Whether you’re an athlete, an occasional gym goer, a desk-bound employee, or just someone who doesn’t engage in a lot of physical activity, body recovery is crucial. From the health of your joints to the flexibility of your muscle tissue, a lot matters in terms of the composition and function of your body.
In this article, we explore service options for “resetting” your body for those with both active and inactive lifestyles.
What Types of Compression Services Does Recovery Lab Offer?
At Recovery Lab, we offer compression service in the form of NormaTec compression therapy.
With special sleeves worn on the legs, users experience a relaxing squeezing and pulsating effect. This sensation is more than just soothing, though. It also speeds up lymphatic drainage, boosts blood flow, reduces swelling and stiffness, and can help reduce pain in tight muscle tissue.
Other Recovery Services We Offer
Apart from NormaTec compression therapy, there are other wellness services our facility provides to help reset the body.
These include:
- Cryotherapy: Extreme cold exposure for a brief moment to ease inflammation, reduce muscle pain, and improve blood circulation
- Percussion Therapy: Rapid pulsating “punches” applied to a targeted muscle to relieve tight tissue, improve blood flow, and enhance range of motion
- Cupping: A form of therapy involving suctioning cups onto the skin (usually the back) to improve lymphatic drainage, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain
- Red light therapy: Exposure to certain wavelengths of light for muscle recovery, skin health, and anti-inflammation benefits
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: Involves lying in a pressurized chamber filled with concentrated levels of oxygen to promote faster healing of tissues, ease inflammation, and reduce muscle fatigue or soreness
The wellness therapy best for you depends on your goals, budget, and even how long a session you’re looking for. Cryotherapy sessions, for instance, last a few minutes while red light therapy sessions are closer to a half-hour long.
The Importance of Resetting the Body
Helping the body rest and recover in the right ways is critical.
Not only does a body reset aid with the physical recovery of the body in terms of enhanced circulation, reduced pain, and quicker healing, but it can also have a positive impact on one’s nervous system, energy, sleep levels, and cognitive function.
Putting the body through constant overdrive without ample recovery, on the other hand, can set you up for an increased risk of injury, decreased mental and physical performance, and chronic fatigue.
