Recovery
Ice Baths
How the Ice Bath Can Help You Recover
Hydrostatic pressure created by the body’s immersion in water can:
- Promote faster re-oxygenation of fatigued muscles, by improving cardiac output
- Help remove waste products from muscles
- Assist in reducing swelling
Icy temperature, which is akin to the use of ice packs placed on injuries, is associated with:
- The constriction of blood vessels leading to increased toxin-flush out, and subsequent rush of nutrient-rich blood back in to injured and fatigued muscles
- Reduction in intensity and/or longevity of inflammation
- Lowering of core temperature
Massage Guns
What is Massage Gun Therapy?
Massage Gun Therapy is a form of deep muscle treatment similar to foam rolling or a massage. It allows for an increase in joint mobility and reduced tension in the muscle through myofascial release.
Rapid Reboot Compression Boots
What does it do?
Using pneumatic (air) compression, the pump pressurises the different chambers in the boots at different intervals over multiple cycles. In medical and athletic research, this type of compression is referred to by a variety of names, including “intermittent,” “external dynamic,” and “sequential” pneumatic compression.
Benefits:
- Improves blood circulation
- Increases range of motion
- Helps to prevent delayed onset of muscle soreness
Infrared Sauna
This sauna delivers a consistent, comfortable and beneficial sauna experience. Solocarbon™ heating is the safest and most effective heating system on the market. Infrared saunas are an effective tool for natural healing and prevention of chronic illness to enable people to live healthier lives. Why? Because infrared light has the ability to penetrate our bodies at a cellular level to produce a range of health benefits.
To deliver health benefits, infrared saunas need to emit high concentrations of infrared waves that penetrate the body to work at a cellular level. Infrared heats the body directly rather than simply warming the air. Excessive heat is not recommended nor required to deliver health benefits via infrared technology. For optimal health benefits, the most important element is emissivity. High emissivity produces high infrared which is why Sunlighten™ saunas, at an emissivity rating of 95% and 99%, ensure you enjoy the optimum benefits of Infrared. Without high emissivity, you will only get a fraction of infrared versus heat. Put simply, a Sunlighten™ sauna provides superior penetration of infrared into your body ensuring you enjoy the optimum benefits of infrared.
Compex Muscle Stimulators
The compex muscle stims are a great addition to all athletes programs. Offering performance, rehabilitation and training recovery benefits the muscle stimulation allows for all muscles to work at their maximum potential for both training and game days. The automatic muscle contractions that the muscle stims illicit, allow for a longer, more forceful muscle activation, to help produce more power and reduce injuries in any chosen muscle.
