Drop-In Recovery Sessions -(During the Season Only)

Sore from the weekend’s games?

TM Physio are now offering Magpies Juniors payers drop in active recovery clinic to help you recover faster and perform better!

The recovery clinic will be run by our Exercise Physiologist, Adam. Its focus it to reduce soreness, maintain strength and improve mobility after competition to allow you to perform better throughout the week and into the next week’s game. It will consist of a small low load resistance circuit paired with mobility and cardio exercise. Adam will also be able to triage any niggles or injuries that may need further consultation.

What is active recovery and why is it beneficial?

  • Active recovery is exactly what it sounds like, using activity to help recover faster. The increase in blood flow that comes from low intensity cardiorespiratory training helps flush out any waste products left over from high intensity exercise in the bloodstream or muscle (such as a game). It also helps to assist in repair of the muscle fibres after high intensity activity.

  • Moving the joints through low impact and low resistance has been proven to reduce muscle soreness. 6-10 minutes of light resistance training in conjunction with 10-20 minutes of cardiorespiratory training has been extensively researched and shown to increase the subsequent performance while lowering blood lactate levels.

Cost: $10 per session
