NORMATEC COMPRESSION THERAPY
NormaTec Compression Therapy uses air filled compression sleeves to treat the arms and legs for rapid muscle recovery. As little as 15 minutes of treatment after a workout can greatly accelerate the soft tissue healing process and decrease recovery time. The patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout. Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid back flow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Intermittent pneumatic compression significantly lowers blood lactate concentrations, increases flexibility, and reduces select skeletal muscle oxidative stress.
COLD PLUNGE
Our Cold Plunge allows users to take a dip in 40-45 degree water for up to three minutes. The temperature of the water as well as the time allowed to bathe is calculated as maximizing long-term benefits for the body afterwards. Spending time in cold water after a workout can help reduce the muscular wear and tear that is caused by physical activity, leading to less inflammation. Negative effects of long term submersion take effect after more than 3 minutes, which is why we only allow users to use the treatment for a certain amount of time. Perfect for athletes post workout or for anyone looking to mitigate body pain, cold plunge is a tried and true versatile well-being treatment. Note that users are asked to shower prior to entering the tub if they are partaking after a workout. There is a shower located at the facility, though we ask users to bring their own towel.
