Recovery

Our methodology emphasizes recovery as an active, daily process.

We are intentional about selecting methods for recovery, just as we are intentional about selecting methods for stress. We individualize our recovery protocols specific to each athlete and their needs. This allows our athletes to train at the highest levels and promotes optimal adaptations from training.

dry sauna

Our Finnelo traditional Dry Sauna reaches a temperature of 194 degrees fahrenheit and has numerous benefits. These benefits include:

  • Enhancing athletic performance by increasing plasma volume, red blood cell count, lactate threshold and our ability to thermoregulate
  • Enhancing muscle hypertrophy by releasing heat shock proteins and growth hormone 
  • Enhancing detoxification of toxins by increasing your core body temperature and inducing sweating
  • Enhances recovery from injury by releasing beta-endorphins that reduces pain

cold tub

Whole body submersion in cold water (42 degrees) in our Icepod Plus can reduce core body temperature sufficiently and induce a powerful cold stress response. Cold stress elicits vasoconstriction, temporarily reducing blood flow to submerged, peripheral tissues, resulting in increased peripheral blood flow after normal body temperature is restored. 

These benefits include:

  • Decreases in inflammation
  • Increase in norepinephrine
  • Increases in Cold Shock Proteins 
  • Stimulates a reset of the Autonomic Nervous System

The cold tub can also be used in tandem with the sauna, termed “contrast therapy”, to increase the cold and heat stress responses associated with cold and heat therapies.

Normatec Compression Boots

The Normatec compression boots combine dynamic air compression with a pulse massage pattern that mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms.

These benefits of compression include:

  • Promotes lymphatic flushing
  • Reducing swelling and inflammation
  • Enhancing blood flow and speeding up the recovery process
