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.
