As an avid runner whose had her share of injuries, my #1 goal is to train consistently, above any race distance or time goals. When you can't stay healthy enough to make it to the race's starting line, any thoughts of a Boston Qualifier, personal record, or goal time are out of the window.
The Athlete Recovery Lab can help you make fitness goals a reality. It is a facility for athlete recovery, injury prevention, and performance needs. They offer stretch therapy, sports massage, KT taping, compression therapy, and more.
The owner, Jeremy, is a sports physiologist, and the staff also includes a physical therapist, massage therapist, stretch instructor, and a movement specialist. You can book one-on-one sessions with the professionals, and the lab also has a large self-recovery area with devices from the leading companies in athlete recovery.
I tested out the NormaTec Recovery Boots. The Athlete Recovery Lab is one of the only places in South Carolina where you can try out the recovery boots, which are normally seen at marathon or triathlon expos. I wore the boots for about 45 minutes and almost fell asleep! When I got up, I felt like I had a sports massage, and my run the next day was great. read more
