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.
