Welcome to the latest edition of Massage Moves, particularly to those
receiving it for the first time.
We promote the benefits that regular massage therapy can bring to the
soft tissues. Massage can relieve pain whilst maintaining,
rehabilitating or augmenting the physical functions of the
body.
We are all told that we should stretch before undertaking vigorous exercise but does scientific research support this. Pre-workout stretching seems to be a logical thing to do as tight muscles/tendons probably have a greater susceptibility to strain during exercise (when compared with relaxed-flexible soft tissues). However if we stretch are we less likely to get injured? The research evidence is contradictory.
Whether you are running, swimming or cycling then correct breathing is an integral component of effective exercise. It’s sound easy to breathe in (inhaling on the way up) and breathe out (exhaling on the way down) unless you suffer from exercise- induced asthma. Symptoms on exercise induced asthma include chest tightness, coughing, fatigue and shortness of breathe. It is estimated that about nine out of ten chronic asthma sufferers may suffer from the effects of exercise-induced asthma.
