Our healthcare experts at Holistic Health, SBS have a wide ranging experience in providing modern sports and exercise therapies. We combine sports psychology, nutrition and recovery focus interventions so that you can be at peak performance  when training and competing.

Sports psychology is a specialized field that applies psychological principles to enhance athletic performance, well-being, and personal development. It focuses on understanding how mental and emotional factors influence sports performance and how participation in sports affects psychological health.

We work with athletes of all levels, from amateur to elite, addressing areas such as motivation, focus, confidence, and stress management. Key techniques include goal setting, visualization, relaxation training, and self-talk strategies to optimize performance. We will also help athletes recover from injuries, overcome performance slumps, and manage the pressures of competition.

Beyond individual performance, sports psychology explores team dynamics, communication, and leadership to improve group cohesion and functioning. It also addresses broader issues like balancing sports with life demands, handling setbacks, and transitioning out of athletic careers.

This doesn’t mean this service is limited to competitive athletes; it benefits anyone involved in physical activity, including coaches, trainers, and individuals pursuing fitness goals. By promoting mental resilience, emotional regulation, and a positive mindset, sports psychology empowers individuals to perform at their best, both in sports and other aspects of life. Ultimately, it bridges the gap between physical and mental readiness, fostering holistic development and peak performance.

Sports nutrition is a specialized field focused on optimizing an athlete’s dietary intake to enhance physical performance, recovery, and overall health. It combines principles of nutrition and exercise science to meet the unique demands of athletic activities, ensuring athletes achieve their goals while maintaining energy and nutrient balance.

The primary objectives of sports nutrition are to support energy needs, promote muscle repair, and facilitate recovery. This involves tailoring macronutrient intake—carbohydrates for energy, proteins for muscle repair and growth, and fats for sustained performance. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are equally important for energy metabolism, immunity, and overall well-being.

Hydration is a critical component, as fluid balance directly impacts endurance, thermoregulation, and concentration. Sports nutrition also addresses pre- and post-exercise nutrition (also called Chrono-nutrition), emphasizing timing and composition to optimize performance and recovery.

Our diet plans are individualized, taking into account the type of sport, training intensity, body composition goals, and personal preferences. Additionally, supplements like protein powders, electrolytes, or creatine may be incorporated when appropriate. However, we aim to promote nutrition from food first and supplements as a secondary source of nutrition.

We don’t just focus on professional athletes with our sports nutrition; it benefits anyone engaging in physical activity by enhancing stamina, reducing injury risk, and improving recovery. Ultimately, it integrates science and strategy to empower everyone to perform at their full potential.
