Sports massage in Leipzig – firm and targeted
Our sports massage in Leipzig city centre is for anyone who likes firm pressure, or whose muscles feel tight after training or long days at a desk.
We are open for you every day! Monday – Friday 9:00 – 21:00 · Saturday – Sunday 9:00 – 19:00
What makes a sports massage
Kneading, stretching and targeted pressure rather than gentle stroking – often on the neck, shoulders and between the shoulder blades, or on the legs. You choose gentle, medium or strong when booking, note in the notes where it feels tight, and can ask for more or less at any time.
Who it suits
You train regularly, sit a lot, or simply like firm pressure.
If you mainly want to switch off gently, choose a wellness massage.
Sports or deep tissue? Both are firm. Deep tissue works very intensely on a set area; with sports massage you choose the areas more freely. Not sure? Book a sports massage.
Deep tissue massage – firm and intense
A very intense massage for the back, with a lot of pressure – for anyone who finds a normal massage too gentle. The strokes go deep; your therapist checks that the pressure is right. After recent surgery or an injury to your back or neck, please check with your doctor first.
Is it suitable for a first visit?
Only if you are sure you like firm pressure; otherwise Swedish massage is the better start.
Swedish massage – the classic
Kneading, stroking and friction on your back or the whole body, from gentle to strong – you can change the pressure at any time. Sunburn or irritated skin? Mention it in the notes or reschedule.
Is Swedish massage the same as classic massage?
Yes, both names mean the same massage.

FAQ
Does a sports massage hurt?
It should be firm, but never beyond your limit. You set the pressure, when booking and at any time during the massage.
Do I need to do sport to book it?
No. It is just as good if you simply like firm pressure.
Which duration makes sense?
It depends on how many areas you want massaged: back, neck and shoulders need less time than several areas.
Is it available at the hotel?
Yes, at the Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Handelshof, even if you are not staying there.
Can two people book together?
Yes, from 60 minutes. In our studio you lie side by side in the double room, and each person chooses their own massage.
