The Recovery Pyramid
The Recovery Pyramid is a breakdown of how you should prioritise your time when recovering from an injury or activity!

We all know that Hyrox has blown up over the last year or so. Almost everyone knows someone who has competed in one, or has signed up to one.

Working with Teams
Have you ever been in a room where you had to compete with other voices to be heard? Can you remember how you felt in that situation? If you have to compete with others to be heard, it will ultimately lead to frustration and friction within the group.
Massage and your Mental Health
At Limitless Therapy Clinic, we do not claim to be experts in the area of mental health (if you are suffering, we recommend you see your GP or Therapist) but clients regularly note feeling calmer and more relaxed after treatments.

The Benefits of Massage
