Sporting Events
If you are training for a particular sporting event, we strongly recommend that you incorporate sports massage sessions into your training regime and can offer discounted rates for block sessions. Be ahead of your competition and look after your body before and after training. Don’t just listen to us though, the champion cyclist, Bradley Wiggins explained in this fantastic BBC Radio interview:
I love the mundane part of the sport. I love the romance of doing the training, which is the bit that no-one sees. That might be a 5am gym session or an 8am session in the velodrome before anyone else comes in.
I’ve liked the feeling of being slightly ahead of the game and that goes back to being a kid. When I was 17, I rode from London to Rye on the south coast on Christmas Day where the family were staying at Pontins.
They drove and I rode the 86 miles. Nan was cooking Christmas dinner. I remember thinking the World Junior Championships were the following August and none of my competitors would be doing this on Christmas day. I loved the idea of it. That’s my motivation.”
So if, like Bradley, you want to stand out from your competitors, give M.C. Physio a call!
