A traditional way to counteract this is the use of ‘active

function thus helping to eliminate metabolic waste products.
Unfortunately this does mean expending further energy which
may not be possible after an already hard training session.
This is where the Body Ballancer® can help.
With its smooth and consistent peristaltic action, the Body
Ballancer® provides an excellent form of ‘passive active
recovery’ that will:
• improve circulation, increasing the supply of oxygen and
nutrient-rich blood to the tissues
• increase the capacity of the venous return system
• stimulate lymphatic flow, speeding up the removal of
toxins and other metabolic waste.
How the Body Ballancer® works
Originally designed for medical applications, the Body
Ballancer® uses patent protected inflating compression
garments to apply a gentle or firm massage to the limbs and
torso (distal to proximal). Each garment contains 24 individual
air chambers that overlap and to apply fluent compression
strokes that target every inch of the treated area.
As little as a 30 minute treatment post-exercise will speed
up recovery by increasing blood flow, venous return and the
removal of waste products whilst enabling the rapid restoration
of oxygen and nutrients to fatigued muscle tissues.
