As the Rugby Six Nations tournament unfolds, bringing with it the electrifying atmosphere and fierce competition that rugby fans eagerly anticipate each year, it's an opportune moment to spotlight a less discussed but equally vital aspect of sports—recovery.
StrideOn, a leading provider of knee walkers, has been instrumental in the rehabilitation journeys of numerous athletes, including high-profile rugby players who have faced the daunting challenge of recovery. Among them are England's fly-half George Ford, members of the Gloucester Rugby Team, and the influential rugby enthusiast, Jarryd Harris, known as The Rugby Guy on social media platforms. Our knee walker rental option is ideal in this situation with that all important flexibility of length of hire, no hassle of what to do with it when they are finished, and of course the Strideon Team support while using it.
