Mission
To be a trusted recovery partner for athletes by providing personalised care, attention to detail and genuine support throughout their journey.
I want to be part of the big picture.
Pro-Covery was born from my passion for bodybuilding, recovery and helping athletes become the very best version of themselves.
Sylvana de Roo — founder
Founder story
My journey started with two passions: bodybuilding and the love for helping people.
Before Pro-Covery, I worked as a connective tissue therapist while working on my own journey as a competitive athlete. As my experience in bodybuilding grew, so did my fascination with recovery and its impact on performance and on mental health.
A lot changed when I discovered that Bruno BFX Therapy gave a course in Germany. There, for the first time, I saw a way to combine my professional knowledge with the sport I love most. It became clear that I didn’t just want to treat people — I wanted to support athletes throughout their entire journey.
What makes me happiest isn’t simply providing a treatment. It’s being part of an athlete’s preparation. Helping them recover, improve, feel confident, and step on stage knowing they have someone in their corner.
Today, I continue to build Pro-Covery with one goal in mind: creating an environment where athletes feel supported, understood and prepared to perform at their very best.

My purpose
I never set out to simply provide treatments.
My goal has never been to simply provide treatments. I want to become a trusted part of an athlete’s journey — someone who helps them feel prepared, confident and cared for, both physically and mentally.
I believe the best results come from collaboration. By working alongside athletes, coaches and other specialists, I can contribute to something bigger than myself.
- Every treatment is personal.
- Every athlete is valued.
- Every detail matters.
Vision
To become one of the most trusted recovery partners in the bodybuilding community by building meaningful collaborations with athletes, coaches and gyms, and continuously raising the standard of athlete recovery.
Core values
The values that shape every treatment.
Every decision and every relationship within Pro-Covery comes back to these five.
- 01
Trust
Trust is the foundation of every athlete relationship.
I believe athletes perform at their best when they feel safe, heard and understood. Building trust means being honest, reliable and always acting in the athlete’s best interest.
- 02
Connection
Recovery is personal, and so is every athlete.
I value genuine relationships and believe that connection goes beyond the treatment table. Every athlete deserves to feel seen, supported and part of something bigger.
- 03
Care
Every treatment is delivered with genuine care and intention.
Care means looking beyond physical recovery. It means supporting athletes mentally, listening to their needs and creating an environment where they can truly relax and recover.
- 04
Attention to detail
Precision makes the difference.
Every athlete is different, which is why every treatment is tailored to their needs. From recovery to posing, I believe the smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference.
- 05
Equality
Every athlete deserves the same level of care.
Whether someone is stepping on stage for the first time or competing as a professional, everyone deserves to feel respected, supported and valued.

Part of the journey
How Pro-Covery works with your coach.
Pro-Covery does not write your training or your nutrition, and does not replace the plan you are already on. Treatments during prep and peak week are adapted around your competition schedule and your coach's instructions.
If your coach has specific requirements for the final week — what to avoid, how much pressure, when to stop — bring them. They shape the session.
