Since moving back to the Cook Islands in 2021, I have always been conscious of my lower back and knee pains and always in need of any form of recovery services. Living in Australia prior to returning, I took for granted the ease of access to recovery services which are few and far between in the Cook Islands.

I soon noticed that I am not the only one with the same issues and thoughts and so began the idea of a Recovery Centre.

Funnily enough, it was actually over a few beers and comparing battle wounds and injuries with the boys that Edward Herman, Geoff Tama and I, Rangi Ivaiti, or REG, agreed we needed to look further into a better facility on island to meet some of the recovery needs of everyday gym goers, paddlers, growers and team sportspeople. Within the next few weeks we were talking about our visions and strategies then into turning dirt for the first phase of the facility.

We agreed upon the first phase being saunas and ice bath services with the next phases to introduce studios or fitness and yoga platforms. We hope to share this vision with anyone in search of a bit of REG-uvenation
