Sport Recovery 

Elite competition and training places the body under a great deal of stress and strain. Used as part of the recovery regime, Bodyflow® Therapy flushes out the toxins and by-products created from exercise enabling the athlete to recover from sporting activities and injuries faster than conventional treatments minimising ‘dead time’ off the field.

With billions of dollars spent annually on sports and sporting injuries worldwide, rapid recovery and rehabilitation is required to ensure that your team maximises it's opportunity in performance whether that be in training or competition to gain that competitive edge.

 

Bodyflow® and Recovery

Particularly of interest to athletes and sporting organizations is the statistically significant decrease in inflammatory markers found in participants treated using Bodyflow® after muscle damaging activity. Simon Sostaric and his team from Victoria University's study found that Bodyflow® was able to reduce the severity of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Further increasing the competitive advantage for teams and athletes that take up this proven technology.

In conjunction with the clinical trials, Bodyflow® is also being used as part of the recovery and rehabilitation regime by elite Australian athletes and teams across AFL, NRL, soccer, cycling, tour cycling, ironman, athletics, motor-sports and tennis. With more than half of the teams in the AFL using the technology, athletes trialling Bodyflow® have reported an improvement in performance, with a tendency to come into competition feeling fresher, competing solidly, getting off the field/track feeling better and back on track faster and fresher than conventional recovery techniques.

PROACTIVE USE: By reducing DOMS and accelerating post competition and training recovery the athletes recover faster for next event/match thereby maximising the opportunity for improved performance. Over the course of a season this cumulative efficiency of recovery translates to athletes feeling fresher and minimizing the mid to late season state of fatigue and fitness. 

  • Post game recovery (decongestion of muscles, accelerating recovery reducing the symptoms of DOMS).
  • Pre season training (decongestion of muscles, accelerating recovery reducing the symptoms of  DOMS).
  • Cramp reduction.
  • Travel and prevention of DVT (increasing circulation and assisting in preventing the pooling of blood).

REACTIVE USE: By healing sports injuries faster, this increase performance potential of a team/athlete, how much does it cost you/club to be injured and not playing??

  • Inflammation – Sprains, strains & RSI’s (encouraging fluid flushing and promoting healing by increased  circulation).
  • Fluid removal - Post operative oedema reduction and assisting with wound healing
  • Fluid removal - Post arthroscopy of any joint
  • Haematoma’s (encouraging removal of interstitial blood and promoting healing by increased circulation).

Shane Kelly

Track Cyclist, 3 x World champion (1995, 1996, 1997)

‘I’ve been using Bodyflow® 3 times a day on the heavy days, mostly after each training session. It’s giving me that feeling of lightness, getting ready for the next training session, I’m not as heavy or as sore, I feel like I’m backing up that day and the next session much better’

'P.S My training is going excellent and my recovery has been great. My coach is very pleased considering that i had a year off the bike....'

 

 

Simon Gerrans

‘After a day of racing (Tour de France) you sit down and your legs feel tired and sore. I have a session using Bodyflow® and the legs feel better but I really notice it at the beginning of the race the next day. At the first initial acceleration I realise how much better I’ve recovered’.

 

 

 Matthew Richardson

Archie Thompson

Soccer Player, Melbourne Victory & Socceroos

 
‘I loved it. I’ve been using it for two to three sessions a day. I’m especially feeling the difference after the second training session. I’ve got a lot more energy and not as much muscle fatigue. After a training session, before I put Bodyflow® on I feel tightness. After the treatment I feel lighter. I’m even sleeping with it on’.
