How Recovery Works

Built into your plan — or on demand

Use recovery to support rehab, or to stay at peak condition through training and competition.

01

Assess

We identify where pain, swelling, or fatigue is slowing you down.

02

Target

Laser, compression, or Game Ready is applied to the right area and dose.

03

Flush & heal

Compression clears inflammation while laser accelerates tissue healing.

04

Back to action

You recover faster between sessions — so you can train at higher intensity.

NormaTec & Game Ready

Compression that clears the fatigue

NormaTec boots and sleeves use intermittent compression to flush lactic acid and inflammation from legs and shoulders — reducing soreness so you can train harder, more often. Game Ready combines deep cooling with compression on a single joint, the same machine used across pro and collegiate training rooms.

  • NormaTec compression for legs & shoulders
  • Game Ready ice + compression for targeted joints
  • Reduces DOMS so you can train at higher intensity
  • Great after surgery, hard workouts, or competition

Questions, Answered

Laser & recovery therapy — FAQ

What is Class IV laser therapy and is it safe?

Class IV laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses concentrated light energy to reduce pain and inflammation and speed healing deep in the tissue. It’s a safe, drug-free, non-invasive treatment with no downtime — widely used by professional athletes.

Does laser therapy hurt?

No. Most patients feel only a gentle warmth during treatment. Sessions are quick and there’s no recovery time afterward — you can return to your day immediately.

Can I book recovery sessions without being a physical therapy patient?

Yes. We offer laser, NormaTec, and Game Ready recovery a-la-carte — whether you want to continue progressing after PT or simply maintain peak condition during training and competition.

What does NormaTec compression help with?

NormaTec compression boots and sleeves flush lactic acid and inflammation from your legs and shoulders, reducing swelling and delayed-onset muscle soreness so you can recover faster and train at higher intensity more often.

How often should I use recovery therapy?

It depends on your training load and goals. We’ll recommend a cadence at your visit — many athletes use recovery after hard sessions, competitions, or surgery to stay on top of inflammation and fatigue.
