Steven Mills, founder of Stronghold Recovery

The man behind it

Why I started
Stronghold

I am Steven Mills, a Royal Air Force Regiment veteran with eight years' service, an Ironman and Hyrox athlete, and a dad. Stronghold Recovery is built on what all of that taught me: you are only at your best when you recover properly.

Eight years in the RAF Regiment, with tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, showed me what the body and mind can take, and what it costs to push hard with nothing behind you. A lifetime of rugby, then Ironman, Hyrox and ultra distances, taught me the same lesson from the other side. Recovery is not an extra, it is part of the work.

So I went mobile on purpose. No clinic, no waiting room, no driving home stiff after a session. I bring the table, the tools and the full setup to your door, and you get a straight assessment, proper hands-on treatment and an honest plan. Nothing you do not need.

Questions

Before you ask

What happens in a first session?

We start with a quick chat about how you train, where it hurts and what you want back. Then it is hands-on assessment and treatment, and you finish with a couple of things to do between sessions. Allow around an hour.

Where do you travel to?

Steven covers Doncaster and the surrounding DN postcodes and brings everything to your home, gym or event. If you are just outside the area, ask anyway, it can often be worked around.

What is cupping and does it hurt?

Cupping uses suction to lift and decompress tight tissue and get blood moving through it. It can feel unusual the first time and may leave temporary circular marks, but most people find it relieving rather than painful.

What is IASTM?

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation, precision tools worked along the muscle to find and break down adhesions and scar tissue that hands alone can miss. It pairs well with massage in the same session.

How do the sauna and cold plunge work at my house?

Steven brings the lot to you and sets it up at your address, around forty minutes from van to ready. It is an eight-person wood-fired sauna (a pop-up tent with benches, a wood stove and chimney, roughly twenty minutes to come up to temperature) and an inflatable two to three person cold plunge. Straight from the tap the water sits around eleven degrees, which is ideal if you are new to contrast therapy. He times the rounds and talks you through it, so you just turn up in your kit.

How much does it cost?

Prices depend on the treatment and whether it is a one-off or a block of sessions. Message or call Steven and he will give you a straight price up front, with no obligation.

How often should I book?

Depends on your training load. Hard chargers in season often go fortnightly, most people find every three to four weeks keeps them moving well. Steven will give you an honest recommendation after the first session, no pressure either way.

Do you treat injuries?

Soft tissue work helps a huge range of aches, strains and recovery cases. Anything that needs scans, diagnosis or medical care, Steven will say so plainly and point you to the right professional rather than treat past his remit.

Do I need any equipment or space?

No. The table, tools and consumables all arrive with Steven. A clear bit of floor roughly two metres by three and he is set.

No pressure, no spam
