Not long now until the busiest 10k, half marathon and full marathon running season starts to get under way in Leeds and so it’s important for you keen runners to remember that long periods of time running often leads to a shortening of the muscles that flex the hip, which in turn can lead to back pain as well as a less efficient running stride, so try this move, it stretches hip flexors and hamstrings at the same time. If you want to include this type of therapeutic exercise as part of your sports massage as well as some exercise with the Icaros plank device, just select a 45 or 60 minute sports massage and select the add on, so you can take advantage of this when you next have your sports massage in leeds city centre. 

Some of the benefits you gain by booking a session in the Corelounge at Jim Mason sports massage and using the Icaros Pro device, is that it activates the muscles of the core area twice as much as a standard kneeling plank does (I’m happy to email you a pdf document if you’d like to read this research paper).....

Vibration therapy has been around quite a long time, in the form of either some simple plug in hand held devices or the vibrating platforms that you can stand or sit on such as the power plate machines...... 

More people than ever are incorporating strength training into their fitness routine. A balanced exercise routine of cardiovascular exercise, strength training and flexibility work will always keep you in a better state. Weight training and strength training in particular can actually be very therapeutic for your muscles because of the increased blood flow to specific muscles which many of you will know of when you experience the ‘pump’.
