Joovvin’ with Sanne Wevers, Gold Medal Gymnast 1

In this special guest post written by Dutch gymnast Sanne Wevers, the world’s reigning gold medalist in women’s balance beam.

In 2016 in Brazil, I achieved a lifelong dream and won the gold medal on balance beam. I couldn’t stop shaking! That amazing day was the result of intense training, 10+ years of international competition, and overcoming a lot of injuries along the way. I hope to be in Tokyo in 2020 to defend my gold medal. To help me get there and stay healthy, I’ve been using my Joovv light therapy device every day, and I’ll share with you why it’s become a key part of my training and recovery routine. I couldn’t stop shaking! That amazing day was the result of intense training, 10+ years of international competition, and overcoming a lot of injuries along the way.

Pain & Strain Relief with Red Light

Gymnastics is a very demanding sport that pushes all your physical limits. Like all gymnasts, I’ve had my share of injuries over my career. My back has always been one of my biggest concerns and it’s taken me years to get the pain under control so I can train at an elite level.

Nothing has been as effective as using my Joovv. When I shine red light on my back for 10-15 minutes a day, I can clearly tell that my post-training recovery is faster and the pain is less noticeable. That means I can do higher intensity sessions on the balance beam and uneven bars. In 2016 in Brazil, I achieved a lifelong dream and won the gold medal on balance beam. I couldn’t stop shaking!
