At The Total Joint, we know that there is more to high level performance that just the action itself. Whether you are playing a sport, training for a race, or simply being active on a regular basis, recovery is an important part of keeping your body ready for success. That’s why we offer recovery sessions to make sure you maximize your potential.
Common Components of a Recovery Session:
-
-
- Normatec Compression: We use the Normatec dynamic air compression system to apply compression to your legs to help with blood flow, swelling, and muscle recovery. Find out more about it HERE.
- TENS: A session will involve the application of an electrical stimulation (TENS) unit to help decrease pain and improve blood flow to sore muscles.
- Moist Heat: A moist heat pad will be used to decrease muscle soreness through improved circulation to the affected areas. This can include your legs, back, neck, shoulders and more areas as needed.
- Combination with a Stretch Session: Try combining your Recovery Session with a Stretch Session. Have hands-on care from a physical therapist to improve mobility and flexibility, and follow it up with the above services to enhance the benefits. Read more about our Stretch Sessions HERE.
FAQs about a Recovery Session:
-
-
- How long does a recovery session last? Recovery sessions are approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on your needs. A typical session involves 15-20 minutes of Normatec compression, followed by 15-20 minutes of TENS with moist heat.
- How often should I come for a recovery session? That is completely up to you and your activity level! You can come as often as you would like or simply when it fits into your schedule. Just give us a call and we can typically get you on the books within 24 hours, often the same day.
- Does my insurance cover a recovery session? No, our recovery sessions are offered as a wellness service. This means that you will be responsible for the out-of-pocket costs. That’s why we aim to make these sessions affordable and offer flexible payment options to make sure you get the care you need. Call us for information regarding cost.
