Recovery isn’t just physical — it’s holistic. 🌱

At ARC, we believe in a 360° approach to healing and performance, built on three essential pillars:

🔹 PHYSICAL: Recovery tools + hands-on therapies to reduce inflammation and enhance healing.
🔹 MENTALITY: Sharpen your mindset. A clear head = better focus, coordination, and motivation.
🔹 COMMUNITY: Because support systems speed up recovery. You’re never doing it alone at ARC.

Why cold therapy works — especially for young athletes. 🧊

Rugby is brutal on the body — even more so on developing muscles and growing joints. That’s where cold therapy steps in.

🧊 25% reduction in DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) after just one cold immersion session (From Leeder et. al (2012) British Journal of Sports Medicine.)
🧊 Inflammation markers like creatine kinase drop significantly within 24–48 hours post ice bath (Pointon & Duffield (2012)
🧊 Repeated cold exposure may reduce injury risk by improving neuromuscular control and tissue resilience (study: Dupuy et al., 2018, Frontiers in Physiology).
🧊 Cold immersion can lower cortisol (your stress hormone) — key for managing high-load training weeks (Wegmann et al (2012) International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance)
🧊 Mental toughness gains are real — teams that recover together, build grit together. Crowther et al (2017) Journal of Applied Sport Psychology.

Whether it’s post-match or mid-tournament, we’re here for the reset. Because young athletes deserve recovery that’s as smart as their training.

Looks like recovery mode turned into nap mode. 😴 No judgement — the boots do that to you.

Did you know?

🧊 Normatec compression mimics natural muscle contractions to flush out waste.
🧊 Studies show it can cut recovery time by up to 45%.
🧊 And yes, it’s completely normal to pass out mid-session.

Give your legs a reason to thank you. Book a session at our Gardens or De Waterkant Facility on www.athleticrecoverycentre.co.za
