Meet Erin: 44, mom of two, part-time runner, full-time “my hips always hurt” adult athlete.
She used to crush her morning workouts… and then hobble through the rest of the day.
Stiff back. Tight hips. Soreness that never really went away.
She kept telling herself it was “just getting older.”
But one Thursday, after cutting a run short from pain, she walked into The Recovery Bar.
At her first session, she did assisted stretching and compression.
By the third visit, she said,
“I didn’t realize how tight I really was… until my body finally loosened up.”
Two weeks later?
Her hips weren’t locking up during runs.
Her lower back stopped flaring.
And for the first time in years, she woke up without feeling like she aged a decade overnight.
Now Erin books her stretches and compression every week,
not because she’s “injured”…
but because she finally understands what her body needed all along:
Consistent recovery → consistent progress.
And she’ll tell anyone who will listen:
“I wish I started this sooner.”
