While it would be great to have a hydro-pool, plunge pools and masseurs on tap, many programs do not have these resources and in most cases you will be on the road. What I have presented is a small ‘snap shot’ of ideas and the rationale behind these techniques. In most all cases these processes are cost efficient. The four areas covered (warm-down, hydration, fuel replenishment & Water Immersion Therapy) have ideas that could be used throughout the recovery process (24-48 hours). There are some areas covered; however, that have small ‘windows of opportunity’ and need to be used early in the recovery process.
