- TECAR Therapy:
A study published in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation discusses TECAR therapy’s effectiveness in sports rehabilitation. It highlights the therapy’s role in reducing pain and promoting faster recovery in both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. Another study supports its use for faster recovery post-surgery and managing low back pain

- Massage and Stretching:
The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT) has published multiple reviews and studies highlighting the effectiveness of massage and stretching in relieving muscle pain and enhancing recovery. One systematic review emphasizes the use of manual therapy, including massage, to improve musculoskeletal recovery and reduce pain
PhysioPedia- Citation: Shah, M., & Farrow, L. (2016). Effectiveness of manual therapy in managing musculoskeletal injuries. JOSPT, 46(5), 337-350.
- Cupping with Infrared:
While research is still growing, studies suggest that combining cupping with infrared therapy enhances blood circulation and muscle relaxation, aiding in recovery post-exercise. This approach is promising for reducing muscle tension and chronic pain

- Contrast Therapy:
Contrast therapy has been found effective in reducing inflammation and muscle soreness in athletes. A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research supports its use in speeding up recovery after strenuous exercise by alternating hot and cold water immersion

- Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy is widely researched for reducing muscle soreness and promoting recovery. A study in JOSPT reports that it can significantly decrease delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in athletes

- Pneumatic Compression (Normatec Boots):
Research published in Journal of Sports Sciences supports the use of pneumatic compression for reducing muscle soreness and fatigue, with evidence showing that it accelerates recovery in athletes

- Massage Gun:
Percussive therapy (massage guns) has been shown to improve range of motion and decrease muscle tightness. Research published in Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies indicates the effectiveness of massage guns in post-exercise recovery
