Prepare your body for the Stockholm Marathon with sports massage

Before a marathon, your body needs to be in top shape to handle the physical strain. Sports massage is a key component of your preparation plan. Here's why:

  1. Increases blood circulation: Sports massage improves blood flow to the muscles, helping to transport oxygen and nutrients needed to optimize muscle performance and endurance.
  2. Improves mobility: By releasing muscle tension and increasing flexibility, you can move more freely and efficiently, reducing the risk of injury during the race.
  3. Reduces muscle tension and stiffness: Regular pre-race massages help keep muscles relaxed and prevent the build-up of tension that can limit your performance.
  4. Mental focus: A good massage can also contribute to mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, helping you to stay focused on your race.

Recover from the Stockholm Marathon with a sports massage

After a marathon, your body needs to recover in order to heal and strengthen. Sports massage plays a crucial role here too:

  1. Reduces muscle soreness and stiffness: After a race, it is common to experience DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Massage helps break down lactic acid and other waste products that build up during exercise.
  2. Faster recovery: Massage increases blood flow, which speeds up recovery by supplying oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues and helping to eliminate waste products.
  3. Preventing injuries: Regular massage allows you to identify and treat minor problems before they develop into serious injuries, helping you to stay fit for future training sessions and competitions.
  4. Promotes relaxation and well-being: After an intense race, both body and mind need rest. A relaxing massage helps reduce stress and promotes a sense of well-being.
