Most of the modern-day population are living with some kind of muscular dysfunction. Years of performing the same actions such as sitting at a desk, driving, standing and using smartphones has had a massive impact on the level of dysfunction in our bodies.  This happens because our bodies are held in the incorrect posture. For example, you might drop one hip when you stand, drive with one arm high up the steering wheel, or sit with your wallet in your back pocket. Or maybe you hang your neck forward to stare down at your phone. Sound familiar?

As a runner, you know the familiar sting of post-workout fatigue, tight muscles and exercise-induced injury. These are common issues that all runners face, all of which can be alleviated with the help of a professional sports massage.

There’s a popular misconception that sports massage is only for the top-tier athletes of the sporting world, and that amateur exercisers can’t benefit from professional massage services. Although originally designed for sportspeople, sports massage has been found to have great benefits for individuals of all skill level and can alleviate a wide variety of tensions, injuries and postural issues!

You enjoy running: crisp mornings alone with your thoughts, plenty of stamina for everything you want to do, a fit, energetic feeling, that runner's high… 

If you're a runner, then you want to be able to keep running, and you'd probably like to improve your performance. Gait analysis can help you stay as active as you want to be and give you the knowledge you need to improve your form and blow past your limitations.

2018 is just getting started, and of course it’s the time of year when many of us are making changes in our habits that we hope will bring us enhanced performance, more energy and better health. Whether you’re starting a new fitness routine, taking up an active hobby, varying your mix of activities, or intensifying your training, biomechanics testing can help.

On January 19th, we’ve got a reflexologist starting with us at Adjust Massage. Her name’s Helen and she’ll be in the clinic on Mondays and Fridays.
