RECOVERY
Normatec Boots
NormaTec Recovery Systems are dynamic compression devices designed specifically to enhance blood flow and drive higher volumes of healthy, oxygen-rich blood to your muscles, significantly speeding up recovery and rehabilitation. The pressurized compartments in the boots surround the entire limb and will compress in a pulsing manner and then release, gradually working up the limb. Kick back and relax with one of the best tools for optimizing recovery and performance.
Hyperice Recovery Tools
Discover the power of a consistent recovery routine with Hyperice. Relieve tension, unlock sore muscles, and prime your body to be at its best. The Hypervolt is a hand-held device that delivers strong vibration, oscillation, and percussion to the muscles. It increases circulation and reduces muscle tightness/soreness by signaling inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system.
The Vyper is powerful vibrating fitness roller that aids in warm up, muscle activation, and faster, more effective recovery than other foam rollers.
We also offer heat/vibration and ice/compression devices from Hyperice. The Venom is a wearable back device that uses heat and vibration massage to warm up, loosen, and relax sore muscles in the low back. Hyperice ICT is a wearable cryotherapy device utilizing a neoprene compression sleeve with an ice cell for an optimal “ice cast” treatment. Try all of our available devices including venom leg, venom shoulder, and ICT back, ICT shoulder, ICT leg, and ICT utility (ankle, shin, elbow).
Try mixing and matching our compression, percussion, vibration, and heat/cold devices for the ultimate, pain-relieving recovery experience. Typical treatment protocols are 30-45 minute sessions starting with 2-4 treatments per week, depending on goals and activity level.
NuCalm
While some stress is normal and healthy, too much stress for too long can negatively affect your physical and mental wellbeing. From now on, stress is a choice. With the advanced technology of NuCalm®, you can go from stress to relaxation in minutes, with out fail. In today’s fast-paced society, we all to often are stuck in sympathetic (fight or flight) division of our nervous system. When not in life threatening situations, particularly when at rest, we want our parasympathetic (rest and digest) division to be more active. NuCalm’s neuroacoustic software gently guides your brainwaves, creating a bridge from high stress/anxiety states to mental states that nurture rest, recovery, and rejuvenation. NuCalm is the world’s only patented neuroscience technology clinically proven to lower stress and improve sleep quality without drugs or side effects. It disables stress at its source—within the midbrain—safely and reliably interrupting adrenaline and cortisol release by mimicking what naturally occurs right before sleep. This allows the body to naturally and rapidly go into parasympathetic dominance, activating the half of the autonomic nervous system that is engaged in recovery, repair, regeneration and relaxation. Achieving and maintaining a healthy parasympathetic state is essential for healing on both the physical and mental-emotional levels
NuCalm is a wellness experience where the results are cumulative. Just as in dieting or exercise regimens, the more you stick with it, the better your results. While you will feel very relaxed after just your first session, it will take a few sessions for your body and nervous system to begin changing and reaping the benefits of NuCalm. For best results, beginning with 70-minute sessions at 3-5 sessions per week is recommended.

Benefits of Parasympathetic Dominance
Far Infrared Sauna
Infrared waves are a type of energy that is invisible to the human eye, but are experienced as heat. Unlike a traditional sauna, far infrared saunas heat your body directly without significantly warming the air around you. Far infrared wavelengths penetrate the deepest, reaching muscles and soft tissue for the ultimate therapeutic heating power and recovery. An infrared sauna gives these results at lower temperatures than does a regular sauna, bringing many health benefits, both mentally and physically.
Infrared sauna benefits may include detoxification, pain relief, muscle relaxation, improved circulation, decreased inflammation, cellular regeneration and anti-aging, weight loss, stress relief, and improved sleep quality. Sessions are typically 25-45 minutes and can vary from a couple times a month to daily, depending on your needs and goals.
Rocktape IASTM
Part of the Rocktape family, IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a manual therapy approach to musculoskeletal injuries that involves rubbing a beveled metal instrument over the skin. This cutting-edge manual therapy focuses on the nervous system and the superficial layers of tissue (fascia) through a gentle, yet firm glide of a metal instrument over the affected area. The goal of this therapy is relaxing the overactive tissues by down-regulating the nervous system, or stimulating the nervous system for improved activation in underactive tissues. It aids in breaking up abnormal densities in tissues and promotes the healing response to improve recovery time. The treatment is a non-invasive and often produces immediate results with little to no discomfort.
CUPPING
Another part of the Rocktape family, Rockpods are silicone cups that are ideal for dynamic cupping. Cupping is an ancient alternative therapy technique involving suctioning of the skin with a cup. Cupping is used to help with pain, inflammation, tight muscles and fascia, and increasing blood flow to an area. Dynamic cupping allows the therapist to create more space between the skin, muscle, and fascia by gently moving the cups, or by the client moving their body while the cups are in place. This decompresses the tissues, restores fluid and nutrients, and improves the slide and glide of soft tissue to treat mobility and movement dysfunctions.
The beauty of these tools is that we are working with the brain (nervous system), nerves, and fascia, not just muscle. They are the perfect therapeutic addition to your monthly massage or to your weekly fitness routine.
IASTM and cupping assists with:
◊ Increasing range of motion
◊ Increasing tissue glide
◊ Improving posture
◊ Decreasing pain and tightness
◊ Improving proprioception
◊ Improving overall function

Celluma Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy (low-level light therapy, LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses light to deliver specific, proven wavelengths of red, blue, and near infrared light through the skin. The absorbed light energy enhances cellular performance stimulating a natural response in human tissue that can promote self-repair and rejuvenation—just as nature intended. Red light therapy is clinically proven and can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, ease muscle pain, relieve joint stiffness, improve recovery time, support natural inflammation reduction, and enhance overall cell performance on a microscopic level.
