Sports massage in Clifton, Bristol

Where runners hold tension

Running repeats the same movement thousands of times a session. The calves and Achilles, hamstrings, outer thigh and IT band, hip flexors and soles of the feet take most of the load.

Planning massage around training

Book deeper work after a long run or at least two or three days before a race or hard session. In race week a lighter session suits most runners.

Beyond the legs

Stride and arm swing depend on the trunk, so rotation through the ribs and shoulders is checked too. Stiffness there often adds load to one leg.

Running in Bristol

The Downs, Ashton Court, the harbourside and the climb up to Clifton all feature in Bristol runs, and hills add load to the calves and hips.

Reviews

Massage for runners reviews

★★★★★
I have suffered with constant overuse injuries for two years before I hired James. Since I started working with James, and getting regular treatment from him, I have stayed injury free for over 3 years.

It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.
