Recovery — Tools to Reduce Soreness, Restore Range, and Recharge

Build a sustainable recovery routine with big-impact modalities: cold plunges, precision chillers, compression boots, red light therapy, hyperbaric chambers, and sensory deprivation tanks. Mix methods to manage soreness, improve circulation, and support sleep and readiness.

Circulation & Relief
Compression and targeted light to ease heaviness.
Cold Exposure
Short, potent sessions to stimulate recovery.
Deep Reset
Float and hyperbaric options for focused sessions.
Consistency
Simple weekly protocols that are easy to repeat.

Recovery — Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a cold plunge be?
Common protocols are 1–5 minutes per bout at ~39–55°F (4–13°C). Start warmer/shorter and progress gradually. Stop if you feel numbness, pain, or uncontrolled shivering.
Do I need a chiller for my plunge?
If you want consistent temperatures year-round, a chiller is the easiest route. Ice can work in cool seasons but is less repeatable and more labor-intensive.
Will cold exposure blunt muscle gains?
Cold immediately after hypertrophy work may modestly dampen signaling. To be cautious, separate cold sessions from key lifting by several hours or use on rest days.
What does “compression boots” actually do?
Intermittent pneumatic compression cycles pressure along the legs to promote fluid movement. Typical sessions are 15–30 minutes at comfortable pressures—avoid numbness or pain.
How often should I use red light therapy?
Often 3–7×/week, 5–15 minutes per area, following device guidance on distance and dose. Target sore or stiff regions consistently.
Hyperbaric chambers: what are the basics?
Home mHBOT (mild hyperbaric oxygen) uses increased ambient pressure (with an oxygen concentrator in many setups). Sessions are usually 60–90 minutes. Always follow manufacturer guidance and consult a qualified clinician for medical questions.
Are there safety considerations for hyperbaric use?
Yes—pressurized environments require adherence to operating instructions, no ignition sources, and appropriate oxygen handling. People with certain medical conditions should seek medical guidance before use.
Sensory deprivation (float) tanks: how long and how often?
Common sessions are 45–90 minutes. Frequency varies—many users float 1–2×/week initially and adjust based on perceived benefit.
Can I combine modalities on the same day?
Yes—keep sessions short and sequence them around training. For example, compression or light mobility post-workout; cold later in the day; float or hyperbaric on rest days or away from maximal training when possible.
Do I need special flooring or power?
Plunges benefit from non-slip mats and nearby drainage. Chillers and red-light panels use standard outlets; hyperbaric chambers typically need dedicated outlets for compressors/concentrators—see product pages for amperage and voltage.
How do I track whether it’s working?
Pick 2–3 markers—sleep quality, soreness ratings, session readiness, or simple HRV trends—and review weekly. Adjust frequency/dose based on your training load and recovery goals.
Any general cautions?
Avoid alcohol before sessions; don’t use cold/pressure modalities when ill; and stop immediately if dizzy or unwell. This page is general wellness info—not medical advice.

Compression Boots Chair + device space Leg elevation for comfort Outlet or battery pack
Red Light Devices Wall/stand area Set distance per device guidance Standard outlet
Hyperbaric Chambers Varies: soft chambers often 7–9′ L Clear route; oxygen/compressor placement; no ignition sources Dedicated circuits for compressor/concentrator
Sensory Deprivation Tanks Room for tank + entry/exit Moisture control, ventilation, sound management Outlet(s); water fill/drain solutions

Delivery Path Checklist

For large/heavy items (plunges, hyperbaric, float tanks): measure the narrowest point from curb to room of choice and compare to boxed or assembled dimensions.

  • Doorways: Clear width; removing doors may add ~⅝–¾″.
  • Hallway Turns: Confirm corner clearance and overhead fixtures.
  • Stairs/Elevators: Check landing depth, headroom, and cab size/weight limits.
  • Final Room: Space to stage panels/tub and assemble safely; protect floors.
  • Utilities: Verify dedicated outlets (hyperbaric compressors/concentrators; chillers) and nearby drainage for tanks.
Item Typical Box Width Pro Tip
Cold Plunge Tub ~28–34″ Use sliders; protect thresholds from scraping.
Chiller Unit ~16–22″ Maintain airflow clearance on all vents.
Hyperbaric Chamber Varies (long cartons) Unbox near room; plan compressor/concentrator placement.
Sensory Deprivation Tank Panelized or large shells Check moisture management and floor load beforehand.

Care, Warranty & Shipping

Follow device manuals for safe operation and cleaning. For plunges: maintain water chemistry/filtration and clean filters on schedule. For compression/red light: inspect cables/zippers regularly. For hyperbaric/float: adhere strictly to setup and ventilation guidelines.
