Group Recovery
Peak performance begins with effective recovery
Sports Recovery Aotearoa understands that peak performance isn’t just about how hard you train.
FX | Series is our advanced recovery system, designed to help you bounce back faster and perform at your best.
The FX | Series integrates proven recovery methods into personalised protocols.
Each protocol is crafted to address specific recovery needs, combining methods like compression therapy, ice baths and infrared sauna.
Private
When you book an FX | Series recovery session, you’re securing a private time slot with your own group—whether that’s family, friends or teammates.
This intimate setup creates a focused, personalised atmosphere where participants can fully immerse in the recovery process.
How it works
Compression Therapy
Your FX|Series session begins with 20 minutes of compression therapy using state-of-the-art pneumatic compression boots.
Rhythmic compression simulates natural muscle contractions that occur during movement.
-
Boosted Blood Circulation:
By increasing blood flow to your muscles, compression therapy helps deliver oxygen and essential nutrients while flushing out metabolic waste, accelerating recovery.
Reduced Muscle Soreness:
Compression aids in relieving post-exercise muscle soreness and stiffness, helping your body recover from intense workouts faster.
Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage:
The compression stimulates your lymphatic system, helping reduce swelling and inflammation in overworked or fatigued muscles, preparing your body for the next stage of recovery.
Cold Water Immersion
Next, you’ll step into the cold water for up to 5 minutes where you’ll experience the benefits of cold therapy.
The water temperature ranges between 8-10°C where the effects on your body are profound.
-
Rapid Inflammation Reduction:
Cold immersion constricts blood vessels, reducing inflammation and swelling in the muscles and joints.
This process helps alleviate the pain caused by micro-tears in muscle tissue, speeding up recovery.
Eases Muscle Aches and Soreness:
The cold water shocks your body into healing mode, soothing aching muscles, reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and providing almost immediate relief from post-workout pain.
Boosts Circulation and Recovery:
Once you exit the cold bath, your blood vessels rapidly dilate, leading to an increased flow of oxygenated blood to your muscles, helping repair tissue and accelerate healing.
Mental Resilience:
Cold immersion also trains your mind to withstand discomfort and stress, increasing mental toughness, which is essential for athletes and high performers.
Infrared Sauna
Your recovery session concludes with a restorative 20 minutes in the infrared sauna.
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use infrared light to penetrate deep into your muscles.
-
Detoxification:
As your body heats up, you’ll begin to sweat profusely, flushing out toxins and heavy metals that may have built up during physical activity.
Muscle Relaxation and Tension Relief:
The gentle, penetrating heat works wonders in relieving muscle tension and tightness, helping you relax after the intense cold immersion.
Improved Circulation:
Infrared heat encourages better blood flow, delivering nutrients to damaged tissues and accelerating the recovery of strained or overworked muscles.
Pain Relief and Reduced Stiffness:
The heat helps reduce joint stiffness and muscle pain, promoting flexibility and mobility, which is crucial for preventing injury.
Deep Relaxation:
Infrared saunas are known for their calming effects, helping to lower cortisol levels (your body’s stress hormone) and leaving you feeling mentally and physically rejuvenated.
