Celebrating a Big Win and Spreading Positivity! ๐๐
Weโre so proud to share this message from one of our amazing patients at our Bedminster clinicโfresh off completing his very first half marathon!
Back in December, it was suggested by my chiropractor to try a massage for my back and neck at Willow Massage. I had never received a massage before, but I could really feel the benefits after a few sessions with Hannah. As a keen runner, I asked if she could provide a sports massage for my legs, as I had been struggling with mobility after running middle distances in recent years. After one session on the legs, I felt more comfortable running, as it relieved so many years of tension and tightness. It contributed to me consistently breaking PBs at my weekly 5km park runs.
That confidence encouraged me to enter the Bristol Half Marathon, my first half marathon and the longest distance I would have run in one go. Leading up to the event, Hannah kept up to date with my training progress and gave me advice. As final preparation, Hannah gave me a leg sports massage and adjustment three days before the race. This made a massive difference to my performance. It was a hot day and the conditions were difficult, but I managed to complete my first half marathon in 1 hour and 58 minutes. My goal was to finish under two hours, and thanks to the sports massages and adjustments I received at Willow, I was able to achieve that and will hopefully achieve more goals with their help.
I can't recommend Hannah and the services at Willow enough.
