Supporting Runners at Regent’s Park
Touch Tuina Practitioners were happy to give back at the LGN Advertising Industry 5km Run recently. On Sunday, 28th August, runners gathered in the beautiful surroundings of Regent’s Park for the LGN Advertising Industry 5km Run. The Touch Tuina team were proud to be there to provide post-race Tuina massage for recovery of the runners.
The LGN Advertising Industry 5k has been running since 2007, it involves multiple advertising agencies and their employees, aiming to encourage fitness and wellbeing for all participants.
How does Tuina Massage for Recovery work?
Tuina, a traditional form of Chinese medical massage, is particularly beneficial for runners. By working along the body’s meridians and muscle groups, Tuina helps to release tension, improve circulation and speed up recovery. For runners, this can mean reduced soreness, better flexibility and even a lower risk of injury.
The Touch Tuina Team
The Touch Tuina practitioners that were on hand to help out included Mariana, Adrian, Dahl, Andrew and Nicholas. We were also delighted to have former Touch Tuina practitioner Chris there too. He was kind enough to fly in from the United States to spend the day with us! We set up at the finish line and were ready to treat the participants as they completed the run.
Many of the runners were new to the benefits of Tuina. They were surprised how revitalised they felt after just a short session. One runner even popped by for a pre-race fix as he was feeling a bit tight. Chris was happy to give him a quick treatment to loosen up his calves and ankles, and he went on to achieve a Personal Best time in the race!
Why we like to give back
For Touch Tuina, being present at events like this is about more than the treatment. It’s about giving back to the community. We strongly believe that supporting local runners, sharing the benefit of Tuina and encouraging recovery and well-being is time very well spent!
Other community events we’ve covered previously include the Ayo Falola Dream Mile, the Bartholomew Street Fayre and the Haringey Borough Women’s Football Team.
Regular Tuina treatments can help to keep you muscles supple and performing at their peak. Tuina can also help you to avoid a multitude of common injuries.
