Hello Everyone,

New working partners of RG Active have been kind enough to contribute to our Blog. They are here to help you, but please don’t leave it until it too late and you are going to see them because of an injury. Massage is as important as the training you do, and even if you can only squeeze in a massage every now and then, it is always something you should try to fit in.

Trust me, a good massage is worth the money and is as beneficial as any training session you will ever do!!!!

So enjoy reading this blog and then drop the boys and girls an email or a phone call and see what they can do for you. Mention RG Active and take advantage of a special discounted rate. www.londonsportsmassage.com

Recovery is the key word on every athlete’s lips no matter what level you are competing at, if you don’t allow your body to recover you will never gain the full benefits from all the time you put into training hard!

There is not just one single key and there is no magic bullet, It is a combination of a variety of strategies, and one thing that most people don’t think enough about to aid recovery is massage!

We know that Sports and Remedial Massage is vitally important to get the edge that you are looking for.

We would like to continue the theme of over training as we believe we can help you train longer and harder in combination with a good nutrition strategy.  (see the RG Active Nutritionist for more details, CLICK HERE)

Over training id defined as,

“Occurring in athletes who are training for competition or a specific event and train beyond the body’s ability to recover”.

The key word here is RECOVERY!!

So I hear you say…how does sports and remedial massage help me?

Well, through our treatments a variety of physiological changes may occur,

1. Enhanced hyperaemia (superficial and deep circulation)
2. Enhanced  collagen remodelling (increased tissue repair)
3. Decreased pain
4. Reduced muscle cramps and spasms.
5. Enhanced muscle tissue flexibility

These are just some benefits of sports and remedial massage but they all these benefits add up to you training longer and harder with reduced time on the treatment table.

Another thing worth thinking about is the RGA Compress Calf guard!

RGA’s Compress calf guards are designed to improve the circulation of the lower legs which is well known as an area prone to repetitive stress injuries and overuse.

The RGA Compress calf guard is made using a state-of-the-art circular knit high gauge fabric providing one of the best compression based products on the market at incredible value for money.

The RGA Compress calf guard is designed to help and speed up the removal of all waste build up that is produced by the body during strenuous activity that can cause fatigue. The compression provided by the calf guards increases the circulation of your blood towards the heart allowing you to reach new levels in your activity with less fatigue.

The RGA Compress calf guards are designed to target the calf muscle which is a major driver in venous return from the lower body, they are great as a recovery garment or can be used during activity.

The calf guards are great if you find yourself standing for extended periods of time or sat at a desk. If you are a regular traveller for work or for your sport they will help to keep your blood moving and you will arrive at your destination feeling better than ever!

So if you need a little more support through the calf area of your legs they could prove to be your new best friend!
