How can athletes use decompression to recover faster?

Gravity Stretching Method Team

Hard training compresses the spine, tightens the muscles and gradually steals mobility - which is how niggles and overuse injuries start. Recovery work is what keeps an athlete training consistently, not just the training itself.

How Gravity Stretching helps

Decompression in straps lengthens the spine and releases the load that training builds up, while supported stretches restore range to the hips, shoulders and back. Many athletes use it between sessions to feel longer, looser and ready to train again.

Use it as active recovery, not another hard session - the value is in the release.
