Running places repetitive strain on muscles, tendons, and joints, frequently leading to overuse injuries, discomfort, and mobility restrictions. This massage supports your body in coping with these demands, promoting quicker recovery, injury prevention, and enhanced performance.

Runners often develop tightness in the calves and thighs, imbalance in the glute muscles, or poor foot mechanics that can affect their gait, leading to further strain or injury. The Runner Specific Massage works deeply to release tension, improve circulation, and restore balance, helping to keep you moving smoothly and efficiently.

What the Treatment Involves

1. Targeted Massage of Feet, Calves, Shins, Thighs, and Glutes: Focused techniques relieve muscle knots, ease stiffness, and encourage healthy blood flow to speed up recovery
2. Assessment and Correction of Gait Issues: The therapist evaluates muscle imbalances and tension patterns that may contribute to inefficient running mechanics and discomfort
3. Stretches and Mobility Exercises: Specific stretches are applied during the session to lengthen tight muscles, improve flexibility, and restore proper alignment
4. Relief from Shin Splints: Careful work around the shins reduces inflammation and muscle tightness, a common complaint among runners that can otherwise sideline training
5. Advice on post-run care and injury prevention tailored to your unique needs
