Scott Wells
Head Coach of Asheville City Soccer Club
“If I was to look back on my first season at Asheville City one of the most consistent contributors to our success was our periodization. This would not have been possible without the guidance and availability of HF. Through both Ronnie and Kim's expertise, the players trusted and believed in everything they were doing, it was more than just showing up to recovery, the guys used the facility like it was our main training center.”

NORMATEC COMPRESSION BOOTS
-
The NormaTec Pulse Recovery System helps you recover faster between workouts by reducing muscle soreness and improving circulation.
This science-backed recovery tool has demonstrated accelerated recovery, upregulated muscle function, improved range-of-motion, and increased blood-flow
Foam Rollers
-
Immediately reduce soft-tissue tension and speed up the recovery process. Increasing flexibility and decreasing muscle tension can help to prevent injury, decrease muscle pain and improve function and performance.
Percussion Guns
-
Percussion therapy has changed the game for all athletes and fitness people alike. Percussion therapy works by providing pressure to concentrated areas of the body through pulses that reach deep into the body tissues. Percussion therapy is proven to break up lactic acid, improve circulation, increase range of motion, and diminish muscle soreness more effectively.
FAR INFRARED & DRY SAUNA
-
For athletes of all levels, research shows infrared saunas are useful in enhancing muscle recovery and performance. Heat, in and of itself, is great for recovery, temporary pain relief, and inflammation. However, infrared light, because it heats the body from within, can penetrate further down into the joints, muscles, and tissues, increasing circulation and blood flow.
Good circulation is critical for proper healing. Red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to the site of the strain or inflammation, which helps to create new blood vessels and tissues at the site. The more red and white blood cells that can get delivered to muscles, the quicker they rebuild.
THERMAL MASSAGE MIGUN BED
-
Migun’s new technology combines natural treatments inspired by the sciences of chiropractic therapies, acupressure, massage, and far infrared heat therapy. These combined treatments were specifically chosen as the best modalities to help improve the bodies structure and function with the intention of reducing pain, alleviating stress and the many undesirable effects it causes in the body. This therapy also helps to gently detoxify the body and strengthen the immune system to keep the body in a healthier state.
Migun Therapy provides a treatment method that focuses on reducing pain levels by incorporating the science of movement. It helps to improve, restore, maintain and maximize motion, functional strength and overall well-being by addressing underlying issues.
IONIC HEATING PAD
-
Designed to provide real pain and stress relief to large areas, your back, legs, or abdomen. High quality, natural far-infrared, negative ions, and deep heat help relieve chronic pain, arthritic pain, back pain, stress, and anxiety.
Regular use can help improve circulation, which brings vital nutrients and oxygen to all areas of the body, and it helps to carry away toxins and waste.
RECUMBENT BIKE
-
The recumbent bike is a great alternative to reduce impact while staying active. Active recovery has been proven to increase blood circulation without challenging any muscles or joints that could be fatigued from a previous workout.
BAND WORK
-
Immediately reduce soft-tissue tension and speed up the recovery process. Increasing flexibility and decreasing muscle tension can help to prevent injury, decrease muscle pain and improve function and performance.
TRX CORE MOVEMENTS
-
TRX and other suspension trainers are one of the most versatile pieces of equipment for the physical therapist, chiropractor, or other rehab professionals to use in the treatment of injuries. The exercise variety and ease of quickly altering the load of the exercise makes it great for individuals of all fitness levels.
INJURY PREVENTION OLYMPIC LIFTING
-
Light lifting can help strengthen accessory muscles while reinforcing major muscle groups. It has been proven that light lifting in between heavy training can help with recovery and injury prevention.
VERTIMAX STABILIZATION
-
The unique, light-load, high-speed constant resistance cable training system has been adopted by some of the best athletes, trainers and sports teams from around the world. Vertimax, unlike any other training equipment, are designed to maximize athletic potential by focusing on three key components: speed, explosive power, and vertical jump.
We have employed these techniques to use the vertimax for recovery as well. Mobility, strength building, and injury prevention are all biproducts of light resistance vertimax training.
COLD WATER THERAPY
-
By removing lactic acid, reducing swelling and normalizing adrenaline production, the body can recover faster from intense training. Another benefit? Cold therapy also reduces injury recovery time by quickly treating acute sports injuries.
