ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!
Meet our Sports Rehab Team
"Please join me in re-introducing Carole and Rachel, together known as Cool Health.
Some of you have been fortunate enough to work with this dynamic duo and some of you have no doubt heard of their work.
For anyone new or anyone who has not been introduced yet, Carole and Rachel are here to support the team and offer their expertise in corrective exercise, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, hands on therapy (such as clinical massage, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, and scar tissue therapy), and nutrition/lifestyle management. They work together to help people resolve musculoskeletal issues, pain and injury and bridge the gap between early stage rehabilitation and performance.
Carole has been a veteran supporter for many years, volunteering her time and skills to organizations such as Combat Stress (through Healing Hands Network), West London Mission (through Healing Hands Network), and the Invictus Games competitors (through Restore Therapy). Through her work with Combat Stress she has travelled to Bosnia to work with people affected by the war there and has a deep understanding of how people can be affected by it.
Carole and Rachel met in 2017 when they were both working for the same clinic in central London and on first sight, they knew they wanted to work together. They had to wait a few years for this, and finally in 2020 they joined forces and Rachel has been working with Carole in all the same areas, with all the above people, and their day-to-day clients.
As well as all of the above, Rachel specializes in Fascial Stretch Therapy. Which is a perfect complement to the rest of the work done at Cool Health. It is a modality that is unique to North America and there are very few FST practitioners in the UK. FST is a table- based manual stretching technique that uses traction to allow the muscle and fascia surrounding it to ease into new ranges of motion that were previously not reachable. It is best used for improving range of motion, decreasing stress/ tension, relieving pain and discomfort and in that, improving physical performance.
Together, Carole and Rachel have a combined 52 years of experience and it shows. The level of detail and care in their work is second to none and they are kindly offering their time and expertise, not only to keep us match-ready, but give us the skills and the know-how to look after our health, our wellbeing, and the injuries we’ve sustained through the years."
