JUST RUN A MARATHON? Congratulations!! Your body has achieved something incredible!🥇
Now it’s time to recover. Reward your body. Recovery is just as important at the race itself.
Benefits of a Post Massage:-
* Improves circulation speeding up recovery
* Reduces DOMs - muscle soreness, stiffness and spasms
* Flushes out toxins & metabolic waste
* Reduces inflammation & swelling, decreasing joint pain
* Promotes relaxation, giving better sleep after such intense exercise
* Supports injury prevention by restoring muscle flexibility and range of motion
When should you have the massage?
1-3 days post marathon - a light, superficial massage is required so as not to further damage the tissue.
4-7 days post marathon - a deeper tissue massage can be beneficial providing your DOMs has gone.
