Collaboration between UFC Gym and COLAB PHYSIO to help all members take control of their own recovery and to get more out of their training
Consists of four high level pieces of equipment including the theragun, normatec, gameready and compex
The recovery corner facility can be used without having seen a practitioner at COLAB
TOOLS
NORMATEC
Air compression recovery system
Dynamic compression therapy to improve blood flow and remove unwanted metabolites
Normatec uses dynamic compression, which is the pulsing sensation produced through the leg cuffs
The mechanism helps transfer and remove the muscle tissue waste and fluids in the body parts after an intense training session
The aim of the tool is help members experience an therapeutic effect similar to massage, by which the sensation of tightness and stiffness is reduced from their tissue
Additionally, Normatec aims to increase blood flow to speed up the recovery process for members and athletes
Game Ready
Ice and compression therapy
Continuous cold and compression therapy to reduce pain and swelling after injury or surgery
Cold therapy (also referred to as cryotherapy) promotes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) and reduces blood flow, inflammatory actions and edema (swelling)
Game Ready technology also helps decrease muscle spasms, metabolic demand on tissues and safely provide pain relief without the use of narcotics
The machine comes with a shoulder, arm, and leg cuff to be applied for many injuries
Recommended by health professionals as protocol post surgery, especially with post ACL, meniscus and shoulder reconstruction surgeries
COMPEX
Electrostimulation technology
Electrical muscle stimulation to help you train stronger and recover faster
When we decide to contract a muscle, our brains send a command in the form of an electrical signal to the nerve fibres
This signal is then sent to muscle fibres, which are excited and cause a contraction
In the case of electrostimulation, excitation occurs on the motor nerves using electrical impulses externally via the technology
The aim of the Compex units is to help alleviate waste products within muscle tissue
Comparatively, the unit can be used to improve muscular activation to a certain muscle or joint, especially post-injury
Theragun
Percussive therapy
A deep tissue massage in the palm of your hand
The theragun provides a natural pain-relief strategy in a quick and comfortable manner
The different types of heads available with the technology provides the opportunity to use on different body parts
More specific areas can be targeted with the smaller heads to reach around the upper back and neck area to assist with stress relief.
