With the AJ Bell Great Manchester 10k just around the corner, runners are gearing up for one of the most well-known 10k runs in Europe, and the buzz of excitement fills the air in and around Manchester. These days, it seems like someone is running next to you whether it's 7 am or 9 pm. With that in mind, we wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the importance of sports physiotherapy, our expertise, and offer a discount to all those of you who may be running the AJ Bell Great Manchester 10k or any run during 2024!

But let's start with an important question you might be wondering: "Isn't physio just for injuries?" While physiotherapy is indeed excellent for rehabilitation, its benefits extend far beyond injury recovery.

Why Pre-Race Physiotherapy Matters?

Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-timer, preparation is key to a successful and enjoyable race. While training is essential, have you considered the advantage that Sports Physiotherapy can give you in those crucial days leading up to the event?

A crucial element often overlooked by many athletes: Pre-Race Sports Physiotherapy. At Athos Physio, we wanted to highlight the transformative benefits of incorporating physiotherapy into your pre-race routine and offer you an exclusive 20% discount if you are preparing to conquer the 10k AJ Run.

What are the key benefits of Pre-Race Sports Physiotherapy

Injury Prevention

One of the primary objectives of pre-race physiotherapy is injury prevention. Running, especially in high-intensity events like a 10k race, puts immense strain on the body. Physiotherapy helps identify and address potential issues before they escalate into injuries, allowing you to start the race with confidence and reduce the risk of sidelining injuries.

Optimised Performance

Physiotherapy isn't just about fixing existing problems; it's also about optimising performance. Through targeted exercises, stretches, and manual therapy techniques, our physiotherapists can help improve your flexibility, strength, and overall mobility, ensuring you're primed to perform at your best on race day.

Personalised Care

At Athos Physio, we understand that every runner is unique, with specific strengths, weaknesses, and goals. That's why our pre-race physiotherapy sessions are tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're struggling with tight hamstrings, nagging knee pain, or general muscle stiffness, our experienced therapists will create a personalised treatment plan to address your concerns and enhance your performance.

Mental Preparation

Running a race isn't just a physical challenge; it's a mental one too. Pre-race physiotherapy provides an opportunity to mentally prepare for the demands of the race ahead. Our therapists can offer advice on pacing strategies, visualisation techniques, and coping mechanisms to help you stay focused, confident, and resilient throughout the race.

Faster Recovery

Post-race recovery often gets the spotlight, but what about pre-race recovery? Physiotherapy can play a crucial role in priming your body for the demands of the race and facilitating faster recovery post-race. By addressing any existing imbalances or areas of weakness, you'll be better equipped to bounce back quickly and continue pursuing your running goals.

As you lace up your running shoes and prepare to take on the challenge of the Greater Manchester 10k AJ Run, consider the invaluable benefits of pre-race physiotherapy.
