Is injury stopping your marathon training?
Training for a marathon is no easy task, especially if
injury rears its ugly head.
Knowing what
to do to get to back on schedule is often difficult. With the right advice, you can hopefully
reduce injury time, any long term problems developing and possibly end up a
little bit stronger.
Most commonly injuries occur through training errors such as
running too fast too soon or too long too early. With the usual areas being the
foot, ankle and knee. Inflammation of various tissues around these joints is
most often the cause of the pain. Hot
spots are often a combination of minor faults in running technique, poor
footwear, muscular imbalances or previous injuries.
Osteopaths are trained in diagnosis and enjoy finding what
the problems are and the reasons why you are affected. Through assessment of
your muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints and of course your story we can
treat you. We will work out a plan with you to get you back running as soon as
possible.
Osteopaths use a combination of therapies in conjunction with Osteo
techniques, including therapeutic taping (Kinesio Tape), needling,
cranio-sacral therapy and exercise prescription.
Don’t let injury stop you achieving your goal, there are
many ways to maintain fitness and build strength even if you can’t physically
get the miles in. Body conditioning and
muscular endurance training can keep you in great condition and will help you
get healthy quickly and improve your recovery time post marathon.
