Supporting CBRE’s Row 50 Challenge

Supporting CBRE’s Row 50 Challenge: Helping Raise £50,000 for Alzheimer’s Society

On Friday 4th April, the Livewell Health event team had the pleasure of attending CBRE’s annual Row 50 Challenge at their London offices – an inspiring event that brings together teams and individuals to row 50km in support of a vital cause. This year, the challenge raised a phenomenal £50,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society, helping to support their mission to ensure dementia is recognised as a national health priority and to improve care, support, and awareness across the UK.

Representing Livewell Health on the day were Kit, Tracey, and Stephen, who were on-site throughout the event offering much-needed event recovery services to the dedicated rowers. These services included the incredibly popular Hyperice Normatec Compression Boot Therapy, provided in anti-gravity chairs for maximum comfort, as well as sports event massage and therapy, and injury prevention and assessment support.

The atmosphere at the CBRE offices was buzzing with energy, determination, and community spirit as dozens of participants gave it their all for a cause close to so many hearts. From first-time rowers to seasoned employees, every kilometre rowed was a powerful show of support for individuals and families affected by dementia.

Our team thoroughly enjoyed being part of the day, helping participants recover, recharge, and continue their rowing efforts with reduced fatigue and improved mobility. These types of events are a great reminder of the role recovery and preventative care play in supporting both performance and wellbeing, especially during physically demanding challenges.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to CBRE and Rebecca, who led the organisation of this incredible event, for inviting us to be part of such a meaningful day. The funds raised will go a long way in supporting the Alzheimer’s Society’s work, which includes groundbreaking research, vital support services, and advocacy to improve the lives of people living with dementia.

For our team, the highlight was seeing how positively participants responded to our services. Many shared how the compression therapy and massage support helped relieve aches and stiffness, allowing them to complete the challenge feeling stronger and more supported. The feedback we received reaffirmed why we do what we do – helping people move and feel better, especially when they’re pushing their limits for a great cause.

We left the event feeling inspired, grateful, and proud to have played a part in such an impactful initiative. Congratulations once again to all the teams and individuals who took part, and of course, to CBRE for hosting another successful Row 50 Challenge. Here’s to continuing to make a difference – one stroke, one service, and one event at a time.

Wolf Run June 2024

Our Team’s Impact at The Wolf Run in June 2024: A Comprehensive Recovery Experience

In June 2024, our team proudly participated in The Wolf Run, an exhilarating outdoor event that challenges participants with a mix of mud, trails, and obstacle courses. This year, we brought our expertise to the forefront by setting up and managing the mobile recovery unit, aptly named the Recovery Hub. Our goal was to provide Wolf Runners with top-tier recovery services, ensuring they could rejuvenate and recover effectively after their strenuous efforts.

The Recovery Hub quickly became a vital stop for participants. Our advanced sports massage services were highly sought after, offering runners relief from muscle fatigue and soreness. These massages, administered by our skilled therapists, helped alleviate tension and promote quicker recovery, allowing runners to feel refreshed and ready for their next challenge.

In addition to massages, we introduced ice pod therapy, which provided an invigorating cool-down experience, reducing inflammation and speeding up muscle recovery. For those seeking warmth and relaxation, our hot steam saunas offered a perfect counterbalance, soothing tired muscles and promoting overall relaxation.

Our compression boot therapy, available on anti-gravity chairs, was a standout feature. This innovative treatment helped improve circulation and reduce muscle swelling, making it a favourite among the runners. The mobile injury assessment clinic was on hand to address any immediate concerns, ensuring that all participants received the necessary care and advice.

We also provided Theragun therapy, a cutting-edge percussive therapy tool that targeted deep muscle tension and promoted faster recovery. Medical acupuncture was available for those needing precise, targeted pain relief and enhanced healing.

Finally, our stretch and recover zone offered a dedicated space for runners to engage in guided stretching routines, helping to prevent injuries and enhance flexibility.

Our participation at The Wolf Run 2024 was a resounding success, with the Recovery Hub receiving overwhelming positive feedback. We are proud to have contributed to the well-being of the runners, enhancing their experience and supporting their recovery journey. We look forward to bringing our comprehensive recovery services to future events, continuing to promote health, wellness, and optimal performance.
