My Story

Busy work schedule. Travelling for work. Young family. Not getting enough sleep. Sore from the gym. Injured playing sport. Managing a lifelong condition. I know personally just how many things can stop you from feeling and performing at your best - and that is exactly why recovery became such a big focus for me.

I've been involved in martial arts for around 17 years - which unfortunately has resulted in an injury or two. During one spell away from the mats, I remember watching a documentary about the 'World's Strongest Man', Eddie Hall. He said something along the lines of: "Other people are training as hard as me, but no one is recovering as hard as me."

That stuck with me.

Even when you cannot train, compete, or perform the way you want to, there is usually still something you can do. You can work on recovery. You can support your body. You can create better conditions to move, feel, and perform better again.

For me, that started with a foam roller and a yoga mat. Over time, I tried all sorts of tools, gadgets, and methods that claimed to support recovery. Some were useful. Some were not. But one thing consistently helped: hands-on treatment.

A good massage always made me feel better - looser, lighter, and more able to move.

The Rec Pod grew from that idea: recover as hard as you train. Unfortunately for me sometimes I now spend more time focusing on recovery than training - but that's good news for all of my clients.

Come see me in a private recovery space built around proper hands-on treatment. I can't guarantee the banter or dad jokes I'm coming out with these days will aid your recovery, but they are provided at no extra cost.
