Air Compression Recovery Therapy
One of the recovery technologies we offer our members at Hive Active is the use of Air Compression Recovery Gear.
This technology uses dynamic pneumatic compression pumped in a wave-like pattern to enhance the body’s natural healing ability. Think of it as a high-tech, deep pressure, recovery massage that enhances blood flow and speeds recovery for your legs (recovery boots), and your glutes, obliques, lower back and upper legs (recovery shorts).
The recovery gear can be used before and after training sessions, or for those looking for a great bio hack to counteract physically demanding lifestyles or for those who have been on their feet all day.
Air compression Technology is designed to:
Enhance healthy circulation
Decrease muscle soreness and fatigue
Increase flexibility
Speed up recovery
Promote relaxation
While air compression recovery technology is a great bio-hack and recovery experience, pneumatic pressure massage is not for everyone.
It is a non-medical technology and should not be used to treat medical conditions or injury, on children or on any of the following conditions:
