Recharge. Recover. Rise Higher — with Mount Carmel Fitness Wellness & Recovery Services

At Mount Carmel Fitness, we believe that what you do after your workout is just as important as what you do during it. Our Wellness & Recovery Suite is designed to help your body heal faster, move better, and feel its best — so you can keep showing up stronger every time. With tools like NormaTec leg and hip compression and advanced massage therapy equipment, we provide science-backed recovery solutions for athletes and everyday movers alike.

🩸 Enhance Circulation & Lymphatic Blood Flow
NormaTec’s dynamic air compression technology uses pulsing gradients to mimic lymphatic drainage, the natural muscle pump of the legs and hips, helping to flush out waste products like lactic acid and increase fresh blood flow. This accelerates nutrient delivery to your muscles while reducing inflammation and supports overall immune health.

🧠 Decrease Muscle Fatigue & Soreness
Recovery isn’t just about feeling better — it’s about performing better. Whether you’re training hard, returning from injury, or just feeling the wear and tear of daily life, NormaTec and massage tools work together to rejuvenate tired muscles and help you bounce back faster.

🧘 Improve Range of Motion & Flexibility
Tight muscles and restricted joints don’t just limit your performance — they increase your risk of injury. Our recovery services promote deep muscle relaxation, reduce fascial tension, and enhance tissue elasticity. NormaTec hip compression can specifically target hard-to-reach areas like the lower back and glutes, while massage therapy tools help release chronic tight spots. The result? Greater mobility, better posture, and more freedom in every movement you make.

⏱ Accelerate Recovery & Support Longevity
Consistent use of recovery tools doesn’t just make you feel better now — it prepares your body for long-term success. By lowering systemic stress, reducing muscle breakdown, and supporting natural healing processes, these services optimize your body’s recovery window.

Turning Back Time: Moving Like a 20-Year-Old When You're Almost 70!

Older adults can maintain youth-like levels of physical function—if they lift weights. A new study compared older adults (~69 yr) who resistance trained to young adults (~24 yrs) who did not. The result? On key measures like:

• Chair-stand performance
• 6-minute walk test
• Timed up-and-go

➡️ Older lifters performed as well as (or better than) young non-lifters.
No gimmicks.
No biohacks.
No pre-exercise protein.
No creatine.
No fancy pixie dust…
Just consistency and resistance training—2x/week following ACSM guidelines. How simple is that?

Flip the script on aging: muscle loss and functional decline aren't inevitable. Resistance training is powerful, accessible, and proven to maintain independence and quality of life as we age.

Older adults can maintain youth-like levels of physical function—if they engage in weightlifting.

put on a presentation at Cedar Commons by Hartford Healthcare yesterday on how different styles of exercise are beneficial to the many health conditions we face as we age, such as arthritis, poor balance, joint replacements, and more. We all know it helps with strength and weight loss, but we touched on non-traditional benefits of exercise, directly relating to their day to day struggles to better motivate them!

Our presentation consisted of
📖 30 minute educational piece on the many benefits of exercise, focusing on neurological and coordination benefits, as well as strength
💪🏼 15 minute functional interval exercise class
🧘 15 minutes of balance and Tai Chi principles to slow down their movements, for better focus and better movement quality

Participants loved the class and the variety of movement styles along with the benefits of each one, focusing on new information that is pertinent to their current health conditions.

This is a client who told me she would never enjoy exercise

This is a client that I told me the day we did her eval, she likely wouldn’t be a member for long

She told me she felt uncoordinated when exercising

She never felt strong enough to

Quit PT early for her injuries because the system wasn’t out to improve her, she was just another scheduled session

She thought there was no chance for her to get stronger, or to even enjoy her time at the gym

kept her on track. Nearly 3 years later, she referenced maybe being addicted to exercise 😉

Mount Carmel Fitness puts your goals and needs first, and puts together a plan that is easy to adhere to even in the toughest of times
