Today we’d like to introduce you to Bobby Thrush-Louis.
Hi Bobby, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hello everyone, I am Dr. Bobby Thrush, founder of RECVR Sports Medicine Lounge. My journey started when I was a young, aspiring athlete with a passion for basketball. I had the opportunity to play collegiate basketball, which provided me with invaluable experiences and discipline that continue to shape my life today.
After completing my undergraduate studies in Exercise Science and Aging Science, I went on to pursue a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, which I completed in 2021. The combination of my academic background and athletic experience inspired me to create an accessible wellness and recovery center for athletes and non-athletes alike.
RECVR Sports Medicine Lounge was born from my desire to bridge the gap between conventional sports medicine and wellness practices. I wanted to create a space where individuals could have access to comprehensive well-care that addresses not only their physical health but also their mental and emotional well-being. RECVR aims to redefine the sports medicine experience by providing personalized, holistic care to people of all ages and fitness levels.
Over the years, RECVR has grown into a thriving community of health professionals, athletes, and wellness enthusiasts who share a common vision of making health and well-being accessible to all. We pride ourselves on offering innovative, evidence-based treatments and therapies that support recovery and enhance performance. Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to ensuring that each client receives the personalized care they need to reach their health and fitness goals.
As the founder of RECVR, I am incredibly proud of our achievements and the positive impact we have made on countless lives. Our success can be attributed to our unwavering commitment to providing top-quality care and fostering an inclusive, supportive environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
In the years to come, we hope to expand our reach and continue breaking down barriers to WellCare accessibility. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for health and wellness with others, and I look forward to seeing the growth and progress of the RECVR Sports Medicine Lounge in the future.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we can transform the landscape of sports medicine and well-care for the betterment of all.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey to establish RECVR Sports Medicine Lounge has been filled with challenges, as is often the case with entrepreneurial ventures. However, our dedication to making good care accessible for all has kept us focused and motivated.
One significant obstacle we faced was assembling a team of highly skilled professionals who not only possessed the necessary qualifications but also shared our commitment to inclusivity and client-centered care. Although it was a lengthy process, we successfully built a team that truly represented our vision and mission.
Marketing our services also proved to be a challenge. We needed to strike the right balance between targeting athletes who would benefit from our specialized treatments and therapies, while also reaching out to the broader community to ensure true accessibility. Over time, we crafted a targeted marketing strategy that enabled us to connect with a wide range of individuals seeking well-care solutions.
Despite these hurdles, our persistence has paid off, and we continue to learn from our experiences. The struggles we’ve faced have only made us more resilient and determined to carry out our mission of providing accessible good care for all.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

At RECVR, we offer a variety of innovative and evidence-based treatments and therapies, including:
1. IV therapy: Our customized IV infusions deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream to support optimal hydration, recovery, and overall health.
2. Hyperbaric chamber: This therapy uses increased atmospheric pressure to allow the body to absorb more oxygen, promoting healing and recovery and improving various physiological functions.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Finding a mentor and networking effectively are crucial to personal and professional growth. Here are some tips that have worked well for me:
1. Be proactive and intentional: Approach networking with a clear goal in mind. Think about what kind of mentor or connections you’re seeking and why. This will help you identify the right opportunities and people to connect with.
2. Attend industry events and conferences: These gatherings offer excellent opportunities to meet like-minded professionals and potential mentors. Make an effort to attend events relevant to your field, and don’t be shy about engaging in conversations and exchanging contact information.
3. Leverage social media and professional networks: Platforms like LinkedIn and industry-specific forums can be invaluable for connecting with people in your field. Follow influencers, engage in conversations, and participate in relevant groups to broaden your network.
4. Reach out to your existing connections: Your friends, colleagues, and acquaintances can often introduce you to new contacts or mentors. Let them know what you’re looking for and ask if they know someone who could help or provide guidance.
5. Offer value: When approaching potential mentors or connections, show genuine interest in their work and express how their expertise could help you. Be willing to offer your skills or assistance in return, creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
6. Foster relationships: Networking is about building long-term, meaningful relationships. Invest time and effort in maintaining your connections. Regularly engage with your contacts, share updates, and offer help when needed.
7. Be open-minded: Sometimes, valuable connections or mentors come from unexpected places. Keep an open mind and be willing to learn from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
8. Practice active listening: When networking or talking to a mentor, be an active listener. Ask thoughtful questions, show genuine interest, and take notes to demonstrate your engagement and commitment to learning.
9. Be patient and persistent: Building a robust network and finding the right mentor takes time. Be patient, stay committed, and don’t get discouraged if things don’t happen overnight.
10. Express gratitude: Always thank people for their time and advice, and make sure to follow up with updates on how their guidance has helped you. Showing appreciation goes a long way in building lasting connections.
By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to finding a mentor and expanding your professional network.
