At The Addison in Marrickville, recovery and wellness are integrated into our approach to long-term health and performance. Our recovery services support muscle repair, reduce fatigue, and assist in managing soreness following training, work demands, or surgery.


Our recovery suite includes pneumatic compression, cold and compression therapy, and heat-based soft tissue recovery devices. These tools are used to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and assist in relaxing overactive or fatigued muscles. They are commonly applied as part of post-exercise recovery, post-operative rehabilitation, or general mobility maintenance.


Recovery sessions are tailored to your activity level and physical demands. They may be used alongside physiotherapy, strength training, or massage, depending on your goals and stage of rehabilitation. Treatment focus is adjusted to ensure recovery supports rather than interrupts training or daily activity.


Recovery services at The Addison provide structured, evidence-based support for active individuals across Marrickville and surrounding Inner West suburbs such as Petersham and Enmore.

Ben's creates simple and achievable programs for all clients and ensure that longevity is at the forefront of their rehab plan.
