The Next Frontier of Sport-Recovery
R
ecovery is a huge focus for training programs because
there is a clear correlation between proper recovery
tactics and top performance. As facilities strive to stay
on the cutting-edge and offer the best opportunities for their
athletes, recovery equipment, special recovery spaces, and protocols
dedicated to recovery are becoming more central.
Today more than 97% of pro teams in the US rely on NormaTec
for recovery and rehab, and a growing number of these teams,
as well as top institutions, have constructed NormaTec recovery
rooms in their training facilities. This includes the Kansas City
Chiefs, Boston Red Sox, University of Alabama, Brooklyn Nets,
and the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Just like cardio and strength
training equipment, dedicated recovery spaces and access to recovery
equipment are becoming the standard. Athlete recovery
is a comprehensive endeavor, and in addition to compression
therapy, different modalities
and techniques including
guided stretching, foam rolling,
and percussive therapy
that are utilized in these
spaces.
" The big component on
my end was the recovery
room, " says Rick Burkholder,
head athletic trainer for
the Kansas City Chiefs, on
his decision to implement a
NormaTec Recovery Room
for the team. " Our days lost
for practices are way down. "

Even if an entire room for recovery is not possible within an existing
space, recovery areas can be incorporated into a current
layout, adding value to the facility as a whole. Equipment like
the NormaTec PULSE 2.0 Series, foam rollers, and percussive
therapy are not only essential but also easy to integrate, highly
effective, and take up very little space. Zero Gravity chairs work
well for pop-up recovery areas and can easily be folded up in
between sessions. Training staff members and athletes on the
importance of recovery is also key to the success of recovery
programs.
" The NormaTec Recovery Zone is one of the best investments
we have made here at Alabama, " says Jeff Allen, head athletic
trainer and director of sports medicine for the University of
Alabama football program. " I feel like you can really define
recovery as the ability to maintain your performance each day
and each game, and that's
a huge challenge ... And
we've had a lot of success
with NormaTec. "
A recovery room can
help your program stay
ahead of the curve and
give athletes a competitive
advantage. For more
