Our recovery sessions consist of 4 methods:

Muscle Stim Therapy

There are 2 parts to stim therapy. EMS and TENS.

EMS (Electrical muscle stimulation) is often confused with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), a common modality used in physical therapy offices.

Complex EMS provides an electrical current at a specifically designed frequency to target motor nerves.

These nerves then activate the muscle to contract based on the amount of resistance applied through the device. The brain also goes through a similar process when actual weights are lifted.

TENS is designed to target sensory nerves. Typically, sensory nerves receive a signal that they relay to the brain, the brain then decides if the stimulus is painful, soft, warm, etc.

When using a TENS program the goal is to alleviate pain by either inducing an endorphin release (Low Frequency TENS programs) or to block the pain signals to the brain through the Gate Theory (High Frequency TENS programs).

Percussion/vibration therapy

• Helps relieve muscle soreness and stiffness
• Improves range of motion
• Promotes circulation
• Accelerates warm up and recovery
• Myofascial release

Pressure point release

Stretch

For 30 minutes you will experience one or all of these methods, depending on what your need is for that day. Our recovery sessions are personalized to the individual based on current complaint, pain, tightness, inflammation, or other problems you might be running into. This is not a generic service. Everyone is different so not everyone will get the same care. So, whether it’s constant soreness or on going pain, we’re here to help get you moving and increase your quality of life.
