Work Hard.
Recover Right.
Perform for Life.
Recover Right is Adelaide’s home for recovery, movement and performance — built from elite sport, open to everyone.
Recover Right began with one simple belief:
“If I don’t Recover Right, I have no chance of performing better tomorrow.”
Founder Colin Varacalli heard these words while working with an elite athlete through Cycling Australia. They captured something Colin had witnessed throughout his career: recovery isn’t an afterthought—it is essential to performing at your best.
That belief became Recover Right.
Colin holds a Bachelor of Human Movement and a Diploma of Remedial Massage, supported by more than 17 years of experience working around elite sport. That background shapes everything we do: hands-on clinical care, movement and conditioning, leading recovery technology, and a genuine commitment to helping people feel better and perform for life.
Whether you come to us with pain, a performance goal, or simply want to feel better in your body, you’ll be welcomed and looked after like family.
We first opened in Maylands, South Australia, with a clear purpose: to bring the recovery, treatment and performance support used in elite sport under one roof.
The Maylands property was compulsorily acquired by the State Government, leaving us without a permanent home. Several years of searching followed.
We purchased Elevated Massage at Shop 1, 20 Canterbury Drive — intended as temporary, but the community embraced us and the vision kept growing.
We renamed Elevated Massage to Recover Right, and expanded into Shop 2 later that year.
We secured Shop 3. We had found our new home.
Work Hard. Recover Right. Perform for Life.
