about him. I felt at ease, and looked after for my one hour. I wouldn't hestitate to recommend him.

Matt; my neck and shoulders coped well with the drive back to Inverness today, plus I definitely do not feel as sore as I would do normally after such a long drive. Perhaps before my next treatment we could spend a few minutes talking about how I can make sure I'm getting the best out of you. Thanks again Matt. Happy New Year

As a first time to massage, i really enjoyed my time with Matt. he was polite and gentle talking over with me the areas i would like covered. The massage was amazing and really worked all areas that needed it. Thanks Matt, will definetly be booking again.

hi there folks i was up in inverness for a few days and went for a massage as i had a sore back, wasnt sure if it would have helped. but my god it was the best i have ever had. i could feel the heat of his hands working all over my body. i felt so relaxed i have had another 4 visits from then. i felt so at ease, so if you ever feel like having a massage give it a try

I can thoroughly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a great massage. He is very professional, considerate and excellent at what he does. As someone who suffers with lower back problems I came away feeling energised and much improved. He uses a type of massage on the spine that originates on the continent that I have never tried before, and I have to say when I am next in Inverness I want to try it again

I have had several massages now from Matt. He is such a pleasant guy to have dealings with, always polite and informative. His massages have certainly helped my back but more than that, they make me feel relaxed yet rejuvenated afterwards. I can recommend his services without hesitation

I was suffering lower spine pain & was also having very severe pain on my left side - bum. leg and down to my calf, a visit from Mattie was very good indeed, as after one visit my back, bum and leg the pain had virtually disappeared - amazing !

Matt very kindly adjusted his routine to visit at short notice whilst in the area. I could run out of superlatives. He is a polite and well mannered man, who I felt comfortable with. He made a diagnosis as to what therapies he would employ for me using a holistic approach.

He is very thorough, unhurried and reasonable. Excellent.

I have been coming to Matt for the last several months. The first time I went I was a bit nervous as I had never had a massage before and wasn't sure what to expect, but Matt put me at ease from the moment I arrived. He offers a very professional service and takes time to establish your needs. He is truly gifted and seems to have an in-sight as to what is right for you. I always feel so much better afterwards - totally de-stressed and I always seem to have lots more energy. I would recommend him.

Hi Mattie

I just wanted to leave a message to say how much I enjoyed my first massage yesterday! You certainly know how to put people at ease. I left your consulting room and felt as if I was floating on a cloud. I look forward to your healing hands working their magic next time I am in Inverness. You were right about the sleep too. I had at least nine hours before my alarm went off and brought me back to reality, less my aches and pains!

Heartfelt thanks for all your help.

I've now had a few massages from Mattie and what can I say??? The best I have had so far. I feel wonderful after he has worked his magic. My stress levels are always so greatly reduced after a session and my muscles so pain free.

I always look forward to a genuinlly super massagalistic relaxing time from Matt

Mr Mattie; my spine thanks you very much- it is strong, healthy and in good condition. Thanks to your therapy and your energetic hands unbearable pain is gone. I can walk, raise my arm and move head normally once again. I'm very happy person now. I'm recommending Mr Mattie and his magic hands, which stimulated me to live, and for YOU Mr Mattie I wish health and strenght. Satisfied client.

Matt was very easy to liaise with to organise the massage, and when he arrived ( on time ) I could see he was very professional. The massage was great, very relaxing, re-energising, and got rid of all the little niggling aches! I am happy to repeat the experience.
