At Rech Physio, we’re all about helping you Move Better. Live Stronger. As physical therapists, our goal is to support not just recovery, but your long-term performance and wellness. One underappreciated tool in our toolbox? Creatine monohydrate.


đź’Ş 1. Strength & Power

Creatine helps regenerate ATP—the rapid-fire energy molecules your muscles need during high‑intensity efforts. This translates to:

  • More reps, more force, and more training volume

  • Better improvements in lean muscle mass and explosive strength


🦴 2. Bone Health

Beyond muscles, creatine also supports bone integrity. Studies show it:

  • Improves bone quality and most likely bone mineral density

  • Enhances markers tied to bone strength—perfect for aging adults foundmyfitness.com


đź§  3. Cognition & Brain Energy

Your brain is a major energy sink—and creatine feeds it:

  • Boosts brain ATP, sharpening memory and clarity

  • Supports cognitive resilience during stress, ageing, or sleep deprivation

âś… Dosing Tips (Based on Cutting-Edge Research)
