Gravity Wellness - Muscle Recovery

ENHANCE PERFORMANCE WITH DEEP RECOVERY

To become stronger, faster and fitter, we push our bodies harder.

All workouts stress the body, especially the tough ones. You’re fatiguing various muscles when working out which causes microscopic damage to the muscle cells. Hormone and enzyme levels fluctuate and inflammation increases.

These are exactly the changes you’re after to amp up your overall physical and mental performance. Changes like muscle growth, fat loss, improved insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, better cardiovascular health and overall healthier minds and bodies. But you need to give your body time for those changes to take effect before you start adding more stress to the system.

Training

REST AND RECOVERY ENABLES HEALING THAT MAKES YOU STRONGER

The stress and damage that exercise causes triggers the body’s immune system to repair that damage. When the body heals – from muscles and bones to heart and lungs – they become fitter and stronger than they were before, increasing your performance capability.

This repetition and ability to sustain increased levels of intensity in training is what results in improved health and fitness.

Overtraining

POST WORKOUT MUSCLE RECOVERY HELPS KEEP YOU INJURY FREE

Overtraining – or pushing your body to its limits time and time again, without enabling sufficient time for rest in between – can lead to overuse, which leads to burnout and injury.

Common overuse injuries include iliotibial band syndrome, stress fractures, runner’s knee and muscle strains.

Inadequate recovery time impacts performance: is also responsible for poor immune function, neurological changes, hormonal disturbances, even anxiety and depression.

Rest and recovery are important parts of every workout plan. But it doesn’t mean lying on a couch.

The best post workout recovery utilises a variety of strategies to help your muscles heal.

Treatments for Muscle Recovery

Without recovery, the full potential of your training and diet will be impacted no matter if you’re a fitness enthusiast or a professional athlete. Recovery is a well understood part of fitness at any level. It’s required for healing injuries, preventing them and of course reducing the muscle and joint soreness that follows a strenuous training session.

THERAPY

Floating is a revolutionary tool for enhancing the recovery, rejuvenation and performance of your body. Floating allows your body to escape the sensation of gravity, release musculoskeletal tension and accelerates muscle recovery. You can renew your whole body while maximising training gains.

INFRARED
THERAPY

INFRARED THERAPY

The infrared wavelengths stimulate your cells and reduces oxidative stress, so your body is able to make more usable energy to power and heal itself. This increases function, speeds healing, and lowers inflammation & pain, as demonstrated in numerous peer-reviewed studies.

MASSAGE

MASSAGE

Massage triggers a relaxation response in the body, reduces muscular tension and has been shown to induce the production of serotonin which is the precursor to the body producing melatonin. This helps prepare the body for deep relaxation and sleep, essential for recovery releasing muscular tension .

Muscle recovery

Amy is a great therapist – she uses effective techniques and is receptive to feedback during the session, so that specific areas are addressed. My sessions with her have allowed me to recover faster, so that I can get back into the gym sooner.

Pain relief + muscle recovery

Amy’s touch is intuitive, she has helped me in mind and body. I train for high endurance and as a result have particularly tight legs and calves muscles. The relief she brings in these spots are amazing. With her help I was able to stay on top of my injuries and maintain my desired exercise routine. I highly recommend Amy for her skill and versatility.

I had a float a while back! Amazing experience, highly recommended for athletes and regular health practitioners, great for relaxing the muscles. Definitely looking forward to my next float.

Floating has been incredible. As a carpenter & builder I’ve experienced a fall from a roof and the first thing I did was book in for a float. It allowed me to recover extremely well from the injuries and I was back on my feet in no time. I complete ultra endurance runs. The longest run I’ve done is 207km in 39 hours.

Change Manager – Muscle Recovery – 10 Floats

After running a marathon, I finished in a lot of pain. I could barely walk due to muscle fatigue and runner’s knee. I floated directly after the run, incredibly 90% of my pain was gone as a result! I’ve competed in iron man sprints and long distance running and I have never experienced such a quick recovery from pain and muscle fatigue.

Neville Jetta

former Melbourne football club Vice Captain

I came across Float Therapy back in 2016. During footy season, I float regularly. I use it for physical recovery after a game, but it’s also a powerful tool to get my mindset right before a game. While floating, I visualise the game play and remove any noise that distracts my focus. It gives me the edge to play my best on game day.
