Muscle Recovery is a very important aspect to a training program, building strength and muscle. Recovery after exercise will also assist in preventing future injury and muscle spasms. This type of session will consist of your choice of one or a combination of the recovery methods listed. The session will be completed by our recovery specialist Justin Grandy.
Guasha (Muscle Scraping) is a practice in which a tool is used to scrape client’s skin in order to produce light petechiae. Practitioners believe that Guasha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff, or injured muscle areas to stimulate new blood flow to the areas promoting cell repair, generation, healing and recovery.
Suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels under the skin. Your body treats the cupping area like an injury. It sends more blood to the area to stimulate the natural healing process. Some people theorize that cupping clears the pores and releases toxins.
