The 2024 Perth Running Festival is just around the corner on 6 October 2024. It offers a beautiful and exhilarating run through Burswood Park, finishing at the world-renowned Optus Stadium.
Whether you’re tackling the 4KM, 10KM, Half Marathon, or Full Marathon, ensuring your body is in tip-top shape for the challenge is key to a great race day experience.
Here are some ways that visiting Complete Care Health for physio, chiropractic, massage therapy, or taping before and after the event may help you perform your best and recover faster.
Maximise Your Performance With Pre-Race Care
Preparing your muscles and joints before the big day is crucial. Chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy may help correct any misalignments or muscular imbalances, ensuring your body is in peak condition. Massage therapy can also release tension in areas like the hip rotators, improving your running form and reducing your risk of injury.
Recover Faster Post-Race
After completing your chosen distance, your muscles will need some TLC. Post-race massage therapy helps speed up muscle recovery by improving blood flow and reducing muscle soreness. If you’re feeling tightness or discomfort, chiropractic and physiotherapy can help address any post-race misalignments or injuries, helping you bounce back quicker.
For those areas that need continued support, we also offer post-race taping to aid in the recovery process, keeping joints stabilized and assisting in reducing inflammation.
Boost Your Pre-Race Prep
Remember also to prioritise warm-ups, proper sleep, hydration, and nutrition, which are all essential to your race prep. And don’t forget that professional care can make a massive difference. From loosening up tight muscles to helping with injury prevention, scheduling a session before race day may give you the edge you need to feel strong and confident when you step up to the start line.
Get Race-Ready & Set Yourself Up for a Smooth Recovery
Book your pre-race physio, chiro, or massage session now, and schedule your post-race care to help your body recover and keep you feeling great after you cross the finish line.
