Whether you're a weekend warrior, competitive athlete, or simply someone who enjoys staying active, recovery is just as important as training. At Sampsell Physical Therapy and Functional Wellness, we understand that optimal performance begins with proper recovery. That’s why we’ve invested in the latest recovery tools to help you bounce back faster, reduce soreness, and prevent injury. Let’s break down how our sports recovery services—Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, Normatec Compression Sleeves, and Sub Zero Cryotherapy—can work for you.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy: Heal from Within
Our Class IV deep tissue laser therapy is a game-changer for athletes dealing with pain, inflammation, or injury. This non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the tissues, stimulating cellular activity and accelerating the body’s natural healing process.
Whether you’re recovering from a sprain, tendonitis, muscle strain, or post-surgical procedure, laser therapy helps reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and promote tissue repair—all while relieving pain without medication. Many athletes report feeling relief after just a few sessions, allowing them to return to sport with less downtime and improved function.
Normatec Compression Sleeves: Boost Circulation and Recovery
You’ve probably seen elite athletes lounging with space-age-looking sleeves on their legs—and for good reason. Normatec compression therapy is a favorite among pros and weekend athletes alike for its ability to improve circulation, flush out metabolic waste, and reduce muscle soreness.
Using dynamic air compression, Normatec sleeves sequentially inflate and deflate to mimic the body’s natural muscle pump, helping move fluid and reduce swelling. It’s particularly effective after long runs, intense training sessions, or even during tournament weekends. Regular use can shorten recovery time, enhance flexibility, and keep your muscles feeling fresh and ready for your next workout.
Sub Zero Cryotherapy: Chill Out, Recover Faster
Nothing beats the power of cold therapy for managing inflammation and promoting recovery—and our Sub Zero Cryotherapy unit takes traditional icing to the next level. This targeted, pressurized cold air system delivers instant and effective relief to sore joints and muscles without the mess of ice packs or the discomfort of ice baths.
Cryotherapy can reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasms in just a few minutes, making it a perfect tool for post-workout recovery or acute injury care. It’s also ideal for reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), helping you stay consistent in your training routine.
