Don’t for get to make massage a part of your training programme……

Regular sports massage after running or any sporting activity where you are pushing your body to the limits can have a number of great benefits both physically and psychologically. It will:

• Increase blood and lymph flow, moving toxins out of the body
• Encourage fresh oxygenated blood to the muscles, to aid repair and recovery
• Promote the release of endorphins reducing muscle pain
• Help you sleep by relaxing your nervous system
• Feel nice. It’s a great reward after all the dedication and hard work needed to achieve the goal of running a marathon.

Good luck!

Lovely light leg massage for the well deserving runners….
