Benefits of Recovery Center

Here at Arsenal Health + Fitness, we provide our clients with a holistic approach to recovery. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a fitness enthusiast, everyone can benefit from our Recovery Center.

Cryo & Cold Plunge

Reduce Inflammation: Both cryotherapy and cold plunges can significantly reduce inflammation in the body by constricting blood vessels, which slows down blood flow to the inflamed areas, thereby reducing swelling and pain.
Faster Recovery: By reducing muscle soreness and improving circulation, these cold treatments can help in faster recovery from exercise-related injuries or strain.
Mood Enhancement: Exposure to extreme cold triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood elevators.
Weight Management: Studies suggest that regular sessions can increase metabolism, helping the body burn more calories throughout the day.
Improve Circulation: Cold therapy can improve blood circulation by causing blood vessels to contract and then dilate. This process helps to flush toxins from the skin and muscle tissues and brings fresh, oxygenated blood to these areas.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Both can improve athletic performance by speeding up recovery, reducing muscle soreness and fatigue, and enhancing blood circulation. This allows athletes to train more effectively and frequently, leading to improved performance and endurance.

Red Light Therapy

Skin Health: Can reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, by enhancing collagen production. It’s also used for healing acne and reducing the visibility of scars.
Pain Relief: Can help in reducing inflammation and pain in conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, joint pain, and can aid in faster healing of injuries.
Enhanced Muscle Recovery: Athletes & fitness enthusiasts use red light therapy to accelerate muscle recovery after intense workouts.
Stimulate Hair Growth: Studies have shown that red light therapy can stimulate hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair loss.
Improved Mood & Sleep: Exposure to red light has been linked to improved mood and sleep quality, potentially by affecting circadian rhythms and reducing symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Wound Healing: Can speed up the healing process of wounds and reduce inflammation, making it useful in post-surgery recovery.

Infrared Sauna

Detoxification: Infrared light warms the body from the inside out. This deep heating causes a rise in core body temperature, simulating a fever-like condition that enhances the body's natural detoxification processes. Sweating induced by the sauna expels toxins, such as heavy metals and harmful chemicals, accumulated in the body's tissues, facilitating a thorough and efficient detoxification at a cellular level.
Relaxation: The gentle heat soothes muscles and joints, promoting a state of deep relaxation. This effect is coupled with a decrease in cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone. The reduction in cortisol not only induces a state of calm but also contributes to better stress management, improved mood, and overall mental well-being.
Pain Relief: The infrared heat penetrates deep into tissues, joints, and muscles, making it highly effective for pain relief. This deep penetration heats the muscles and joints directly, which can alleviate discomfort by reducing soreness on nerve endings and minimizing muscle spasms. As muscle joints and fibers are heated, blood flow to these areas increases, helping to speed up the healing process and reduce pain associated with conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, or overexertion.
Improved Circulation: Infrared saunas elevate the core body temperature, which in turn stimulates blood circulation. Improved circulation means more oxygen-rich blood is delivered to muscles and organs, enhancing the body’s natural healing process and promoting overall cardiovascular health. This increase in circulation can also lead to faster recovery from injuries, improved skin health, and a boost in immune function. Enhanced circulation from regular sauna use can also support better heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure and improve arterial health.

Percussion Therapy Devices

Enhanced Blood Flow: These handheld devices operate like high-frequency jigsaws, with a reciprocating tip that rapidly strikes muscle tissue about 2,000 to 3,000 times per minute. This intense, focused percussion therapy promotes increased blood flow to the targeted areas. Enhanced circulation delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to stressed or injured muscles, facilitating faster healing and recovery.
Reduction in Inflammation and Soreness: The rapid tapping action of these devices helps in significantly reducing muscle inflammation and soreness. By repeatedly striking the muscle tissues, they aid in breaking down lactic acid build-up and other inflammatory by-products. This process not only alleviates immediate discomfort but also contributes to a quicker resolution of muscle tenderness and stiffness post-exercise.
Expedited Recovery: Percussion therapy devices are instrumental in speeding up the recovery process. The vibrational therapy works deeply into the muscle tissue, enhancing flexibility and reducing the risk of muscle injuries. This therapy is particularly beneficial after intense workouts, as it helps in rapidly reducing muscle fatigue and soreness, enabling a quicker return to peak performance levels. Additionally, the improved blood flow and reduced inflammation contribute to the overall health and resilience of the muscles, making these devices a valuable tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
Improved Muscle Health: Regular use of percussion therapy devices contributes to overall muscle health. By continuously stimulating the muscle tissue, these devices help maintain muscle tone and prevent the buildup of scar tissue. This ongoing maintenance is crucial for long-term muscle flexibility and strength, making these devices an essential tool for maintaining muscular health.

Compression Therapy (Normatec)

Improved Circulation: helps to increase blood flow, especially in the lower limbs. This is beneficial for individuals who have poor circulation, as it can help prevent blood from pooling in the veins, reducing the risk of venous disorders.
Reduction in Swelling and Inflammation: By applying gentle pressure to the affected areas, compression therapy can significantly reduce swelling and inflammation. This is especially helpful for individuals with edema, lymphedema, or post-operative swelling.
Enhanced Recovery: Helps speed up recovery after intense training sessions or competitions. The improved circulation and reduced muscle vibration from compression garments can lead to decreased muscle fatigue, reduced soreness, and quicker recovery times.
Support for Varicose Vein Symptoms: For individuals suffering from varicose veins, compression therapy can alleviate symptoms such as pain, heaviness, and aching in the legs. It can also slow the progression of the condition and decrease the likelihood of developing further complications.

Venom Wraps

Targeted Heat Therapy: Provides localized heat treatment, which can help relax and loosen tight muscles. This targeted approach ensures that heat is applied directly to the area in need, making it more effective for muscle relaxation and pain relief.
Improved Blood Circulation: Heat therapy is known to improve blood flow. By increasing circulation to the treated area, the Venom Heat Wrap can help reduce muscle stiffness and promote faster recovery from muscle injuries.
Pain Relief: The wrap's heating element can aid in alleviating pain, including chronic muscle pain, by providing a soothing and comforting sensation. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, or spasms.
Enhanced Flexibility: Regular use of the Venom Heat Wrap can help increase flexibility in the muscles and joints. Warm muscles are more pliable, which can improve overall mobility and reduce the risk of injuries during physical activities.
