How recovery progresses
Cases from professional athletes, youth athletes, and general clients.
KBL — Return to play after rehabilitation
For a KBL player unable to compete after an in-season ankle injury, we addressed the injured ankle while rebuilding overall physical capacity. A dedicated trainer managed an accelerated return-to-play plan, and the player was back in competition in four weeks.
“It wasn't just rehab — it was a complete reset of my body. Because the program accounted for game readiness and not only the injured joint, people told me my performance was actually better after I came back.”
— Player L (KBL)
U-12 ice hockey — Growth management
For an 11-year-old whose upper-body strength had developed disproportionately to his skeletal maturity, we ran a ten-week program centered on lower-body strength, core stability, and posture correction. Flexibility and agility scores rose, and muscle balance improved measurably.
“Once his balance improved, his hockey movement got so much lighter.”
— Parent of a youth athlete (Ice hockey)
Gait recovery & return to daily life
A functional recovery case for a client who had struggled to walk for ten years. Based on an initial assessment, we combined neurologically focused care with tailored movement correction. The client returned to everyday walking within two weeks, and with continued management is hiking again.
“I never knew being able to walk could be this moving. Now I walk thirty minutes a day and I've started hiking again after years away.”
— General member (Gait recovery)
Real stories from the people who came through
From professional athletes to people simply wanting their daily lives back — stories of change their bodies registered first.
“I was weighing up whether to end my season because of a knee injury. Through MFR's structured recovery and training I was back competing in six weeks. I can step on the court again without hesitation.”
“Hip pain meant I couldn't produce proper movement on the ice. Once one-to-one manual therapy and performance training were connected properly, I could play full games pain-free.”
“Recurring shoulder injuries almost made me give up on national team selection. But MFR designed recovery with performance in mind, not just rehabilitation, and I reached a career-best ranking.”
“Growing pains and recurring hamstring trouble were destroying my child's confidence. By the second week of the program he was telling us his body felt light and heading out to train on his own. His condition improved and his post-match recovery is noticeably different.”
“For ten years after surgery I couldn't walk properly and avoided everyday life. Back pain had long since ended the hiking I loved. Here, for the first time, I experienced recovery built around my body — walking pain-free in two weeks, and a month later I had my hiking gear back out. The direction of my life changed.”
“I suffered from ringing in my ears for three years. I couldn't sleep without medication and no hospital had a clear answer. Here they worked not on the ear itself but on regulating the whole central nervous system through optic nerve exercise. It felt unfamiliar at first, but after a few weeks came a moment of quiet — and my sleep quality and sense of stability changed completely.”

The questions we hear most
The things almost everyone asks before their first visit — answered the way we actually answer them.
I'm not an athlete. Can I still come?
Absolutely. Alongside professional athletes, My Favorite Recovery sees many general clients dealing with pain, postural issues, or post-surgical recovery. We build a tailored program for everyone based on condition and goals.
Is it manual therapy only, or is there exercise too?
MFR's strength is that manual therapy, exercise, and neurological care are connected as one. We identify the factors contributing to the symptoms first, then design a flow that addresses recovery and performance together.
How does the collaboration with hospitals work?
Where needed, we build more precise and safer programs on the basis of medical assessment and diagnosis. If a client's condition calls for a specialist opinion, we have internal processes to guide and refer appropriately.
What does it cost?
It varies by program type and goal. After your first visit we give you a transparent, tailored quote based on the initial assessment. We don't push packages.
How many sessions before I see change?
It depends on what you're changing — pain reduction, postural improvement, movement recovery — and on your starting condition. Some see short-term progress quickly, but lasting change is best planned over the medium to long term.
Who will I be working with? What's their background?
Every session at MFR is delivered directly by a qualified trainer or clinician. With thousands of hours across sports rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and performance with both athletes and general clients, we work one-to-one as a matter of principle.
What's the process for a first visit?
You can book an initial consultation through the website form or by phone. Your first visit covers assessment and consultation only — you're free to take your time deciding whether to start a program.
