Medical-Grade Recovery
For Athletes.
Maddog Performance Institute has built the only comprehensive sports recovery suite in Ballito — combining the world-champion MMA expertise of Amanda "Maddog" Lino with the clinical expertise of Amanda "Wren" Kobus, our in-house Registered Nurse Practitioner and Professional Strength Athlete. Every protocol is practitioner-supervised. Every modality is evidence-based.
This is not a wellness trend. This is medical-grade recovery for athletes, professionals, and anyone who takes their performance seriously. Two professional athletes. Two disciplines. One facility built to elevate your performance.
Maddog Performance Institute is proud to offer one of the only IV Drip Therapy services available in Ballito within a licensed sports performance and medically supervised environment. All treatments, recovery protocols, and wellness interventions are implemented within a professional healthcare framework — focused on athlete safety, performance optimisation, and evidence-based care.
IV Drip
Therapy.
Intravenous nutrient therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption. Used by elite athletes worldwide to accelerate recovery, combat fatigue, support immune function, and optimise performance.
- 100% bioavailability — direct bloodstream delivery
- Accelerates post-training and post-competition recovery
- Combats fatigue, supports immune function
- Customised protocols based on individual needs
- All sessions supervised by registered nurse practitioner
Infrared
Sauna.
Infrared sauna penetrates deeper into muscle tissue than traditional steam sauna, accelerating metabolic waste removal and reducing inflammation. An essential tool for sports recovery on the North Coast of KZN.
- Deeper muscle penetration than traditional steam sauna
- Reduces DOMS — delayed onset muscle soreness
- Accelerates metabolic waste removal
- Improves cardiovascular function and sleep quality
- Supports detoxification and skin health
Cold Plunge
Ice Bath.
Cold water immersion reduces acute inflammation, accelerates muscle repair, and improves circulation through vasoconstriction and vasodilation cycles. The cold plunge at Maddog is not a wellness trend. It is a training tool.
- Reduces acute inflammation post-training
- Accelerates muscle repair through vascular cycling
- Triggers norepinephrine release — mood and focus
- Builds mental resilience and cold tolerance
- Can be combined with sauna for contrast therapy

Clinic.
