Seriously Advanced Recovery for Serious Athletes
Physiology Behind Muscle Soreness
Muscle soreness occurs after high levels of exercise- primarily due
to muscle cell microdamage and inflammation, which leads to the
accumulation of lactic acid, creatine and other metabolic waste the body
cannot clear completely during exercise.
Simply put, the increasing accumulation of waste and water in the
muscle after exercise causes a decrease in performance and an increase
of muscle fatigue. These elements must be removed via the venous and
lymphatic system to efficiently recover the muscle.
How the Human Body Removes Metabolic Waste
Our lymphatic system and blood vessels work together to flush waste from our cells naturally. Muscular movement however is needed to stimulate this process because the lymphatic system does not have a pump, like the heart. Often athletes will perform light exercise to achieve this muscle contraction and increase circulation in the body, thereby reducing soreness in the muscles.
RecoveryPump Expedites Muscle Recovery
Although the human body naturally excises waste causing soreness and fatigue, this takes time. RecoveryPump delivers serious athletes an
aggressive but very natural alternative to passive recovery that far
exceeds the results achieved from many traditional modes of recovery. Our system simulates localized “active recovery” in a passive manner
because the therapy is conducted at rest.
How it Works
Sequential intermittent pneumatic compression like the RecoveryPump increases venous
return, rapidly accelerating the body’s reabsorption of the elements
causing soreness and fatigue in the muscle. Specific levels of compression measured in mmHg, increase circulation at all levels of the venous system, Deep Veins, Saphenous veins, Superficial and Perforator veins, effectively removing metabolic waste faster than any traditional mode of recovery or rest alone.
