recovery tools

At Motus Health, we understand that effective recovery is essential for optimal performance and overall well-being. Recovery tools are most effective for reducing pain and swelling following post operative procedures like knee replacements, reducing pain and swelling from acute injuries, or aiding muscle recovery following intense exercise.

Both Motus Sportshub and Ashburton have recovery zones, where patients can use some of our recovery tools such as the Air Relax Recovery System, or cryotherapy and compression devices that compress and cool down areas simultaneously.

We have also teamed up with another business that provides rental of recovery tools to enable you to recover at home and bounce back from injury or surgery quickly.

What are the recovery tools?

The Air Relax Recovery System is a state-of-the-art pneumatic compression device designed to enhance circulation and expedite recovery. By inflating and deflating air chambers within specialised leg garments, it applies controlled pressure to the limbs, promoting efficient blood flow and lymphatic drainage.​

The cryotherapy tool provides compression, with the addition of iced water running through the system to reduce pain and inflammation.

Benefits of Compression Therapy

Regular use of the Recovery tools can provide several advantages:

  • Accelerated Recovery: Helps flush out metabolic waste and reduces muscle fatigue.​
  • Reduced Inflammation: Alleviates swelling and discomfort in the legs.​
  • Enhanced Flexibility: Improves range of motion by decreasing muscle stiffness.​
  • Improved Circulation: Supports vascular health and oxygen delivery to tissues.​

This therapy is beneficial for athletes, individuals recovering from injury or surgery, or anyone seeking to enhance their recovery routine.​

At Motus Health, we believe in a comprehensive approach to health and performance. Our Recovery tools form part of a suite of services, including physiotherapy, sports medicine, nutrition, and podiatry, all working together to support your recovery journey.​
