Wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. For some, it’s about muscle recovery after a tough workout. For others, it’s a way to reclaim health after years of stress and setbacks. In Birmingham, Restore Hyper Wellness has become a hub for those prioritizing recovery, longevity, and overall well-being. Here’s how three locals have made it part of their lives.
Susan Blanchard: A Routine That Works
For self-employed Susan Blanchard, wellness is an essential part of her lifestyle. Introduced to Restore by a friend, she quickly saw results with Red Light Therapy. “I usually come in right after my workout to keep my muscles from getting too sore,” she says. “It’s also helped my rosacea—I rarely need medication anymore.” She also turns to Cryotherapy and compression for pain relief and loves Neveskin treatments. “Not only is it relaxing—it works.” But what keeps her coming back? “The people at Restore know me by name. It’s like going to a friend’s house.”
Rich Foster: Recovery as a Lifestyle
As a fitness enthusiast, Rich Foster knows recovery is just as important as exercise. After moving to Birmingham, he found Restore while searching for wellness services. “The mild hyperbaric chamber has been a game changer,” he says. “I used to get cortisone shots in my hips every few months. Now, I barely need them.” He pairs Hyperbaric Therapy with Red Light and compression for inflammation and recovery. “I work out 4–5 days a week, and Restore keeps me on track.” At 56, he’s committed to total wellness. “Take care of your body, mind, and soul—it makes all the difference.”
Melissa Roy: A Return to Health
As an office manager and mother of three, Melissa Roy has always valued wellness. A former personal trainer and long-distance runner, she found it harder to prioritize her own health while caring for her father during his cancer battle. She got back on track through the performance medicine program at Restore. “I first joined for facials and Cryo Slimming, but then I tried Red Light Therapy and IV drips,” she says. “I never thought I’d do IVs, but I feel a huge difference.” The NAD+ program even reversed early signs of fatty liver in her bloodwork. “This isn’t just weight loss—it’s about long-term health.”
