Katherine’s Non-Negotiable: Real Recovery for a Real Athlete

Katherine’s Non-Negotiable: Real Recovery for a Real Athlete

Aug 04, 2025

Katherine Fleming is a powerhouse. At 52, she trains up to six times a week — running, CrossFit, and chasing her goals. A seasoned New Yorker, she juggles marketing work, motherhood, and a fitness schedule that would impress most 25-year-olds.

But even athletes like Katherine know that strength doesn’t just come from pushing forward. It comes from knowing when to slow down — and recover right.

“My hips and glutes were always the sore spots. Foam rolling helped, but I never quite got the relief I needed after long runs.”

That changed with Flowell. Katherine first discovered Flowell through a friend and was instantly intrigued by the promise: compression therapy that doesn’t stop at the calves — but treats your entire leg chain, from foot to hip.

“It feels like it’s tightening and massaging at the same time. My glutes and hips get this deep release that nothing else reaches.”

Katherine admits the pants are a bit tricky to get into, especially post-workout when you're tired. But her verdict?

“Honestly, I can live with it. It works. I feel it in the exact places I need it. I use it on the couch in the evenings — and it’s become part of my rhythm.”

For women over 50 who are still striving, still pushing, and still active — Katherine proves that real strength includes recovery. Flowell isn’t just a post-workout tool. It’s a signal to your body that you care about how it feels tomorrow — not just today.

Because real athletes don’t just go hard. They recover smart.
