About us

Charlotte natives. Division I athletes.

We both grew up in Charlotte and went on to play Division I football. Now we bring what we learned about recovery back home.

Elijah Small

Owner & Recovery Specialist

Elijah played Division I football at Southern University A&M from 2016 to 2020 while earning a B.S. in Rehabilitation. Working through his own football injuries taught him how to heal himself, and working at a cryotherapy center in Atlanta deepened his knowledge of recovery technology.

John Brannon III

Recovery Specialist

John played Division I football at Western Carolina and spent several years in the NFL and XFL. He knows what it takes to keep a body performing at a high level, and how to recover the right way.
