Top tips for getting race ready - muscles and joints

Supporting muscle and joint pain

Staying alert to looming injuries is vital during the last month of training, as any injuries which are ignored may prevent you from completing your race. If you are experiencing muscle pain, Kinesiology Tape such as NeoTape can be a great solution. There are numerous different taping techniques to try, depending on where you are experiencing pain.

Alternatively, a support could be a great solution for minor injuries. Supports such as the Neo G Stabilized Open Knee feature metal stays on both sides to give flexible support, and an open patella design and stitched buttress to reinforce support to the patella. By choosing a support suitable for your injury, you can help to ensure your injury doesn’t worsen and avoid difficulties during training and your race. Remember however, don't persist with training if injuries worsen, as you may damage your bones, joints or muscles - listen to your body.
