Mark and Delme would like to send good luck messages to all of their clients who are running the London Marathon this weekend. We know you'll all do great and look forward to hearing all about it on your return.

12 March 2009
Last weekend Mark did the Llanelli half marathon, unfortunately the weather was absolutely atrocious! 25mph winds and lots and lots of rain! Mark managed to get round in 1hr31'38, that's 2 minutes quicker than last year on the same course. This proved to be a great training run for Mark, in preparation for his Ironman race in Austria in the first week of July 2009.
 




Vale Sports Therapy are a young dynamic sports therapy company based in the Vale of Glamorgan. We are dedicated to fitness, health and wellness and specialise in sports massage, sports therapy and exercise therapy.

Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.
 
Sports therapy takes sports massage one step further, and utilises other tools to help deal with injured athletes through to dealing with many common muscular complaints such as back pain, mobility problems, postural problems and work related conditions. We can then provide advice on the prevention of injuries and can examine, assess and treat those that do occur, as well as helping with the rehabilitation process.

Exercise Therapy involves the active use of movement-based techniques and tools to treat injury or movement impairment, with the objective of restoring optimal physical structure and function.

New services to be provided soon are fitness training, including running training, Nordic Walking and health and nutrition advice.
