BUILT THE HARD WAY.
Sports Recovery Studio started in 2023 as one biokineticist in a small rented room. Today it's the largest sports recovery facility on Cape Town's West Coast — and we're just getting started.
HOLLY'S STORY.
Holly grew up playing every sport she could — cricket, soccer, netball, dancing — which also meant she was injured a lot. Every injury introduced her to another recovery professional, and every visit made her more curious about how the body heals.
She qualified as a biokineticist in 2022, moved to Cape Town in 2023, and founded Sports Recovery Studio that October — a small rented space, basic equipment, and a daily hustle for clients. She joined every sports community she could find: surfing, padel, action netball. Those communities became her network, and that network became her clients. Within a year, she was fully booked.
In 2026 the studio moved into a 300m² facility in Rivergate — bringing biokinetics, sports massage, recovery tech, Pilates and nutrition under one roof.
"I realised there's often an unspoken competition between bios, physios, chiros and other recovery professionals. But instead of working against each other, we should be working as a network."
