Sports & Remedial Massage
If you have just started training for next years London Marathon, then a
regular Sports Massage should be high on your list of priorities. The benefits
listed above are all pertinent. You are going to be putting your body through a
massive training load and a regular massage will help you recover quicker. I ran
my first marathon last year and found massage to be an essential part of my
training.

Not JUST for the sporty ! ! !
Sports massage therapy is not just for sports people. The stresses that we
put on our bodies everyday by simply sitting for long periods at desks, carrying
heavy bags and generally living in a modern world can all add up.
The most common problems that we see in the city are back and neck pain. A
high percentage of these problems can be treated quickly and effectively with
massage therapy.
Many of these issues are caused by poor posture. A small postural issue can
increase the tension within muscles in the back and neck. This increase in
tension will not only cause pain but can limit movement and affect your ability
to concentrate. The most common causes for this tension are; Your workstation
not being correctly set up for you, incorrect lifting of heavy objects, carrying
a heavy bag on one shoulder and working in stressful environments. Massage can
release this tension from the muscle and return you to ‘normal’.
It may be necessary to get advice about exercises and stretches that can be
done at home to correct the underlying issue to the problem. We can also arrange
to visit your workstation to make sure that it is ergonomically correct for you.

Exercising SAFELY after your Xmas break !
We all like to enjoy ourselves over the Xmas & New Year holidays. Then
January comes along and we decide to start our great resolutions.
If this includes starting your exercise regimes again, please, BE AWARE!
It is normal to think we can start our exercise routines at exactly the same
point/level we finished on.
STOP & THINK !
If you have had a break from your normal exercise routine, YOUR MUSCLES ARE NOT
USED TO IT ANYMORE so BE CAREFUL!
My top 10 tips on how to stay injury free are:
- THINK BEFORE YOU START
- TAKE IT EASY
- START SLOWLY & DON’T RUSH/PUSH YOURSELF
- WARM UP FOR LONGER
- LIFT LIGHTER WEIGHTS FOR YOUR FIRST FEW SESSIONS
- GRADULALLY INCREASE WEIGHTS OVER THE NEXT FEW SESSIONS
- START ON A SLOWER/LOWER GRADE ON ANY/ALL MACHINES
- GRADUALLY INCREASE YOUR TIME/LEVEL SPENT ON MACHINES
- WARM DOWN & STREACH FOR MUCH LONGER THAN YOU NORMALLY WOULD HAVE AFTER YOU
HAVE FINISHED
- IF IT HURTS – STOP !
DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE AN INJURY - BOOK A MASSAGE TREATMENT TO HELP YOUR
RECOVERY!
