The Extra 1%ers That Could Improve Your Running

Reading Time: < 1 minute

To get the best out of yourself when it comes to running, it’s important to do the 1%ers. The small things that you may take for granted can play an integral part in improving your running and achieving your goals.

In this series of blogs we will look at some of the different 1%ers our running clients can focus on to get the best out of themselves. In this first blog we will look at the importance of self-massage as part of your training regime.

It is important to add recovery to your training schedule, so although incorporating regular Myotherapy/Remedial Massage treatments is an important part of the recovery process, it is what you do between those treatments that is the first 1%er we will look at. Below are some pearls of wisdom on self-massage…

You will need three basic tools:

  • A foam roller
  • A lacrosse ball
  • A yoga mat

In this video I take you through a basic self-massage routine that you can incorporate into your daily training schedule:

Mehar was fabulous! Not only was she warm, welcoming and funny, but professional and thorough.
From the moment I walked in I felt well supported. She was able to identify what was going on, factoring in older ailments, and provide me with a treatment plan and options.
Her focus was on sustainable changes and support moving forward, and I had a written plan and clear explanations and clarifications on everything. I never felt like she was encouraging me to need to come back unnecessarily.
It took a few visits, and each time was met with the same warmth and professionalism. I got consistent progress and feel so much better now, even though it's a few months on from when I last saw her.
It's very clear she is wonderful at what she does, thinks about the whole person and I would definitely recommend her to others considering needing podiatry support.

The whole client therapist experience has been amazing. My Myotherapist provided me with a detailed plan to ensure my progress to meet my goals as well as addressing my issues of pain.

Each follow up session is reviewed, discussed and any changes added/deleted or modified.

The timely reminders and follow up from the clinic and experience with the Client Experience Officers have been always polite and friendly.

Mehar Sandhu has been an absolute delight. She is very professional in her treatment and most personable and friendly to deal with.

I've been coming here exclusively since my first consultation. I've had constant shoulder and arm pain from my line of work; the exercises my physio, Carina provided are easy to remember, not time consuming and super effective!

Bonus: the space feels super clean and calming - highly recommend coming here

I had a great experience here. The gym was well equipped and the atmosphere of the clinic was amazing. I had Carina, who was very knowledgeable about my injury and helped construct a great solution plan! Her manner was beautiful and she had great energy. Definitely recommend!

I’ve been seeing Talia for a few weeks now for treatment on my shoulder bursitis. From day 1 she was great! She explained everything about my condition to me and what she wanted to do which helped me visualise my own recovery. Could not recommend her enough.
