Massage & Marathons!

If you were one of the 35,000 amazing runners in yesterday's London Marathon or a spectator inspired by their achievements, On The Bench's Sports Massage treatments offer something for you!

Perhaps you were just a spectator of the Marathon but have been inspired to train for an event in the future. Whether you have set your sights on completing your first 5k (such as Race For Life) or are aiming for something bigger like the 10-mile Great South Run, On The Bench can help you achieve your goal!

Massage is an invaluable tool in your training plan as it helps relieve fatigue and tension in muscles that are perhaps new to the exertion of your particular chosen activity. Regular massage keeps tension at bay which may otherwise build up and ultimately lead to injury.

If you are returning to exercise after injury, massage may help to speed up the healing process, break down scar tissue and restore function.

And the feel-good factor induced by massage is a great reward and should help you stay motivated throughout your challenge!

Perhaps you would like to reward a loved one during their training or after the event? At On The Bench we have Gift Vouchers for all our massage treatments available to purchase through our online shop.

If you have been inspired to take up a fitness challenge for the first time and have no idea where to start, we also offer Personal Training and Sports Conditioning to help you achieve your goal safely and successfully. Trainer Neil Dayus also offers Functional Rehabilitation and Corrective Exercise if you are struggling to get back to fitness after an injury.

Combining regular Sports Massage with the right kind of exercise and training is, in our opinion, the recipe for success so call us now on 02393 233140 for an appointment or further information.
