How do you recover faster after your training?
  • Marketing Herzog

Do you exercise intensively and do you always want to be ready to start your next training session? Maybe you are preparing for a marathon, you want to complete a triathlon or you are going to cycle miles in the Alps this summer... Such sports preparation requires a lot of your time, energy and discipline. Don't you like it when you have to slow down due to fatigue or minor aches and pains? Do you want to get up the morning after a long or intensive workout with a rested body and fresh legs? In this blog we tell you how you can boost your recovery!

What influences your recovery?

When you demand a lot from your body, it is very important that you take your recovery seriously. After a long run, intensive bike ride or brisk walk, your body needs time to recover. Based on classical training theory, you must alternate periods of strain and recovery to make progress. 'Super compensation'... you may have heard of it. By taking a rest after training, the body recovers (compensates), after which it reaches a 'higher level' to cope with the next training stimulus. You could therefore say that the body recovers above the original sports starting level after a training impulse. However, the extent of this recovery depends greatly on many factors: the intensity of your training, the removal of fluid and waste products (lactic acid), your diet, sleep and stress.

The effect of a sports massage

Many athletes occasionally visit the physiotherapist or masseur for a sports massage. Such a massage is aimed at stimulating blood circulation in the muscles. The masseur ensures that waste products from the combustion process are removed more quickly and can loosen connective tissue or remove muscle knots. In this way, it promotes the recovery of your muscles and body.

It is understandable that you do not always have time to go straight to your physiotherapist or masseur, especially if you have a busy schedule, work a lot or exercise abroad during your holiday. In that case, Herzog's Compry Recovery system can offer a solution. With Compry Recovery you always have your own masseur within reach.

How does Compry Recovery work?

Compry Recovery is an innovative device that offers better and faster recovery after exertion. The system consists, as it were, of two spacious trouser legs. Each pipe has four air chambers that are inflated independently, via a computer, from distal to proximal (from far from the heart to the heart), just like a sports masseur starts at the ankle and works down to the knee. The pressure build-up from the foot via the calf to the thigh can also be adjusted to different compression levels. Compry Recovery offers three preset massage programs and you can adjust the pressure level to your liking on four levels. The highest pressure is comparable to the effect of a deep massage by a masseur. This makes the Compry Recovery ideal for use wherever and whenever you want.

Many professional top athletes, such as Estavana Polman, and cycling teams such as Team DSM-firmenich PostNL and Alpecin-Deceuninck, regularly use this recovery equipment. The medical staff of various sports associations, such as the Dutch Athletics Union and the Royal Dutch Korfball Association, also provide their athletes with Compry Recovery systems.

Of course, you don't have to be a top athlete to benefit from this recovery equipment. Do you need a daily massage during periods of heavy training and do you want to get the most out of your sports performance? Of Compry Recovery you always have your masseur at hand.

In addition to the Compry Recovery, there is also the Compry Recovery PRO. The Compry Recovery PRO is perfect to take with you on the road. The eight different compression chambers provide the right amount of compression to each part of your legs. Combine this with the25 different compression strengthsand six different programs, you won't go anywhere without the Compry Recovery PRO.

What makes the PRO even more special is the fact that the PRO can be used wirelessly. The battery in the system lasts up to 6 hours. This way you are not tied to sockets and you can use the system literally anywhere.

The system comes with a pair of compression legs in your chosen size, the system and a sturdy bag so you can take the Compry Recovery PRO with you.

“During my time as a physiotherapist at NAC Breda, I recommended the PRO Compression Shorts from Herzog Medical to many players. These trousers are worn both preventively and curatively. Within football, the incidence of groin and hamstring injuries is high. With Herzog shorts you, as a physiotherapist, have an extra tool to properly manage these problems.”
