I wish I had found this place last week but was unaware of them until Cara and Mikaela came to my tennis club to introduce themselves to us at a social tennis tournament we were having. Unfortunately for me, I pulled my hamstring running down a shot into the court adjacent to me quite stupidly and my day and possibly season came to a very upsetting close
After icing, Cara had me on the table and began stretching the uninjured parts of my body to open up hip flexors and help relax a body that has been beat up. She was very careful with the hamstring and did things to open the hips up on that side and spent nearly an hour with me. I iced and went to Remedy Bodyworks for Isolated Cryo on hamstring on Monday and then found LYMBR in Darien. I spent an hour with Rachael yesterday and another hour back in Cara's capable hands. They are extremely good at what they do. This is the place to go to prevent injury and get expert stretching done well beyond what even the most diligent stretcher could do on their own. The sessions begin with you sitting on a chair working on various rotations assisting you.
I'm finishing this update on 9/6 and would give LYMBR 10 Stars If I could.
Here is why: while managing my hamstring injury, my #1 goal for the rest of the summer was to somehow survive and be able to play in my tennis club's 2 singles events. My expectations had been revised down and I was just happy to be able to play. Well, talk about pleasant surprises. With Rachael's guidance and improvements in my flexibility, I decided to book 30 minute sessions before each tennis match I had. I figured this was a bit ambitious but I wanted to give myself the best chances possible to go in feeling loosened up. The first 2 matches I played were the best singles matches I played in 10 years! Now it was not all Lymbr but talk about confidence-boosting impact. I continued through and played 5 matches in 8 days despite a compromised hamstring. I used LYMBR before every match and went back to Rachael for a second stretch after a Saturday match to start recovery and prep for 3rd match. I went to Remedy Bodyworks for cryo. Now, I'm a very dedicated and competitive athlete and doing all this was not cheap but I bought packages, made the smart investment in my health and it paid off. I made it to the finals in two events and played consecutive days in intense heat and could never have done it without Rachael and her really talented and caring colleagues, Michael, Noah, Holly and Mikaela. I will continue to go during offseason more on a maintenance basis and strongly recommend LYMBR for all serious athletes as well as those less serious ones who may be suffering from chronic stiffness in various joints. You will feel much better and the investment in your health and well-being will more than pay for itself over time. Thank you LYMBR!!! read more
