RECOVERY

WHY RECOVER?

At Cheeks we love working hard and getting the best out of ourselves, but we know it’s equally important to relax, recover and take care of our body.

The Cheeks Recovery Room includes both Infrared Sauna and Compression Therapy.

  • INFRARED SAUNA

    Infrared Sauna uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light which is experienced as heat and absorbed by the body. Infrared sauna use has proven to elicit a multitude of both psychological and physical benefits. The use of heat therapy has been shown to trigger similar mechanisms in the brain and body as physical cardiovascular energy. The body responds to heat by releasing both dynorphins and endorphins within the brain. Dynorphins cause initial resistance or discomfort to the heat but biochemically allow for endorphins to have enhanced effects on our mood and body overall.

  • NORMATEC III

    Compression Therapy has been shown to provide a multitude of benefits in the physical recovery of muscles post workout. Normatec 3 is the next evolution of the iconic Normatec series, using dynamic air compression to advance your wellness, recover faster, improve your training, and maximize your performance. Normatec’s patented precision pulse technology helps to increase circulation, revive muscles, and reduce swelling and has long been the choice of elite athletes and consumers throughout the globe.
