RECOVERY
Proper recovery not only aids in the healing of injuries but is also critical for preventing future injuries by reducing inflammation, improving circulation and minimizing soreness.
We don't just treat injuries, we prevent them.
Recovery is essential in achieving the full benefits of exercise without risking overtraining. Prescribed exercise programs are often supplemented with applicable recovery methods in order to recover faster, decrease pain, and most importantly, prevent future injuries.
Or team of massage therapists and recovery specialists coordinate with board certified physical therapists, nationally accredited trainers and Pilates instructors to ensure your program involves the appropriate recovery method at the proper frequency and dosage to help you achieve your goals.
Featured services
At each location, you can find a variety of recovery services offered, including massage therapy, cryotherapy, infrared sauna, compression therapy and more.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is an effective, soft tissue technique that promotes healing, stress reduction, improved circulation and muscle release. We offer sport, therapeutic and medical massage therapies.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a cold therapy that uses pressurized liquid nitrogen to decrease inflammation and reduce pain, among other benefits. We offer whole body cryotherapy, local cryotherapy and cryofacials.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna stimulates the lymphatic, immune and cardiovascular systems. It has been proven to help the body recover from strenuous workouts faster and can help relieve muscle soreness.
