Marathon & Event Preparation Packages

Helping you train consistently, recover well and arrive at the start line feeling your best.

Whether you're preparing for your first half marathon, a marathon, an ultra or another endurance event, your body is under increasing training load. Regular sports massage and soft tissue therapy can help manage muscle tightness, support recovery and keep you moving throughout your training.

As a marathon runner myself, I understand the physical and mental demands of training. I know what it's like to fit long runs around work, manage niggles and hope your body holds together on race day.

That's why I created these packages—to support runners throughout their training, not just when something goes wrong.

FAQs

When should I book my first sports massage?

Most You don't need to wait until something hurts. Starting treatment during your training gives us an opportunity to understand how your body is responding as your mileage increases and tailor future appointments around your training and event.

Should I have a massage the day before my marathon?

Treatment close to race day should always be appropriate to your training and race goals. We'll discuss the best timing together.

Can I still have treatment if I already have a niggle?
