injuries, run technique, nutrition, mind focus and general run training
advice.

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.

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.
Deep
Tissue Massage is a
technique that
focuses on the deeper layers of
muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in
the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the
contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the
muscles, tendons and fascia. Also helps to break up and eliminate scar
tissue.
Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may
cause some soreness during or right after the massage, but if it's done
right the client should feel better than ever within a day or two. Deep
Tissue Massage is often used in combination with other massage
procedures such as those used in Remedial and Sports Massage.
On-site
massage is an effective
way of offering the benefits of massage
in the workplace and other public areas. A growing number of businesses
are now providing this facility to their employees as part of an
overall employee health and benefits programme. Studies show that
reducing stress in the workplace translates to a reduction in sick
leave, an increase in morale and a more productive workforce.
An
On-site massage can be both relaxing and invigorating, helping to
relieve stress and muscle tension and to renew energy levels. It is a
short (15 to 30 minutes) massage with the client sitting in a special
portable massage chair. The client remains fully clothed and no oils
are used.
Treatment
is based on a traditional Chinese Acupressure sequence, which
incorporates gentle movements and pressure, applied to areas of the
head, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands. On-site massage has the
same beneficial effects as other massage, these include:
With
today's high pressure living and working environment more and more
people are suffering from stress-related illnesses, including back
problems, repetitive strain injuries and other postural and physical
problems caused by sitting at workstations for long periods of time.
Receiving massage, especially in the workplace, helps create awareness
in the recipient of their posture and their body in general making them
more receptive to healthy attitudes and ideas.
