Sports Massage

Previous participants of the Thames Meander will remember Monika - the most welcome sight at the finish after the medal and the cup of hot soup.

She will be back again in 2008, supported by some of her colleagues, to provide massage and post-event recovery advice.

Benefits of Sports Massage: speeding up recovery and reducing injuries
The main purpose of Sports and Remedial Massage is to improve the condition of muscles and associated soft tissues, improve the circulation and speed up recovery from an injury or a strenuous event. Sports massage supports, and should be an integral part of, the training regime. The massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, will release muscle tension, promote flexibility and help to prevent injuries.

Monika Bendall - Background
Monika Bendall is an SMA certified Sports and Remedial Massage practitioner. with established practices in the City and in Central London. She is also a senior lecturer in the North London School of Sports Massage.

Monika initially trained in Swedish Massage with Clare Maxwell-Hudson, who championed the re-introduction of massage therapy to mainstream medical practice in Britain. During her training, Monika was on a series of work placements in a number of NHS hospitals in London.

On finishing the course, she started working in an osteopathy clinic where her work involved dealing with a lot of chronic injuries (both athletes and office workers) and post-acute injury scenarios. This prompted Monika to develop her skills further.

She trained in Sports and Remedial Massage with the London School of Sports Massage, one of the top schools for deep tissue and remedial massage techniques. In her work she combines the two quite different massage techniques into an individual treatment to support her clients' goals and to help recovery in specific conditions.
