RECOVERY AND RESTORATION

You know you’re gonna be hitting the gym hard, spending hours lifting, day in and day out,,,, but do you know you might actually be stalling your progress??  Recovery and rest are essential parts of any strength and conditioning program. Recovery must occur before progress can be made. It’s important for staying injury free during your training.
In order to adapt to the stress placed on the body during intense workout sessions and competitions, it is recommended doing activities that help prevent and overcome injuries to the soft tissue. These include:

1)  Myofascial Release & Foam Rolling:
One of my favorite activities to release tight fascia is foam rolling. Foam rolling is a form of self-myofascial release that is commonly used by fitness and medical professionals. A myofascial release technique is intended to address localized tightness in the fascia. This localized tightness may be impairing proper movement by causing pain or limiting range of motion – or both.

2) Sports Massage:
To reduce muscle stiffness, promote circulation and induce a state of relaxation in the muscle It can be performed the night of a hard workout to remove scar tissue, adhesions in the muscle and restrictions in the fascia (a type of connective tissue that wraps around the whole body).

3) Corrective Exercise
Used to normalize human movement before increasing training or exercise demands.

4)  RockTape
A special kinesiology/sports tape that provides support while allowing full range of motion. Tape is used to decrease pain, unload tissue via decompression, and provide a novel stimulus that improves body awareness.

5)  HydrO2-infused Massage
SolaJet™ DRYWAVE™ Massage System delivers a full body, high pressure wave of water, intended to help flush and condition muscles while stimulating the lymphatic system, all while you remain clothed and dry. SolaJet is an effective form of massage due to its deep tissue penetration and soothing waves of warm water.
Recommendation :
10-15 minutes
1-2 times per week
Should be done 3-6 hours after the workout, if possible

*Studies have proven that 15 minutes on  a SolaJet™ DRYWAVE™ Massage System can provide physiological effects that would take 2 hours of rest to achieve.
