The right recovery on the wrong day can work against you. Use this sheet to match your recovery to your season and your game week. Each list below is a top 3, in order, since most memberships include up to 3 therapies a day. Student Recovery ($150/mo) is for athletes 18 and under; adults can run it on any membership listed on page 2.
1. Match Your Recovery to Your Season
| Off-Season Build strength, fix nagging issues | Pre-Season Conditioning in the Texas heat | In-Season Recover fast between games | Taper & Playoffs Fresh, rested, and focused | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Red Light Therapy Supports muscle repair and adaptation from heavy training. | EWOT Builds the aerobic base while conditioning ramps up. | Compression Boots The fastest way to refresh legs after games and practices. | NeuroVizr + Sound Lounge Calms the nervous system and supports deep sleep before big games. |
| #2 | PEMF Therapy Helps sore joints and tissue recover between lifting days. | Infrared Sauna Post-training heat supports heat acclimation before summer two-a-days. | Zero Body Cryotherapy Calms soreness and inflammation when performance matters more than new muscle. | Red Light Therapy Gentle cellular energy support with zero fatigue cost. |
| #3 | Infrared Sauna Deep recovery, circulation, and relaxation after training. | Compression Boots Flushes tired legs during high-volume weeks. | PEMF Therapy Supports tissue recovery and sleep through a long season. | Nano Vi + Mitolux Restorative cellular support that doesn’t tax the body. |
| Skip | Cold right after lifting. It can blunt muscle-building gains, so keep cold for other days. | Stacking hard sessions on hard sessions. Recovery days are when fitness sets in. | Anything new or exhausting the day before a game. See Phase 2. | EWOT and long, hot sauna sessions. Save your energy for competition. |
