London Marathon runners needing sports massage have been flooding through the doors of our Mayfair and Highbury clinics this month! It’s really exciting to share the buzz of those preparing for such an incredible feat.

It’s in this next few weeks of marathon training that sports injuries often happen. We’ve noticed that once an 18 miler has been run, often the hard training athlete will try to go *that* bit faster, feel a ‘twang’ and then carry on through the pain. DON’T! If you feel pain, aside from the merciless agony of lactic acid and bursting lungs that is, STOP! and apply the R.I.C.E. principles;

REST
ICE
COMPRESSION
ELEVATION

We’ve treated too many marathon runners for sports injuries such as torn muscles in the weeks running immediately up to the marathon, it’s a classic scenario – so please take heed and avoid giving us all your cash for constant treatments!
