💥 Why HYROX & CrossFit Athletes Should Get Sports Massage & Manual Therapy Treatments💥

HYROX and CrossFit push your body to the limit — combining endurance, power, and strength under fatigue.
That’s why recovery isn’t a luxury… It’s a performance tool.

Here’s how sports massage and manual therapy help 👇

✅ Faster Recovery – Reduces muscle soreness and speeds up the repair of micro-tears caused by intense training.

✅ Improved Mobility & Range – Frees up tight fascia and muscle restrictions so you can move more efficiently in lifts, runs, and transitions.

✅ Better Muscle Activation – Restores balance between overworked and underactive muscles, improving form and power output.

✅ Injury Prevention – Identifies and releases early signs of overload before they turn into strains or tendon issues.

✅ Enhanced Performance – A well-recovered, well-aligned body performs stronger, faster, and more consistently.

🎯 Whether you’re training for your next event or just finished one — these treatments help you recover smarter, move better, and perform at your best.

☎️ Contact us to book your appointment today and bring your recovery up a notch 💪🏼

🔥 Train Hard. Recover Smarter. Perform Better.

OsGood-Schlatter disease

💭 Ever hear of OsGood-Schlatter disease ? Sounds serious, but it’s not actually a disease ! It’s an overuse injury that commonly affects growing adolescent. The pain is most often felt just below the knee cap.

🦵🏼So what exactly is OsGood-Schlatter ? It is inflammation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity. Due to the constant irritation at the tibial growth plate, pain and inflammation will be a result.

🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️ OsGood-Schlatter is most commonly diagnosed in active, growing adolescents. It occurs most often for male aged between 10-14 however it also affects females aged between 8-12.

⚽️ But what causes OsGood-Schlatter to occur ? For young active individuals who partake in sports or activities which involve lots of running and jumping are more susceptible to developing this “disease”

⚠️ Symptoms of this “disease” often occur during a growth spurt for the individual. A few signs & symptoms include:
- Pain and tenderness at the bony bump just below the knee
- Pain that worsens with activities such as running, jumping, squatting or kneeling.
- A hard, bony bump just below the knee that can be tender to touch.

🩹 The good news is OsGood Schlatter disease does not cause any permanent damage to the knee joint and often symptoms clear after the child’s growth plate has matured into solid bone.
In the meantime managing and treating the symptoms are key.
Reducing aggravating factors is important just until the pain subsides however replacing the running and jumping with low impact activities such as swimming or cycling are great alternatives. Then when the pain has reduced, gradual return to sport can begin.
Physical therapy is key ! The goal is to restore function and prevent reoccurrence. Your physical therapist should aim to reduce pain, improve flexibility and strengthen the surrounding muscles.

How Much Running Is Too Much? 🏃‍♂️💭

A huge study tracked 5,000+ runners over 18 months (Frandsen et al., 2025) — and the results might surprise you.

👉 It’s not just your weekly mileage that matters…
Your longest single run plays a big role in injury risk too.

Here’s what they found:
If you increase your longest run by more than ~10% compared to your biggest run in the past month, your risk of overuse injury goes way up ⚠️

What this means for you:
✅ Build your long run gradually — around 10% at a time
✅ Keep intensity consistent — a 10K easy run is not the same as a 10K hard effort
✅ Use this as a guideline, not a strict rule

Remember — running injuries are multifactorial.
But understanding how your training load changes can make all the difference between progress 🏆 and pain 🚫

💥 Use this as a guideline

How Important Is Tempo in Your Lifts?

Most people chase more weight or more reps… but overlook one of the most powerful tools for muscle growth, strength, and control — tempo.

Tempo is simply how fast you lower, pause, and lift a weight — but it completely changes how your muscles and nervous system respond.

Here’s what happens when you control tempo 👇

💥 Slow eccentrics (lowering phase) → increase mechanical tension and recruit deep, high-threshold motor units that drive hypertrophy.

⏸️ Isometric pauses → build joint stability, eliminate momentum, and develop stronger connective tissue.

⚡ Explosive concentrics → train your nervous system to recruit muscle fibers faster, improving power and performance.

You don’t always need heavier weight — sometimes, you just need better control.

💪🏼 Change the tempo, change the stimulus, and you’ll unlock new levels of growth, strength, and resilience.

Try this:
Next session, slow your eccentric phase to 3–4 seconds, pause at the bottom for 1–2 seconds, then explode up with intent.
You’ll feel the difference instantly!

🔥 Same weight, different tempo = completely different result.
Control the tempo → Control the adaptation!
