The man behind Stronghold
Meet Steven.
Stronghold Recovery is one person: Steven Mills. A sports massage and recovery therapist who got tired of watching people train hard and recover badly, so he built a service that brings proper treatment to your door.
My story
Why I started Stronghold
Before any of this, I served. I spent years as a soldier on operations, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that taught me everything I needed to know about what the body and mind can take. [CONFIRM with Steven: exact service wording, operations and years.] It also taught me the cost of pushing hard with nothing behind you. Recovery is not soft. It is the thing that keeps you in the fight.
Sport has always run alongside that. I am an Ironman athlete and I still train and compete in endurance and functional fitness, so I know exactly how it feels to work through tired legs, stiff joints and the pressure of getting back to your best. I do not treat recovery as an extra. I treat it as part of the work.
That is why I built Stronghold. I kept seeing people give everything to their training and almost nothing to recovery, then wonder why the same niggles kept coming back. I went mobile on purpose. No clinic, no waiting room, no driving across town stiff after a session. I bring the table, the tools and the full setup to your home, your gym or your event, so the only thing you have to do is lie down and let the work happen.
Away from the table I am a dad and a family man, and I help run a local men's group built around fitness, support and good company. [CONFIRM the men's group details with Steven.] It is the same belief that runs through everything I do, that people are at their best when they look after themselves and each other.
Whoever you are, whatever you train for, you get the same thing from me: a straight assessment, proper treatment and an honest plan. No upsell, no pressure, just the work that gets you back to your best.
