Stay Up to Speed with London Marathon Training
THURSDAY, 7 FEBRUARY 2008
This year's London Marathon takes place on 13 April, with tens of thousands of runners expected to compete. Sporting experts at London Marathon recommend a 24-week training programme prior to the big day, requiring ongoing commitment from those taking part, with hours of running put in behind the scenes.
That makes down-time with minor aches, pains and injuries even more frustrating, and with potentially weeks of training being delayed by often minor setbacks, it's worthwhile to look at the things you can do to help you stay on track with training:
Common training injuries listed by London Marathon include muscular aches and pains, knee pain and injuries at the Achilles' tendon. Conventional treatments for running ailments have long included painkillers and in some cases, TENS treatment which blocks the body's ability to perceive pain through a series of electrical impulses. But treating the pain of sports injury often only masks the symptoms rather than healing them. There's now a new solution for runners which not only beats pain but is also thought to accelerate to body's own healing process. NEW Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps are a safe, convenient, non-evasive pain management device, which use micro-current therapy to effectively target aches and pains at source and speed up the recovery process.
What is Micro-Current Therapy?
Micro-Current Therapy is backed by over 50 years of clinical research and has until now been traditionally administered in clinics by trained physiotherapists to relieve muscular and skeletal pain. Micro-Current Therapy works by allowing a low-level micro-current to flow through the painful area, to help the healing process while delivering effective pain relief, improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
How do Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps work?
Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps bring this revolutionary technology directly to consumers in a convenient way to deliver pain relief where it is needed most. Discreet enough to be worn comfortably under clothing, they wrap around the whole area of the pain source, allowing a carefully controlled micro-current that you can't even feel the flow completely through it via a special conducting fabric.
Commenting on the efficacy of Micro-Current Therapy in relieving pain, Sarah Bazin, head of physiotherapy at Birmingham's Heart of England NHS Trust, says: "Micro-Current Therapy works by stimulating the pain source and in effect, helping the body to accelerate its own healing process. Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps utilize exactly the same technology and I would recommend them to anyone who seeks convenient and effective pain relief - they really do work."
Colin Jackson, one of Britain's greatest all-time athletes, has battled through back and knee pain, including seven knee operations during his career. He has since found relief from Pain Ease Wraps and says: "Over the years, I've accepted the pain as a consequence of working my body so hard for so long. As an athlete, I used to spend so much of my time and money on physiotherapy. Now, I've finally found a solution to my pain that works and suits my lifestyle. I use Pain Ease Wraps at home and on the move to treat myself as and when I need it. I no longer have to live with ongoing discomfort or spend hours on the physio couch - Pain Ease Micro-Current Wraps really have been a lifesaver!"
