  • Bexters in action… Week 1 Posted March 27, 2017

    Off

    Triathlete Emma Sowden has incorporated Bexters Soda Crystals into her gruelling training programme as she prepares for Ironman UK in July. This is her first full Ironman event, having completed two half events last year, and we shall be tracking her progress in this occasional blog.

    She used Bexters for the first time after the Ashby 20 Road Race and was thrilled with the results. After soaking in a warm bath, she wrapped the crystals overnight around an ankle, where she is prone to swelling.

    “After bathing I didn’t feel any of the usual fatigue that I would normally expect after a lengthy training session,” she said. “Having used the wrap (see picture), next morning I had no pain at all in my foot which felt fantastic! In comparison, the other foot definitely felt like it had been through the mill so in future I will wrap both ankles at the same time to keep my body in balance.”

    Known as the most challenging endurance event in the world, Ironman starts with a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride and 25.2 mile run. It is the ultimate test for any triathlete and Emma will be joining some of the country’s most successful competitors for the UK event in Bolton.

    A keen runner who completed several marathons before taking up triathlon last year, Emma had tried various remedies to ease her aching muscles. She told us: “If I am not working I am training, with a full schedule of races leading up to the main event. Post-training recovery has been an issue and it seems as if Bexters could be the answer.”

    Fans of Strictly Come Dancing will know that the fabulous Angela Rippon made use of cryotherapy - the equivalent of an ice bath - to relieve and revive her muscles from the intense training regime required. At the age of 79 she had to put extra effort into maintaining her health and fitness, which was clear from the wonderful routines she and her dance partner Kai performed each week.
    If you don't fancy plunging into an ice cold bath, you can accelerate recovery after rigorous training or exercise by soaking in a bath of warm water with Bexters Soda Crystals, treatment of choice for many top athletes and sportsmen and women.
    Don't take our word for it. Check out our website for more information and user feedback. https://www.bowensuppliesbyhelen.com/

    Falling #autumnleaves mean hours of extra work clearing up and preparing the garden for winter. Many of Helen's clients then complain of an aching back and even worse strained muscles which can affect posture and lead to time off work. Relief can often be found from a soak in a warm bath or if things don't improve, book a #bowentherapy session.
