Building growth and repair into daily life.
Training is all about creating controlled exertion to stimulate a change in the efficiency and efficacy of each of the body’s systems. But before any improvement can occur, you must be in a recovery state. At Woody's Movement Workshop we don’t treat recovery as something we only do after training; we incorporate it into daily life to promote continual growth and repair. This means learning the ability to transition from a state of high intensity into a calm, relaxed state. It’s not about speeding up recovery but fully accessing the body’s natural restorative processes, both physiological and psychological. No matter if you’re an athlete looking for an edge or someone who needs to manage stress better, we specialise in creating the optimal environment around you and empowering you with the practical skills needed to rest, recover, and renew.
Our recovery training includes:
Trigger point and myofascial-release techniques to self-manage muscular tightness, pain, and improve blood flow and range of motion.
Decompression exercises to take the load off the spine and joints and disperse it to the musculature.
Banded joint distraction to create space in the joints for more fluid movement.
Cold water immersion and heat acclimation - incredible forms of eustress (beneficial stress).
Reducing the body's sensitisation to pain and inflammation through restorative movement and body-alignment techniques.
Down-regulation breathing to induce the recovery state.
Training the mind to be more present and calm.
Sleep hygiene protocol to establish good sleeping patterns - essential for optimal recovery.
