Frequently Asked Questions
The Recovery Co. is conveniently located at 8868 Navajo Road, Suite 18 in San Diego near 24 Hour Fitness and Aldi's. Work out, grocery shop and recover – without moving your car!
At The Recovery Co., we're ready to help you heal faster – as long as you have your physician's go ahead, of course. Once your doctor says you can begin holistic health treatments like cryotherapy, infrared sauna, compression massage and IV nutrition, we'll get you on the schedule so you can be back to doing what you love.
If your gym has medical-grade, private, jumbo infrared saunas made of cedarwood with the lowest EMFs in the business – then yes! But that's probably not the case. Our premium saunas have been shown to penetrate deeper – at lower, more comfortable temperatures – for a sweat session with noticeable results. Clients report better sleep, smoother skin, improved range of motion, lower inflammation and more – and numerous scientific studies back up those claims.
Whether you're catching balls, waves or heat at work, cryotherapy can support your recovery goals. Symptoms of physical and emotional stress dissipate with each treatment, helping you perform better athletically, professionally and relationally. You'll reduce swelling, pain and fatigue while improving soft-tissue recovery time. Cryotherapy has also been shown to help with mood and focus – so if you're working to reduce the weight stress has placed in your life, it's time to chill out with cryo!
Few things feel as good as a Normatec compression massage at The Recovery Co.! You'll sink into one of our luxurious recliners and watch some TV (Or catch a nap!) while the patented massage sleeves systematically trigger your muscles to release lactic acid while stimulating your lymphatic system and lessening tightness and swelling. Everyone wants to recover like the pros – and our compression massage in San Diego is your way to do it!
Do I need a membership for cryotherapy or infrared sauna at your San Diego athletic recovery center?
No, you can absolutely purchase individual treatments at The Recovery Co. We do incentivize memberships, however, because the data shows that consistent recovery has massive long-term benefits. You'll spend less and recover more by scheduling cryotherapy at least once a week and infrared sauna at least twice a week at our San Diego athletic recovery studio. That being said, just like exercise – some recovery is better than none! Whatever works for your schedule works for us. Let us know your time restrictions and we'll craft a recovery plan that makes sense for your calendar and budget.
Our professional recommendations are rooted in science and over a decade working in the physical therapy space. While each of our modalities brings something special to the table, know that there's really no "wrong" answer. Temperature-based athletic recovery treatments – cold or hot – have been shown to reduce inflammation, pain and swelling while speeding soft-tissue and joint recovery. If you're looking to dramatically improve your lung capacity and cardiovascular health on top of that – don't sleep on our saunas. They will increase your heat-shock proteins while reducing your overall all-cause mortality by up to 40% when used regularly. If you're an athlete who needs to recover fast, consider cryo as your first line of defense.
