(01) The practice
Not a spa. A recovery practice for bodies that work hard — on the field, on the farm, at the desk.
Sports massage, dry needling, cupping, strapping, lymph drainage and red light, used where they help and never for show.

One body at a time.
Case 02
Rugby · back spasm
Walked in bent over. Walked out standing tall.
A heavy tackle sent his back into severe spasm; he could barely walk upright. No serious injury, but intense pain. With the right treatment he left relieved, smiling, and moving freely.
April 2026
Case 03
Rehab · nerve injury
A long road after a car accident.
After multiple surgeries for nerve injuries in his leg, a client started the next phase of rehab: sports massage, dry needling, electrical nerve stimulation (Accu Pen) and red light therapy, to give his body the best chance to recover.
August 2026
Case 04
Sleep · lower back
“The first full night’s sleep in two years.”
“For a few years I’ve slept like a rotisserie chicken, I could only lie on one side for an hour before my back got sore. The whole combo from yesterday fixed something.” — Frans B., via WhatsApp
