WHEN WE HELP: ATHLETE RECOVERY
Physical recovery is of paramount importance to athletes and sports enthusiasts. Your success is defined by the smallest of margins and how you choose to recover can give you that desired competitive edge.
BOUNCE BACK FROM INTENSE TRAINING PERIODS
Being able to recover quickly from intense bouts of exercise without discomfort or injury is fundamental for top athletes to become robust and reach their full potential. Cryotherapy can be a great asset to athletes, helping them with the management of any persistent niggles and DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) following training.
UPGRADE YOUR RECOVERY ROUTINE
Physiolab’s cryotherapy devices are highly effective, safe and easy-to-use. They are portable and can be transported to training locations if required. The application of cooling and compression helps to alleviate pain, swelling and inflammation. It can perfectly complement your pre-existing recovery routine and help you take your performance to the next level.
ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS
-
In the first few days following my injury, I used Physiolab every 3 hours. It helped to return my swollen ankle to its normal size and the pain was also reduced because of the cold. The work athletes do off the pitch with this kind of recovery treatment is of paramount importance. In today's competitive football, we are called to play a game every 3 days and I cannot stress highly enough the importance of this kind of rehabilitation.
