What Her Clients Say
Nuwandi, my recovery specialist, has been amazing from day one. Her ability to assess my condition and identify the causes of my frozen shoulder pain without much explanation was remarkable. What really stands out is her attention to my progress. Every two weeks, she provides new exercises tailored to my needs, along with detailed documents and video links. Was the 1st time I’ve received in the UAE such care.
Nuwandi’s active stretching and cryotherapy have been a game changer for my recovery after Barry’s workouts. Her techniques relieve tension, reduce soreness, and leave me refreshed. The whole reSTART team, including the reception for smooth scheduling, is amazing. Highly recommend!
Safe to say Nuwandi is one of the best things that’s ever happened to me! Her sports massages have transformed the way I manage pain and can continue to do exercise. After trying physios that just didn’t understand what I was explaining regarding an injury, Nuwandi completely got it and we have worked to resolve the historical issues with my shoulders.
Train hard. Recover harder.
