Meet Ruth

Ruth McNulty is a soft tissue expert, anatomy nerd and founder of Movement Matters, offering bespoke massage therapy based in North Leeds.

 

As a professional Dancer, Yogini and Personal Trainer, sports and movement have always been a huge part of my life and I have a deep understanding of the body. Anatomy is my great passion and I use massage to facilitate healing but also as a preventative practice to maintain and develop balance and peak form.

While studying as a dancer, my body struggled with many of the physical demands, which led me to regular soft tissue massage. This had a profound effect on my body’s ability to cope and I know first hand how it can make a huge difference to your overall movement, whether you are looking to heal an injury, reduce pain or optimize your performance.

I believe that everything is achievable with time and care and I put generous servings of both into myself, my clients and people who want to feel better collaborating and nurturing a relationship between you and your body.

How I work

I work with the body and nervous system to release areas of tension and identify the issues that cause them. With experience in a range of soft tissue therapies, I use my expertise to identify, treat and manage issues.

Identify

Working upwards from the feet to the top of the head, we'll complete an expert assessment of the whole individual and identify the muscles to work on that can give long term relief. 

Back Massage

Treat

Qualified in soft tissue therapies that include sports massage, remedial massage and pregnancy massage, our practitioners treat pain caused by postural issues, sports injuries or habits that have resulted in discomfort.

Shoulder Stretch

Manage

In addition to the assessment and massage treatment, we also provide exercises that can help resolve problems, and aid strengthening to help prevent the re-occurrence of problems in future.
