Running & Massage

Running is demanding.
Your body needs support.

Running is one of the best things you can do for your body — and one of the most demanding. Whether you're training for your first 5K or preparing for a marathon, the repetitive nature of running creates specific patterns of tension, imbalance and injury risk that build up over time.

Every stride places significant load through your calves, hamstrings, hip flexors, IT band and lower back. Over the course of a training block, this accumulates. Muscles tighten, movement patterns shift, and the body starts compensating — which is where most running injuries come from.

Sports massage addresses these imbalances directly. It releases the tension that builds up between sessions, restores proper movement patterns and reduces the risk of overuse injuries that derail training blocks.

How Nick Helps Runners

Targeted support at
every stage of training.

🏁

Pre-Race Preparation

Reduce muscle tension and improve range of movement before a big event. A well-timed pre-race session can make a real difference to how you feel on the start line.

🔄

Post-Race Recovery

Flush out fatigue, reduce soreness and speed up your return to training after a race. Particularly valuable after marathons and half marathons.

🩹

Injury Treatment

IT band syndrome, shin splints, calf strains, hamstring tightness and plantar fasciitis — common running injuries treated properly, not just managed.

📅

Training Block Maintenance

Regular treatment throughout your training keeps your body performing consistently and reduces the chance of the overuse injuries that derail plans.

What Runners Say

Real results from
real runners.

★★★★★
"Having been in tears thinking my Copenhagen Marathon was over with a calf injury four weeks out, Nick was incredibly thorough and knew exactly what he was doing. I was able to make it to the start line and finished in 3 hours 6 minutes. I now look forward to Nick helping me with prevention rather than cure."
Charlie — Marathon Runner
★★★★★
"Nick helped me cross the London Marathon finish line happy and injury-free. He gave tailored massage therapy to support my performance, recovery and overall alignment — and even messaged to wish me luck on race day."
Lucy — Marathon Runner

When to Book

The best time to start
is before you're injured.

The best time to start sports massage is as a regular part of your training — not just when something goes wrong. But if you're already dealing with tightness, pain or a niggle that's affecting your running, the sooner you come in, the faster it gets resolved.

  • 2–4 weeks before a major race for preparation
  • Within 48–72 hours after a race for recovery
  • Every 2–4 weeks during a training block for maintenance
  • As soon as possible if dealing with an acute injury
