RECOVERY + PERFORMANCE
Recovery & Performance are just as vital in our health journey as fitness which is why MVEMENT is equipped with medical grade full spectrum infrared saunas with chromotherapy, cold plunges, Normatec compression therapy, resting and active metabolic analysis, and functional movement assessments.
MEDICAL GRADE INFRARED SAUNAS
Infrared light is a form of alternative and holistic health therapy with more and more research available every day. Infrared comes in 3 distinct types. Because it’s on a spectrum, infrared has a range of waves in its own category. The 3 types are based on wave size, frequency, and the amount of energy they carry: near (NIR), mid (MIR) and far (FIR). Though tiny pinpoint-size waves, each infrared ray does something beautifully unique for our bodies, and nature. Infrared’s healing rays are felt on our skin as warmth, and are absorbed by our bodies to help them detoxify, relax, improve circulation, recover faster, sleep better, age well and help us feel good. The proof of this activity in our body is evidenced in the increase in core body temperature that happens during a 30-minute infrared sauna session.
COLD PLUNGES
Cold water immersion helps activate your body’s natural healing ability, which relieves the symptoms of various medical conditions, like inflammation, as it reduces muscle soreness—providing fast recovery. Cold plunges are a great way to heal injuries and muscles, making them popular amongst endurance trainers and athletes. If you have suffered an injury or feel as though areas of your body are sore or strained, a cold plunge is recommended. Cold plunges help muscle tissue repair itself and remove lactic acid from the body – the main culprit of muscle fatigue.
NORMATEC COMPRESSION THERAPY
Warm-up and recover like never before. Normatec’s compression therapy increases circulation and helps you maintain your full range of motion, leaving you fresh and limber. Normatec is like the best massage of your life. It’s proven to help with lymphatic drainage, and decrease pain and soreness so you never have to let DOMS cramp your style.
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT
The FMA is a tool used to identify asymmetries which result in functional movement deficiencies. The FMA aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during fundamental movement patterns. These movement patterns are designed to provide observable performance of basic locomotor, manipulative and stabilizing movements by placing an individual in positions where weaknesses and imbalances become noticeable if appropriate mobility and motor control is not utilized. Once these deficiencies have been identified through the FMA, a program of corrective exercises is then developed with the goal of preventing musculoskeletal injuries.
METABOLIC ANALYSIS
Get the most complete picture of your biology. Your metabolism isn’t just the calories you burn. It’s all the vital functions your body runs to use oxygen and keep you alive. We scan with clinical precision brain function, lung fitness, heart fitness, posture, recovery, metabolism, cellular health, fat burn efficiency and find the ones that pose a risk for your health and performance.
Biological Age Scan: Analyze your biological age as well as how long and well you’re estimated to live. (American Heart Association Data)
Metabolism & Cell Scan: Analyze how fast or slow your metabolism may be. Determine optimal calorie intake and dietary needs for your goals, and measure how effectively your cells burn fats and carbohydrates at rest and during exercise. This information can reveal the risk for metabolic disorders such as; Type II Diabetes.
Fat Burn & Recovery Scan: Analyze how effectively your cells utilize oxygen, burn fat as a fuel source, and clear fatigue metabolites during exercise. This is used to determine optimal macro intake during exercise.
Heart & Lungs Scan: Analyze your cardiovascular and lung fitness to understand how these vital organs impact your health and wellness. Gain an accurate illustration of how fit your heart and lungs are and how well you’re able to utilize them.
Brain & Posture Scan: Analyze how your brain affects cognitive performance, lower back pain, and myoskeletal health.
