I have been out of the gym for 6 months and as a result i had become some what less flexible but thanks to the recovery room and the great staff i feel much more alive and ready to get back in the gym knowing i wont cause myself an injury 10/10 😎👌 thanks guys😎👌
I've since continued to have routine sports massages to maintain my general health and wellbeing which has been great for my routine strength and conditioning regime.
I'd certainly recommend the recovery room to anyone looking to improve their overall health or focus on specific areas!
This time I went to see Georgia 2 months after a bike accident to help ease the tightness and stiffness in my legs and knee which took some impact from the fall.
We spent some time discussing what happened, the injury I sustained plus what was currently happening and Georgia worked wonders and even sent me away with some homework!!
I'll be back for another sports massage after my next physio appointment for sure ☺️
