Sports Massage as part of your training for the 2026 Reading Half Marathon
The running season is under way and maybe you have been busy training for the Reading half marathon?
Hopefully your training is going to plan, slowly increasing your mileage week by week and planning to hit your longest run then tapering down in preparation for the half marathon.
Sports massage is a fantastic way to aid your training; it can help you recover between training sessions by increasing blood flow to the muscles, improving flexibility, increasing range of movement and decreasing muscle stiffness. This all helps to reduce recovery time and prevent injury, meaning that you can train more effectively and therefore improve your performance.
We have a talented team of massage therapists who understand the challenges of training. Book your appointment today to enjoy a therapeutic massage and support your training program.
The benefits massage, and for athletes sports massage, can have on the body are immense. Massaging will stretch and manipulate muscles and this will increase nutrients and blood flow to the area, whilst efficiently removing waste and lactic acid from the muscles. Also, any postural imbalances due to tight or short muscles will be addressed using massage.
Massage is very beneficial to your health, whether it is deep tissue, sports or remedial.
Our massage therapists are Naomi Qualters-Fry and Carla Saxby.
