If you could carry amassage therapist around with you everywhere, we’re willing to bet that you would. And that’s the idea behind Recovapro—a uniquely-developed tool that acts as your own personal masseur. Anywhere.

The CrossFit Shoulder Pain and WhatRecovapro Can Do About It…

CrossFit has become increasingly popular worldwide. Coaches and athletes have recently attested significant improvements in their health and wellness due to CrossFit, although some argued that it poses a great risk of injury, specifically to the shoulder, due to the high intensity and volume of training.

For the Outdoor Enthusiast

Studies suggest that even short daily amounts of nature improve our moods. If you can safely get outdoors and away from people, take a hike, jog, walk or bike ride. Or bring your workout to a park or your yard, Mr. Vlaun says. He cautions to keep a distance from other people and to bring hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to clean any equipment that you touch before and after using it.

For Small Spaces

You don’t need fancy equipment or a large space to break a sweat, says Samantha Campbell, owner of Deep Relief Peak Performance Athletic Training Center in Maui. This high-intensity interval training workout delivers a boot camp burn with body weight and household items, like jars of peanut butter and jugs of water.

For the Homebound Yogi

Many shuttered studios, including YogaWorks and CorePower Yoga, are offering free online classes. San Francisco-based yoga instructor Sarah Ezrin is a fan of Glo, an app that offers over 4,000 on-demand classes, and Yogis Anonymous, with over 8,000 classes. A towel or carpet can replace a mat, couch cushions make great bolsters and a belt can double as a strap, she says.

For Aging Athletes

As we age, our balance declines, says Dani Johnson, a physical therapist with the Mayo Clinic’s Healthy Living Program in Rochester, Minn. Implementing balance exercises as simple as standing on one leg as you brush your teeth can help prevent falls. Getting a daily dose of cardio can boost the immune system.

Gym closures and quarantine mandates are forcing people to make big changes to their workout routines. But exercise is especially important now, even when the logistics are more challenging because it boosts us physically andmentally, says Craig Sawchuk, a clinical psychologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

As new COVID-19 cases continue to emerge, many healthy individuals are being requested to stay at home in self-quarantine. In the UK, fitness centres, Bars, restaurants and other locations where individuals are normally active will remain temporarily closed. Staying at home for prolonged periods of time can pose a significant challenge. 

If you’re an office person, you probably spend much of the day sitting at a desk. This puts you at increased risk for spending prolonged time in poor posture, which can potentially cause you pain and discomfort. As with the infamous “pain in the neck” expression, pain in the  neck is really a bothersome experience that notoriously inflicts discomfort to every desk worker. 

Many are wanting a well buffed chest to show off, hit the gym to build up their chests and hooked on chest building exercises, but many wind up having chest pains either as a normal effect of the training or due to faulty improper techniques.

If you’re a first timer, it's normal to experience some muscle straining after doing exercises like bench press, provided that you executed the exercises properly. You’re chest muscles are still well adapting to the load, which they are not accustomed to. But if you’re an experienced gym goer, you might have done something wrong and developed muscle tearing.
