Here is a great offer by our friends next door at assauge massage if you havnt got a massage from them before. I keep on top of my mobility but every time i see them they find a area that needs work straight away. Get on top of issues before they become injuries, massage is a great tool for this.
“I had no idea I was that sore/tight...!!”
(Why and when is massage an important addition to your
self-care)
The most frequent cause of injuries we (massage therapists) see
in clients is;
A substantial, recent change in exercise type, frequency, or
volume.
Some examples include:
·
Taking up a new sport.
·
Increased distance in the build up to a
marathon.
·
Increased intensity in the build up to the
Crossfit Open.
·
Increased volume as part of a new training
program.
All of the above points are good things to do, but need to
be done gradually to minimise the risk of injury.
There are plenty of self-care and mobility techniques you
can use to manage muscle tension yourself. So much so that Kelly Starrett has
been able to write two good books on the topic.
…BUT …many of your potential injury areas are tight well
before you are aware of it and you can sustain an injury in an area where you
have felt no pain prior to the event.
The number one most common thing we here from clients is;
“I had no idea I was that sore/tight...!!”
Everyone has different level of body awareness, but even
some of the most ‘body aware’ people I’ve treated have been unaware of
significant problems areas.
If these areas are not found and addressed early enough then
they can significantly increase the risk of injury.
