Training for the London Marathon? Whether it’s your first 26.2 miles or you’re a seasoned runner chasing a new PB, your body is working overtime. Long runs, speed sessions, and strength training take a toll—and recovery becomes just as important as the training itself.
Enter LPG Endermologie: the non-invasive treatment every athlete needs to know about.
💡 What is LPG?
LPG (short for LipoMASSAGE by Endermologie) is a cutting-edge treatment. It uses mechanical stimulation to improve lymphatic drainage, increase blood circulation, and relieve muscle tension. While it’s best known for smoothing skin and reducing cellulite, LPG is also incredibly effective for muscle recovery. This makes it a top choice for athletes and active individuals.
🏃♂️ How LPG Helps with Marathon Training
When you’re clocking up the miles in preparation for something as big as the London Marathon, your muscles are under constant stress. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), tight hamstrings, aching quads, and lactic acid build-up are all part of the journey—but they don’t have to slow you down.
Here’s how LPG supports your training:
✅ Speeds up muscle recovery
The rolling action of LPG helps flush out toxins, reduce inflammation, and break down lactic acid. This means less stiffness and soreness post-run.
✅ Boosts circulation
Improved blood flow means your muscles get more oxygen and nutrients—key for repair and performance.
✅ Reduces fluid retention and swelling
Long runs can cause water retention, especially in the legs. LPG helps drain excess fluid, leaving you feeling lighter and more energised.
✅ Prevents injury
By keeping your muscles supple and your fascia loose, LPG can help reduce your risk of strain and overuse injuries.
✅ Promotes overall wellbeing
LPG also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you feel more relaxed and supporting better sleep—both crucial for optimal performance.
