Celebrating National Physical Therapy Month with Level Select: Enhancing Recovery and Performance
October marks National Physical Therapy Month, a time to recognize the critical role physical therapists play in helping people regain strength, mobility, and function after injury or surgery. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or enhancing your athletic performance, physical therapy (PT) can make a huge difference. At Level Select, we understand the importance of recovery in achieving your physical goals, which is why we’re excited to introduce a new line of products designed specifically to support your PT journey and sport recovery.
The Importance of Physical Therapy and Recovery
Physical therapy is essential for many reasons:
- Restoring mobility: Whether it's recovering from surgery or an injury, PT helps patients regain their range of motion.
- Pain management: Physical therapists use targeted exercises and techniques to alleviate pain and avoid reliance on medications.
- Preventing future injuries: PT not only helps with current injuries but also strengthens muscles, improving flexibility and balance to prevent future issues.
- Maximizing performance: Athletes and active individuals use PT to optimize their recovery and improve overall performance.
But PT isn’t just about the time spent in therapy sessions—recovery happens outside of the clinic too. Developing smart recovery habits and using the right products can accelerate your healing and ensure you’re back to peak performance sooner.
How to Celebrate National Physical Therapy Month
Here are a few ways to celebrate National Physical Therapy Month and build recovery habits into your everyday routine:
- Embrace active recovery: Make stretching, foam rolling, or light exercise part of your daily routine to improve circulation and reduce muscle stiffness.
- Create a recovery regimen: Incorporate tools like recovery creams, salt soaks, and cold/heat therapy into your post-workout or post-therapy sessions to enhance muscle recovery.
- Prioritize sleep: Restful sleep is one of the most powerful tools for recovery, as it allows muscles to repair and recharge.
- Stay hydrated: Hydration is crucial for muscle function and recovery. Make it a habit to drink plenty of water, especially after exercise.
- Fuel your body: Your muscles need nutrients to recover. Be sure to incorporate recovery-enhancing supplements into your diet, such as magnesium and CBD, which can reduce inflammation and muscle soreness.
Level Select’s New Recovery Products for PT and Beyond
At Level Select, we’re excited to launch three new Sport Topicals that are perfect for supporting your physical therapy and recovery routines. These products can be used individually or in combination to help you recover faster, reduce pain, and get back to doing what you love.
1. SPORT RECHARGE SALT SOAK
- Ingredients: Epsom Salt + Eucalyptus Mint + CBD
- How It Helps: This product is perfect for rapid sport recovery after intense physical activity or a therapy session. Epsom salt is well-known for reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, while CBD targets pain relief. The addition of eucalyptus mint provides a refreshing scent and cooling effect, making it ideal for a full-body soak.
- Use: Soak in a warm bath with the Sport Recharge Salt Soak after a workout or physical therapy session to relax muscles, reduce soreness, and enhance recovery.
2. COOLING MINT SPORT STICK
- Ingredients: Broad Spectrum CBD + Menthol + Camphor
- How It Helps: Designed for intense cooling relief, the Cooling Mint Sport Stick offers rapid pain relief for sore muscles and joints. CBD works to reduce inflammation, while menthol and camphor provide a cooling sensation that soothes post-sport aches and accelerates recovery.
- Use: Apply the Sport Stick directly to areas of pain or tension for instant relief. Perfect for use after a strenuous workout, run, or PT session to calm overworked muscles.
3. CIRCULATING SPORT CREAM
- Ingredients: Broad Spectrum CBD + Circulation-enhancing ingredients
- How It Helps: Unlike our other cooling products, the Circulating Sport Cream provides a warming sensation to increase blood flow and support muscle recovery. Enhanced circulation helps transport nutrients and oxygen to tired muscles, speeding up the healing process. This is a great option for those who need a little extra warmth to ease tension, relieve stiffness, or enhance flexibility before or after a workout.
- Use: Massage this cream into targeted areas before a workout to warm up muscles, or after a session to increase circulation and reduce stiffness. It pairs well with the cooling products for a contrast therapy approach—use the Cooling Mint Sport Stick for instant relief after a workout, and follow up with the Circulating Sport Cream to promote blood flow and sustained recovery.
Combining Products for Maximum Recovery
The beauty of our new recovery line is that these products are designed to work in harmony with each other. Here’s how you can combine them for the ultimate recovery routine:
- Post-Workout Soak: Start by using the Sport Recharge Salt Soak to relax sore muscles and relieve tension.
- Cooling Relief: After your soak, apply the Cooling Mint Sport Stick to areas that are still sore or inflamed. The intense cooling relief will calm your muscles and reduce swelling.
- Warming Support: For areas that need improved circulation or flexibility, follow up with the Circulating Sport Cream to warm and loosen muscles, preparing you for your next session or workout.
By using these products together, you’re giving your body the full range of recovery it needs—cooling, warming, and rejuvenating—ensuring you’re ready to tackle the next challenge.
