Air Compression: The Total Switch-Off Your Body Has Been Waiting For
Nicholas FaddenThere are very few things in life that genuinely let you switch off — not mentally, not physically, not emotionally. Air compression is one of them.
Whether you're juggling Vancouver commutes, training for HYROX, skiing every weekend, or just trying to stay upright through December, air compression at The Cove gives your body the reset button it’s been begging for.
And the best part?
It only takes 30–60 minutes.
What Is Air Compression?
Using the industry-leading Normatec system, air compression uses controlled pressure waves to:
-
Boost circulation
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Clear metabolic waste
-
Improve recovery between workouts
-
Reduce that classic “my legs feel like cement” feeling
You sit back.
You relax.
The boots do all the work.
Why Pro Athletes Swear By It
From NFL to UFC to Olympic athletes, air compression is a staple recovery tool.
Why?
Because it keeps them fresh, fast, loose, and consistent — even under massive training loads.
Here’s the thing though:
You don’t need to be a pro to deserve the same level of recovery.
In fact, if you're a busy human trying to juggle multiple roles, air compression is arguably even more important.
The “Total Switch-Off” You Didn’t Realise You Needed
Clients tell us two things after their first session:
-
“Why does my body feel this good?”
-
“I haven't relaxed that deeply in years.”
The pressure cycles stimulate the nervous system in a way that creates:
-
A grounding effect
-
Deeper breathing
-
A calm, meditative state (even if you're not usually a meditator)
You walk out feeling lighter, clearer, and weirdly motivated to do life again.
Why 30–60 Minutes Works So Well
You don’t need a whole day.
You don’t need to block out your schedule.
Most people get the full benefit in:
-
30 minutes → quick reset, circulation boost, tension release
-
45 minutes → deeper recovery, reduced muscle heaviness
-
60 minutes → full nervous-system reset + athletic recovery session
Great for:
-
HYROX training cycles
-
Ski season recovery
-
Runners
-
Desk workers
-
Parents (you know who you are)
-
Anyone feeling “tired but wired”
