Club championship. Pre-season. A congested fixture list with no gaps in it.
Tuesday training.
Weekend match.
Midweek game bolted on because the fixtures backed up.
Saturday/Sunday fixture again.
Somewhere in there, something starts talking to you.
Tight hamstring. Sore groin. Achy knee. Calf that โjust needs a warm-up.โ
But you can still get through a session, so you tell yourselfโฆ
๐๐งโ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ก๐.
Until the turnaround between games gets shorter, and it isnโt.
This time of year thereโs no off-season to hide an injury in. No two-week gap to let something settle on its own. Whatever youโre carrying gets asked to perform again in a few days, whether itโs ready or not.

Dropping it because the fixtures are busy is usually when things start to slip.

If the same hamstring, groin, knee or calf keeps flaring up every time the games come thick and fast, thatโs not bad luck. Thatโs a pattern.
Youโve put too much into this championship / season to be managing the same ni**le every single week.

The early mornings.
The wet runs.
The long Sunday miles.
The sessions you didnโt really fancyโฆ but did anyway.
Then the mileage starts building.
And suddenly that calf is getting tighter.
The Achilles is stiff.
The knee starts aching after your long run.
Or the hamstring just ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ปโ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐.
But you can still run, so you tell yourselfโฆ
๐๐งโ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ก๐.
Until one day it isnโt.
When youโve put this much work into a marathon, the last thing you want is to start cutting runs, missing sessions or wondering whether youโll even make the start line.
Sports massage can be a useful part of your marathon preparation โ but it needs to work ๐ช๐๐ง๐ your training, not against it.
As your mileage increases, what we do, when we do it and how we treat you should change.
And rememberโฆ
