Muscle decompression for recovery and performance
Recovering better is also part of training
According to Muscle Decompression, physical training and sports readaptation are not only about demanding more of the muscle, but about promoting better recovery. Overtraining or high-level sport can push the muscle to its limit.
The MD3 has a specific programme for recovery from muscle fatigue, indicated by the brand for both prevention and treatment of excessive muscle activation, and is used by strength and conditioning coaches, professional teams and physiotherapists in their recovery protocols.
