OVERVIEW
WHEN YOU TRAIN LIKE AN ATHLETE, YOU NEED TO RECOVER LIKE AN ATHLETE.
Recovery is an integral part of every athlete’s sports performance, and this is especially true at the elite training level at Tone House. Recovery is not just for injured athletes.
Designed specifically for the Tone House athlete, our goal through these programs is to establish recovery as an integral part of our athletes’ training regimens in order to reach peak performance on and off the Turf and optimal levels of health and activity.
Whether you’re looking to manage repetitive physical stress from training, prevent injury, or improve/enhance overall performance, our RECOVERY programs are designed to get you to those goals.

“OPEN FLOOR” TIME
Brought to you by Dr. Kamraan Husain, these open floor recovery sessions serve as a means for Tone House Athletes to get quick hands-on treatment before, during, and/or after participating in a Tone House workout – complimentary!
These mini-recovery methods are imperative to keep the body fresh. As intense as the athletes will train in class, a mini-session immediately helps the athlete respond and recover.

NORMATEC PULSE SYSTEMS
THE NORMATEC PULSE RECOVERY SYSTEM
Get fresh legs faster. NormaTec is the leader in rapid recovery— the system gives a competitive edge to the world’s elite athletes, coaches, and trainers. The NormaTec PULSE Recovery Boots are dynamic compression devices designed for recovery and rehab, using NormaTec’s patented PULSE technology to help athletes recover faster between training sessions and after performance. For more information, visit www.normatecrecovery.com.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
The system uses compressed air to massage your legs, mobilize fluid, and speed recovery with the patented NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern. When you use the system, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your legs.
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?
30-minute sessions are offered to help you recover faster between workouts by reducing muscle soreness and improving circulation. Sessions can be done pre or post-workout.
*NORMATEC BOOTS are available at select Tone House locations.

COLD TUB THERAPY
WHAT IS COLD TUB THERAPY AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Soaking in a cold tub can make a big difference in the way your body recovers. After training, your body builds up lactic acid, and too much lactic acid build-up can decrease overall muscle function and can often lead to fatigue. A cold tub soak will immediately reduce swelling while flushing lactic acid out of your body. Once you get out of the tub, your muscle tissue warms back up and causes a return of oxygenated blood to help your muscles recover.
HOW LONG & HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SIT IN THE TUB?
We recommend 5-minute sessions to start. From there you can build up to 10 minutes. However, longer than 15 minutes is not recommended. You can soak in the tub as often as after every training session if you’d like – with the keyword being after.
WHAT DO I WEAR IN THE TUB?
Swimsuits, sports bras, shorts, swim trunks are all acceptable. We ask that you rinse in the shower before entering the tub and please do not wear the sweaty items of clothing from your workout into the tub.
PIEZO WAVE 2
THE PIEZO WAVE 2
We take Recovery seriously at the House, which is why we’ve locked down the crown jewel of shockwave therapy tools: the Piezo Wave 2. This cutting edge device uses Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) to treat acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. MyACT is not shock therapy, it uses acoustic waves to target tissues at varying depths by compressing and manipulating the tissue, resulting in a focused, precise deep tissue massage that provides improved circulation and pain relief.
MyACT is an extremely effective and non-invasive way to treat soreness and common pains experienced by athletes. It delivers a series of high-energy vibrations to the area being treated. These are NOT electric shocks, but physical/mechanical pulses that travel through the tissue being treated. A 10-minute session with the Piezo Wave provides the same benefits as a 60 minute deep tissue massage, which makes it an effective and efficient way to keep your muscles Turf-ready at all times.
Doctor Kamraan Husain using the Piezo Wave 2 on Head Coach Joe Rodonis.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Piezo Wave delivers thousands of high energy percussions to the sore or painful area. These impulses cause scar tissue and lactic acid to break down, which provokes metabolic activity and an inflammatory response which promotes and stimulates healing.
WHAT ARE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS?
- Immediate reduction of soreness
- Faster recovery time
- Improve circulation to affected areas
- Relieve muscle tension and tightness
- Increase collagen production
- Improved mobility and function of affected area
OTHER BENEFITS?
- Quick and effective – this therapy can be as effective as a 60minute massage in a third of the time
- Stimulates your body’s own healing ability.
- Can be used in small, targeted areas difficult to reach with hands or other tools
- Sessions include a Focused Therapy Source for pinpointed, focused treatment on specific pain points.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
The Piezo Wave device feels like concentrated vibrations in one small area at a time at varying intensities. Your Recovery Specialist Dr. Kamraan Husain will control the level of intensity based on your specific needs and comfort levels.
The Piezo Wave can target specific muscle areas to relieve soreness quickly.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE A PIEZO WAVE SESSION?
Piezo Wave sessions are now bookable for $100 with Dr. Kam. Book on our packages page or email Dr. Kam directly (doctor.kamraan@tonehouse.com) to determine if the Piezo Wave is right for you.*
