Pre-Game Prep
Therapies at MK Wellness that support pre-game prep
What you do in the 24 hours before competition is different from what you do in the few hours right before it, and treating them the same is one of the more common pre-game mistakes. Our Pre-Game Prep offerings are general wellness services built around that distinction.
The 24-hour window is for deeper preparation: full recovery-focused sessions, hydration, and sleep support, since there's still time to recover before you compete. Infrared Sauna, Red Light Therapy, Compression Boots, and Spinal Thermal Massage are commonly used in this window to arrive at game day fresh rather than depleted.
The few-hours-before window calls for shorter, activating sessions instead, light circulation work and mental readiness, not anything that induces deep relaxation or fatigue right before you need to perform. Vibration Plate and NeuroVizr for mental focus fit this window well. Save EWOT for earlier in the week, it's genuine cardiovascular exercise and builds real VO2 max over time, but it's not something you want tiring you out right before you compete.
This is general wellness information, not a training or medical program. Talk to your coach or physician about how this fits into your specific pre-competition routine.
What We Recommend, and Why
In order, what each one actually does to a young athlete's body.
Red Light Therapy
PrimaryActivates mitochondrial energy production in muscle and skin cells, supporting faster tissue repair and reduced inflammation in a still-developing, high-turnover body.
Nano Vi + Mitolux
PrimarySupports mitochondrial energy production through molecular hydrogen's antioxidant pathway, a restorative complement to the high energy demands of an actively training body.
NeuroVizr + Sound Lounge
PrimaryGuides the brain into a specific frequency state, gamma for focus, delta for sleep, using light and sound, useful support for a nervous system still building its own regulation skills.
Vibration Plate
PrimaryTriggers reflexive muscle fiber activation beyond what voluntary movement reaches on its own, waking up muscle groups and boosting circulation in minutes.
Infrared Sauna
SupportingRaises core temperature and dilates blood vessels, increasing circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrients to recovering muscle after training.
PEMF Therapy
SupportingRestores the electrical charge across cell membranes, supporting the nutrient transport and waste removal that actively training, still-growing tissue depends on.
EWOT
SupportingFloods the bloodstream with concentrated oxygen during exercise, delivering more oxygen to working muscle and brain tissue than training on room air alone.
BioCharger NG
SupportingDelivers a broad-spectrum energetic signal, light, frequency, and magnetism, to support cellular voltage and general energy production.
Compression Boots
SupportingMechanically pumps blood and lymph fluid out of fatigued leg muscle, clearing metabolic waste faster than passive rest alone.
Massage Chairs
SupportingElevates the legs above the heart with gentle compression, reducing muscle tension and settling the nervous system without the fatigue cost of a deep tissue massage.
