Performance starts with recovery

In sport, the same foundations that support everyday wellbeing — sleep, recovery, nervous system balance and sustainable structure — also support athletic performance and resilience.

TOP approaches sport performance through the HEOM framework: systems over extremes, with a strong focus on long-term consistency.

Key focus areas

Injury prevention

Mobility, tissue health, load management and recovery strategies that help reduce overuse and prevent avoidable setbacks.

Return to performance

A calm, step-by-step approach to rebuilding confidence, strength and resilience after injury — without rushing.

Mental performance

Focus, self-confidence and nervous system regulation — critical factors for consistent performance under pressure.

Cupping as a supportive technique

Cupping therapy can be applied within TOP as a supportive technique to help tissue mobility, circulation and recovery. It is always integrated within a broader performance and recovery framework, and not used as a standalone solution.
