Support for Triathletes

Triathlon is one of the most demanding endurance sports out there — combining swimming, cycling, and running into a single event (often over long distances). It requires not only cardiovascular fitness, but also muscular endurance, joint stability, efficient movement patterns, and smart recovery practices.

With training spread across three disciplines, it’s common for triathletes to experience issues like overuse injuries, muscle imbalances, tightness, or fatigue-related niggles — especially when load isn’t managed carefully. The repetitive nature of the sport can also place stress on the shoulders, hips, knees, lower back, and Achilles.

At Active Balance, we work with triathletes of all levels — from weekend warriors to experienced Ironman competitors — to help them train consistently, manage injuries, and perform at their best across all three disciplines.

What We Focus On

We take a comprehensive approach to triathlon care. We assess your movement, understand the demands of your training block or race calendar, and tailor your care plan accordingly.

This may include:

• A thorough assessment of posture, technique, and muscle imbalances across swim, bike, and run
• Mobility and strengthening programs to address common areas of overload (shoulders, knees, hips, calves, back)
• Support with injury recovery and niggle management to avoid needing long breaks from training
• Advice around training load, recovery strategies, and how to prevent flare-ups or setbacks during peak season

Hands-On Treatment & Recovery Support

Triathletes benefit greatly from hands-on therapy, especially during high training periods or post-race recovery. Our team offers a mix of soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, dry needling, cupping, and stretching — all designed to reduce muscle tension, restore movement, and keep your body feeling race-ready.

Whether it’s shoulder stiffness from swim training, hip tightness from hours in the saddle, or Achilles tension from run mileage, we’ll treat the issue directly and work to prevent it from returning.

Staying Strong, Mobile & Injury-Free

Triathlon training is intense — and long-term performance depends on staying consistent and injury-free. We’ll help you move better, recover faster, and build the strength and mobility needed to handle your training load without breaking down.

Our approach is practical, athlete-focused, and always tailored to your current goals — whether you’re preparing for your first sprint tri or working toward a personal best at Ironman.
