Recovery Services

When you’re an athlete, your next game often can’t come soon enough. But post-workout muscle soreness can sometimes make it difficult to give it your all.

Recovery services from Allegheny Health Network (AHN) help “get the lead out” by relieving post-workout muscle soreness. Our services shorten muscle recovery time while reducing the risk of sports injuries so you can stay on target with your training goals.

Additional post-workout recovery services include:

• Assisted stretching: We relieve muscle soreness by guiding you through stretches while applying gentle pressure.
• Cryotherapy: A brief stay in a chamber of cold nitrogen vapor (negative 160 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit) reduces pain and muscle swelling. Learn more about our cryotherapy sauna.
  
• Vibration therapy: vibration units (drum and platform) that stimulate neuromuscular activations (prior to strength training session), for soft tissue mobilization (to work out tight muscles) and post-workout/game for tissue recovery flushes. Use of these vibration units are proven to be effective in reducing muscle soreness and accelerating the rate of recovery in fatigued and overused muscles.
  
• Wearable compression technology: wearable devices that apply different levels of compartmental compression that assists the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to fatigued muscles and tendons.
