 Congratulations to all our patients that have been having treatment in the last few weeks in the build up to the London Marathon. From Sports Massage, Podiatry, pedicures, reflexology, nutrition and Osteopathy. Here at Bodyworks were were able to provide the people of Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards cross and the surrounding areas of South Bucks with the most optimal care that is required to be fully/or fighting fit for the great challenges that marathon training and running the marathon can throw up.
There were a few last minute sessions to loosen up tight spots and Kinesio Tape vulnerable areas to great effect.
Now this week, it's all about post event aftercare, with gentle stretching massaging, ultrasound, kinesio-taping, Osteopathic adjustments and foot care. If your going to put the body through it- you must get the proper support and care throughout, otherwise the chances of developing problems and damaging joints and tendons are high. |

Kinesio Taping helps John Bishop complete sports relief Triathlon
Most people have seen the news this week following the great feat that John Bishop completed in the aid of the charity Sports Relief.
I was following his twitter progress and regular updates on talk sport, and was surprised of his chirpy upbeat manner considering the task he was undertaking. That said he is a scouser!
I was not surprised that he was having to gain assistance to aid his muscle damage and performance with the use of Kinesio Taping. It has radical effects in aiding tight, weak, fatigued and poor functioning muscles and joints, and is now used at elite level nd will be seen at the olympics this year.
Click the link below for more information on the amazing feat that John completed for Sports Relief.

I'm sure my patients see the resemblance to the tape that I use in my treatments, although pink seems to be a favourite equally with men and women! |

  I Completed an advanced Kinesio Taping course today, as seen on the likes of David Beckham and Ian Thorpe and elite athletes all around the world. It is fantastic for lymphatic drainage, haematoma (bruising), acute trauma, tendonitis, bursitis, supporting muscles and improving flexibility, re-educating the muscles, joints and fascia and is great at enhancing performance. The Tape can be left on for 4-5 days and unlike traditional tape there is minimal discomfort upon removal.For people with acute sprains and muscle strains it can dramatically reduce swelling and accelerate tissue healing within hours.You can achieve the same response with 5 minutes of tape application that you can with 30 minutes of soft tissue massage and lymphatic drainage.
Kinesio/K tape is re-writing the rules of rehabilitation and performance enhancing, and it is available in Chalfont St Peter and Gerrards Cross at Bodyworks Clinic.
