Compression Therapy
Speed up recovery time with RecoveryPump compression therapy equipment. Stimulating the blood flow to and from the extremities, compression therapy aids in eliminating metabolic waste from the circulatory system.
At Peak Recovery & Health Center, our compression therapy increases circulatory return, rapidly accelerating the body’s reabsorption of elements causing soreness and fatigue within the muscle. This therapy also effectively removes metabolic waste faster than other traditional modes of recovery or rest.
As the go-to choice of elite athletes and those looking to reduce inflammation while increasing blood circulation, sit back and relax while we help your body recover faster.
Benefits
- Reduced inflammation
- Waste is flushed naturally from the cells
- Expedited recovery times
- Increased flexibility and range of motion
FAQs
Active sequential compression like the RecoveryPump increases venous return, rapidly accelerating the body’s reabsorption of the elements causing soreness and fatigue in the muscle. Specific levels of compression increase circulation at all levels of the venous system – Deep Veins, Saphenous Veins, Superficial and Perforator Veins – effectively removing metabolic waste faster than any traditional mode of recovery or rest alone. Speed up your body’s own natural means of recovery and quickly climb back to your peak performance levels with the proven technology that addresses muscle pain at its source.
A massaging action squeezes 8 to 4 air-filled chambers, starting from the foot and systematically filling to the last chamber at the hip. The RecoveryPants and Jacket deflate after approximately 30 seconds, allowing blood to flow freely. This cycle repeats itself for the duration of use, forcing the body to evacuate the metabolic waste causing fatigue and soreness in the muscle.
Massage, Ice baths, and the RecoveryPump System achieve very different outcomes. Massage is primarily a therapy to work a muscle group, to elongate the muscle, force fluid from it, to relax or release the muscle and/or relieve spasm. Ice baths primarily provide a huge inflow to blood into the area along with significant muscle contraction. For injury, this is desirable so as to slow inflammation from occurring. For muscle recovery from daily training, ice slows down the process because of constricting the vessels. The RecoveryPump System treats the soreness and fatigue in the muscle systemically. What that means is we are manipulating the venous system rather than the muscle itself, to remove inflammation in the joint, soft tissue and muscle tissue by applying compression and increasing circulation. We highly recommend that massage be an important part of the recovery process and that using the RecoveryPump System before a massage will only make the therapist’s job easier and more effective by reducing inflammation which causes the muscle to relax before a massage treatment begins.
The RecoveryPump System can be used before a workout for 15-20 minutes to energize the venous system and increase circulation before heavy exertion. In essence, you are getting a warm-up cycle by using the RecoveryPump System, allowing you to hit full stride very quickly. If you can use the RecoveryPump System soon after a workout, that is ideal. However, your body should reap the benefits from using them at any time after strenuous activity.
