Manchester 10K & Half Marathon is THIS WEEKEND 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼

Now comes the part most runners neglect: recovery.

The race might only last a few hours, but the impact on the body can hang around for days afterwards.

Heavy legs, tight calves, stiff hips and DOMS are all pretty common after longer efforts — especially if you’ve pushed hard on race day.

A recovery sports massage can help:
• reduce muscular tension
• improve movement post-race
• aid circulation and recovery
• help the body settle down after the demands of training + racing

Most runners focus all their attention on getting to the start line… but proper recovery is what helps you get back training well afterwards. 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

Recovery should never be considered a luxury, your health is an investment that should be taken seriously.

Sports massage is just one option to improve your recovery speeds, it’s time to be proactive and not reactive 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

🏃🏼🏃🏼‍♀️Are you smashing Manchester Marathon this Sunday!?

Your legs caning 26.1 miles of tarmac are going to leave you feeling pretty damn tender, no doubt you’ll have a few days struggling to walk and nobody talks about the poor sleep which hits you as your body is over tired and over stimulated.

A recovery sports massage can be an absolute game changer to help you feel back to your usual self, physically and mentally.

5 SIGNS YOU NEED A SPORTS MASSAGE THIS CHRISTMAS 🎅🏻 🎄

1. Headaches - As the year comes to a close, stress levels are extremely high which can result in serious tension in the neck and shoulders which can lead to intense headaches ⚡️

2. Sedentary Lifestyle/Career - We are unfortunately in a time where we are very inactive for 8+ hours during the day time, especially if you work in an office environment. Inactivity builds weakness which ultimately develops into tightness 💺

3. Waking up stiff/sore in the morning - Aging isn’t an excuse for waking up stiff and sore. Relieving tension can be a game changer when it comes to sleep quality and feeling fresh the next day 😴

4. Having an intense training plan - Training in an intense manner is great for the functionality of the body but ultimately being overactive can encourage tightness, leading to a lack of movement and increasing injury risk 🏃🏼

5. You currently are injured - Injuries are extremely frustrating to experienced athletes the best of times but during the winter it’s even worse, dark nights and cold mornings can ruin your momentum for rehabilitation work, massage can help you to recover quicker and get your mojo back 🩼

If you tick any of these boxes, maybe it’s time to bite the bullet and treat yourself to a sports massage 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️
