This room is designed to help kick start the recovery process and to help athletes restore normal function.
Utilising the recovery strategies; Aerobic Flush and Myofascial Release, athletes can increase their blood flow, break down muscle knots and adhesions following training and performance and enhance the body’s capacity to remove metabolic waste from muscles.
