Almost every runner stretches.
Most running injuries still come back.

If you’re dealing with recurring calf, hamstring, knee or foot pain, stretching might not be the issue. In this blog I explain why many running injuries are really load and movement problems, and how the right treatment helps runners stay consistent.

A lot of people use the terms sports massage and deep tissue massage as if they mean the same thing. They don’t.
This short blog breaks down the real differences, what each approach is actually good for, and when one might be a better choice than the other.
If you train, sit at a desk all day, or deal with recurring aches and ni**les, this will help you understand what your body really needs rather than just guessing.

I’ve just put together a new blog that looks at muscle injury recovery and how healing timelines really work. If you’ve ever wondered why some injuries settle quickly and others seem to drag on, especially with age, training load or repeated strain, this one’s worth a read. It breaks down what actually affects recovery and what helps move things along sensibly.

Reviews like this matter to me because they reflect real outcomes, not promises. Soft tissue work isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about improving how the body loads, recovers and moves over time. Always grateful when clients share their journey.

Running can help clear your head and build fitness, but every distance puts unique stresses on your body. In the post I explain why sprinters often struggle with sudden hamstring, calf or hip issues, while middle‑distance runners gradually develop knee or shin pain, and marathoners are prone to problems like Achilles or plantar fasciitis

You’ll also learn about the common reasons these injuries appear from ramping up pace or mileage too quickly to tight muscles and poor load sharing

If you’ve ever ignored a ni**le or trained through stiffness, this article shows how hands‑on soft tissue therapy can restore muscle elasticity, improve stride mechanics and stop small issues from becoming big setbacks. It’s written for local runners of all levels who want to move well, recover faster and enjoy their miles.
