Dr. Philip Lübke as a Guest on The Rest Day: Recovery from Elite Sports
Magdalena Bürk
Recovery is not a bonus. It's a must.
Dr. Philip Lübke is a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery in Kiel, team doctor for THW Kiel, and since the 2024 Paris Olympics, doctor for the German national handball team.
He takes care of athletes who have to perform under extreme pressure. Multiple matches per week, tight tournament schedules, and little time between exertions. For him, it's clear: Anyone who wants to play at the highest level must be as committed to recovery as they are to training.
Reboots in Professional Sports
Dr. Philip Lübke has been relying on Reboots for years, both in his own practice in Kiel and with the national team at major tournaments. For him, compression massage naturally complements physiotherapy measures and integrates flexibly into athletes' daily routines.
What convinced him was not theory. It was practice. The players noticed the difference. And so did he.

What he thinks about Recovery
For Dr. Philip Lübke, effective Recovery starts with a core belief: Recovery must be planned, not left to chance. Those who see regeneration as an integral part of their training plan gain a long-term advantage, both physically and mentally.
This applies to professional handball players as well as ambitious recreational athletes.
