Massage - using pain to relieve pain

[huw williams]

Just a quick heads up to any of you racer/long distance riders suffering late season leg tiredness.

Erstwhile ACC member Hannah Reynolds, our fitness and coaching expert on Cycling Weekly is now doing house calls offering her massaging services. She's got lots of qualifications and experience with pro teams as well as a smart new table which she'll bring to your house and sort you out.

You might think your legs are fine and don't need it but after a session you'll realise how much your muscles are in need of attention after a few months hard summer riding. I had one last night and felt like I'd gone ten rounds toe-to-toe with a grizzly bear this morning but I know from experience that the long term effects will be highly beneficial.

Costs are £30 for an hour or £15 for half hour. If more than one rider wants a session at the same time/location costs come down pro rata.

She's also willing to come to the club house and do a demo/talk on the benefits of sports massage if enough members show an interest so post a reply here if you are and we'll get her along soon.
