A new report has revealed that a quarter of Britons have an exercise injury from which they have never fully recovered. The research, conducted by The Turmeric Co., also found that 41 per cent of people who resumed fitness routines at the start of the year are now experiencing pain.
The study highlights the challenges of injury recovery, with one in five individuals abandoning exercise altogether due to pain and injury. More than a third admit to relying on social media advice for their recovery, rather than professional guidance.
In response, The Turmeric Co. has launched the Rep Recovery Rover, a mobile rehabilitation station currently visiting Apex Fitness London. The initiative offers gym-goers access to a physiotherapist for personalised strengthening exercises and advice.
Performance nutritionist Ed Tooley is also available to recommend natural remedies, including curcumin, the active compound in turmeric known for reducing inflammation and supporting joint health. The Turmeric Co.’s founder, Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson Kanu, stressed the importance of sustainable recovery methods to prevent discouragement.
