Sports Massage for Marathon Runners in Chelmsford, Essex


Chelmsford Physio, located at Riverside in Chelmsford, specialises in sports massage for marathon runners. Our expert team delivers effective treatments, including deep tissue massage after marathons, to aid recovery and enhance performance. Whether prepping for the race or recovering afterwards, we're here to help.

Pre-Marathon Massage Prep


Getting ready for a marathon involves more than just training. We understand the importance of preparing your body for the challenges ahead. At Chelmsford Physio, we offer a specialised sports massage to marathon runners. This treatment is designed to reduce muscle tension, increase circulation, and enhance flexibility. Our therapists use techniques tailored to your needs to ensure optimal performance. A pre-marathon massage session can help you address potential injuries and ensure your muscles are in top condition before race day. This way, you can run with confidence, knowing your body is ready for the challenge ahead.


Here are some common challenges marathon runners face and how sports massage can provide effective relief and support:

1) Muscle Tightness

Marathon runners often experience muscle tightness due to the repetitive strain they experience during training and running. Sports massage helps alleviate muscle tightness by targeting problem areas and promoting flexibility. Regular sessions can also improve the range of motion, reducing the risk of injury during long runs.



2) Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)

DOMS can be a common issue for marathon runners, particularly after intense training sessions. Sports massage can help alleviate the discomfort associated with DOMS by enhancing blood flow to the affected areas. This speeds up the recovery process, allowing you to maintain your training schedule with minimal disruption. 



3) Overuse Injuries

Repetitive motions and overtraining can lead to overuse injuries, such as shin splints or a runner's knee. Sports massage helps identify and address areas of strain before they develop into more serious issues. Our therapists can tailor treatments to target specific concerns, keeping you running strong.



4) Circulation Problems

Efficient blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. Poor circulation can lead to fatigue and longer recovery times. Sports massage improves circulation by stimulating blood flow, ensuring your muscles are well-nourished and primed for endurance running.



5) Scar Tissue Build-Up

Efficient blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. Poor circulation can lead to fatigue and longer recovery times. Sports massage improves circulation by stimulating blood flow, ensuring your muscles are well-nourished and primed for endurance running.

Deep Tissue Massage After Marathon


After crossing the finish line, recovery becomes crucial. Chelmsford Physio provides deep tissue massage for marathon runners to aid in post-race recovery. Our deep tissue massage after a marathon targets sore muscles, alleviating pain and speeding up recovery. It helps break down scar tissue, reduces inflammation, and restores mobility. By improving blood circulation, it aids the body in flushing out toxins and lactic acid build-up. A post-marathon massage session can help you feel better sooner and prevent long-term injury. Our expert therapists customise each session based on your unique needs, ensuring you recover faster and get back on track.
