17 October 2011 Congratulations to all the runners in yesterdays Cardiff
half marathon!
8 October 2011 Mark has just finished a series of running workshops in
Run and Become in Cardiff in the run up to the Cardiff half marathon.
Mark was joined by Personal Trainer John Bruno and Physiotherapist
Karen Pearce to provide advice to the half marathon runners on running
injuries, run technique, nutrition, mind focus and general run training
advice.
22 August 2011 Mark represented Great Britain yesterday at the European
Long Distance Triathlon Champs in Finland. Mark raced well and came
11th in his age group, an excellent result!
4 July 2011 Delme provided sports massage at the Youth & GB
triathlon champs at Porthcawl on Sunday. He was a busy man, with the
young guns taking advantage of the pre & post event sports massage.
28 March 2011 Mark raced the Pembrokeshire duathlon yesterday and
managed to crack the top 10 with a great 9th place! Well done!
11 February
2011 Yesterday Mark attended a running coaching clinic to train
existing running coaches new skills and techniques inline with the
Newton running company's philosophy of Natural Running. It was the
first clinic of this type to be held outside of the USA. Mark was lucky
enough to pass and is now only 1 of 12 Newton Natural Running Form
coaches in the UK. Mark will now add those new skills & techniques
to south Wales and incorporate them into our own hugely successful
Learn To Run workshops.
Vale
Sports Therapy are a young dynamic sports therapy company based in the
Vale of Glamorgan, with sports massage clinics in Penarth and
Cowbridge, covering Cardiff, Penarth, Barry, Cowbridge and Bridgend. We
are dedicated to fitness, health and wellness and specialise in sports
massage, sports therapy and fitness training.
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.
New
services for 2010 involve more fitness orientated training, including
our popular Learn To Run workshops, triathlon/running training, Nordic
Walking and health & nutrition advice.
