"real recovery for real blokes"
Infrared mat + Movement = the performance protocol
how it works
BUILt for aussie tradies to recover smarter
ease chronic pain
faster muscle recovery
relax after long shift
plug it in. lie down. switch off
how does it work?
Far infrared heat - Penetrates deep into sore muscles melting knots after long shifts
PEMF pulses - That recharge your body at the cellular level
Crystal Layers - Boost blood flow + recovery to reduce stiffness
Helps you sleep better - By calming your nervous system
Tradie Tested - Built for tough recovery, not pampering
why tradies should care
sore every day but ignoring it because "that's the job"
living off nurofen or voltaren just to get through the week
back, knees, shoulders always tight
lying awake at night because your body won't settle
never fully recovered, even after a weekend off
onsite demo of the recovery mat
the steel cap protocol
"Built on powerful bodyweight movements from the elite system of ZUU - but stripped back and rebuilt for the working bloke."
What the protocol can do for you
improve mobility - so you can work easier and move better
reduces joint pain - in knees, hips, shoulders and back
build real-world strength without needing a gym
prevents injuries caused by repetitive work and poor posture
increases cardio strength to get rid of unwanted bodyfat
how it works
heat up - Lie on the infrared mat to unlock your body
Move right - do simple, hard-hitting drills to restore power
get back - get back to work feeling stronger, looser, and more in control
"10-15 minutes a day. That's it. No gym. No fluff."
"performance recovery-no bs."
Our recovery mat is for tradies who don't care about buzzwords-they care about feeling better.

what's in the mat and why it matters
Deep Heat You Can Feel
This isn't your missus' wheat bag. The mat uses infrared heat technology, which sinks deep into your muscles - not just the surface - to loosen tight spots and ease aches from long days on the tools.
Natural Crystals = Natural Charge
Inside the mat are amethyst crystals that help generate the heat and give off
negative ions.
What's that mean for you?
It helps the body relax and recharge, especially after bending, lifting, and having to be in awkward positions all day.
PEMF - the Hidden Power Tool
Think PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) like jumper leads for your cells. It works in the background to boost recovery, reduce inflammation, and help your body repair faster - so you're not dragging yourself out of bed every morning.

Built for blokes who work hard
"I'm Nathan Helberg, founder of Steel Cap Recovery and creator of ZUU bodyweight training, which is the "engine under the hood" of the Steel Cap Performance Protocol.
I know exactly what the wear and tear of repetitive heavy work feels like: the aching joints, the stiff back, the soreness that just doesn't go away.
When I created ZUU, it was built to fix the mobility, strength, and recovery issues I saw (and felt) in the real world - not just in gyms. And now, with Steel Cap Recovery, I'm bringing that same mindset straight back to the blokes who need it most.
That's why I started Steel Cap Recovery - gear built for real recovery after real work.
When you buy from Steel Cap Recovery, you'll see my name - Nathan Helberg - on your invoice. That's because I stand personally behind everything we sell.
Quality matters. Your recovery matters. And no one understands that better than a bloke who's lived it. Thanks for trusting us with your recovery. Let's get you back to your best."
How it works
Step 1: Deep heat hits you fast
Far infrared waves soak deep into your muscles and joints - way deeper than a normal heat pack - loosening up tight spots and kicking blood flow into high gear.
Step 2: magnetic fields switch on recovery
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) fire up your body's natural repair systems - reducing pain, inflammation, speeding up healing, and giving your body the green light to recharge properly.
Step 3: Recharge like your power tools
After 20-30 mins lying on your Steel Cap Recovery mat, you're left feeling loose, recharged, and ready to tackle the next day - without all the usual stiffness and soreness.

"Built Tough to fix that body
that builds"
"I had no idea products like this was out there for us tradies. I've spent a small fortune on chiro's and physio's over the years. Now I get home, turn on my Steel Cap Recovery mat and literally feel my tense muscle relax. It's been a game-changer for me." -I Peterson
"Deep Heat That Hits Where Your Hands Can't"
"My mate recommended Steel Cap Recovery mat to me on a job we worked together. I was skeptical for sure. Then I had a go on his and that changed everything. I do long hours like most of us on-site but getting home and feeling that heat relax my lower back is incredible."
-H Grenshield
"Tradie Recovery Made
Bloody Simple"
"The whole recovery space is overwhelming. Gadgets for everything, plugged into technology. What I love about my mat is it's simple to use. I turn it on when I get home. I just lay back to some music and feel it clam my muscles down."
- M Thomas
"switch off the pain,
switch on the mat."
"I've always worked long hours, the job demands it. My body's had a few niggles over the last few years but thats progressed to daily aches and pain now. Most days I'm taking a pain killer to get through. Laying on a hot mat and feeling those electric pulses recharges me different to a massage or physio session, plus I can do it from home or take it with me when we work away. Great investment."
