Strength & Recovery: How to Look, and Feel, Bulletproof
Over time, our bodies can begin to feel less than optimal: whether from injury or general wear and tear, pregnancy or hormonal change. So what are the hi-tech yet holistic routes to feeling bulletproof once more?
We were joined by an acclaimed panel of physique-focused experts – including aesthetic doctor to the stars, Dr Rita Rakus; breast surgeon and fat transfer specialist, Mrs Jacqueline Lewis; and The Peak Club osteopath, Enrico Di Candia – who revealed the latest treatments and techniques to recover from injury, restore lost strength and rebuild our bodies.
The aim? To discover physical resilience on the day-to-day: but also take back ownership of our bodies – safely and sustainably.
