It’s that time of year when races are coming fast and furiously for many, and for others, they are in peak training blocks as major races approach. It’s the busiest time of the season for me to help those aches and pains, promote recovery and patch people up to get them to the start and finish lines. Lots of short term pain relief treatments to support the bigger rocks like sleep, nutrition and recovery. I’m very lucky to be supported by RockTape who allow me to offer the latest modalities to my athletes. Here this ultra runner is using the Rock Pods Vibe post 100 mile race. It also presents a great opportunity mid treatment to discuss the race, and our plans moving forward. Many of these modalities get a bad rep, and rightly so when used without reasoning and explanation of what they do and don’t do, But when used diligently, alongside appropriate education and big picture management, they can be fantastic ways to support an athlete.
