    Yeah, on second thoughts 'more than none' was never going to be that hard.

    So what youre saying is that for 2 weeks you were in pain, you hopped on this couch, she did whatever she did and your calf was absolutely fine? No pain whatsoever, all back to normal?

     

    Ooh! that's exactly what happened to me, but with my achilles. image It was a bit like magic.

  • I'm truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with a deep tissue massage, especially leading up to an important event like the Marathon of the North. It's unfortunate that it resulted in injury, and I can understand your frustration.

    It's not uncommon for people to have mixed experiences with massages, as the effectiveness of the therapy can depend on various factors, including the skills of the therapist and the specific techniques used. It's essential to find a qualified and experienced therapist who understands your needs and preferences.

    Regarding the timing of a massage before a marathon, it can vary from person to person. Some athletes prefer a deep tissue or sports massage a few days before the race to loosen muscles and address any tension. Others might opt for a lighter massage closer to the event to promote relaxation. The ideal timing can also depend on your training schedule and how your body responds to massages.

    For those looking for a sports or remedial massage from a reputable provider, consider exploring the services offered at Broadwater Osteopathic Clinic. They have a team of skilled therapists who specialise in sports injury rehabilitation and can tailor their treatments to your specific needs. You can learn more about their services here: Sports Injury Rehabilitation at Broadwater Osteopathic Clinic.

    When scheduling a massage before future marathons, it's advisable to communicate your preferences and any concerns with the therapist. This will help ensure that the massage is tailored to your requirements and enhances your physical readiness without causing any discomfort or injury.

    While it's unfortunate that your previous experience was negative, I hope that with the right therapist and approach, you can enjoy the benefits of massage and support your athletic endeavours more effectively in the future.
