Power Plate and Theragun services at Flow State Cryo & Recovery offer advanced mechanical stimulation designed to activate muscles, enhance circulation, and accelerate recovery. These complimentary modalities use vibration and percussive therapy to wake up the nervous system before a workout or flush out tension after a long day.
Many clients add these services to their visit as the perfect finishing touch to a Whole Body Cryotherapy or Infrared Sauna session. They are quick, efficient, and provide immediate physical relief and invigoration.
The Power of Vibration: Benefits of the Power Plate
The Power Plate uses Whole Body Vibration (WBV) to create a high-speed stimulus that forces your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times per second. This "mechanical massage" offers a wide range of benefits for both athletic recovery and general longevity.
Enhanced Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage
The rapid vibrations act as a pump for your circulatory system. This significantly increases blood flow to your muscles and skin, which helps flush out metabolic waste and reduces the appearance of cellulite by improving lymphatic drainage.
Accelerated Muscle Recovery
By increasing blood flow and oxygenation to tissues, the Power Plate helps reduce muscle soreness (DOMS) after intense workouts. It’s an excellent tool for warming up the nervous system before a session or "shaking out" tension afterward.
Increased Bone Density and Strength
The vibrations provide a form of "loading" on the skeletal system. Studies have shown that consistent use of vibration plates can help improve bone mineral density and stimulate collagen production, making it a powerful ally in anti-aging and injury prevention.
Improved Balance and Core Stability
Because the surface is vibrating in multiple directions, your body must constantly engage its core and stabilizing muscles to maintain balance. This strengthens the small, supportive muscles that are often missed during traditional weight training.
Metabolic and Hormonal Support
Even short sessions can stimulate the endocrine system, potentially increasing the production of growth hormone and serotonin while reducing cortisol (the stress hormone). It’s an efficient way to boost metabolism and improve overall mood.
Theragun Pro Percussive Therapy
The Theragun Pro is a professional-grade, handheld deep-tissue massage device designed to accelerate muscle recovery, relieve pain, increase range of motion, and enhance sleep quality. It utilizes high-amplitude percussive therapy (16mm) to boost blood flow, decrease lactic acid, and reduce muscle stiffness or soreness. Key features include QuietForce Technology, customizable speeds, and various attachments for targeted treatment.
Key Benefits of the Theragun Pro:
Faster Recovery and Reduced Soreness: Studies show it can deliver the benefits of a 15-minute massage in just two minutes, reducing muscle tension and soreness.
Improved Mobility and Flexibility: By stimulating the nervous system and hydrating tissues, it increases blood flow to muscles and joints, resulting in better range of motion.
Pain Relief: The deep percussive force acts as a natural pain reliever by interrupting pain signals and promoting endorphin release.
Enhanced Performance & Warm-up: Used before activity, it helps warm up muscles, which can improve power output and reduce injury risk.
Improved Sleep: A 6-minute routine can help users fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality.
Advanced Features (Pro Plus): The Plus model includes heat therapy, cold therapy, vibration therapy, and guided breathing, along with attachments for specific needs like arthritis.
Targeted Use Cases:
Athletes: Quick warm-ups, post-lift cooldowns, and recovery.
Desk-bound Professionals: Relieves neck, trap, and hip flexor tension.
Chronic Pain/Stiffness: Helps manage muscle knots and joint pain.
What to Expect During These Sessions
On the Power Plate: You will stand or perform simple positions on the platform while it vibrates at high speed. You will feel your muscles instinctively engage to maintain stability. The sensation is often described as a thorough "shaking out" of the body, leaving you feeling buzzed and energized.
With the Theragun Pro: The device provides a deep, rhythmic thumping sensation. It targets specific muscle groups to release knots and tension. While it is powerful, the intensity can be adjusted to ensure it remains comfortable while effectively treating deep tissue.
How These Services Complement Your Visit
Power Plate and Theragun Pro are distinct from passive modalities like saunas or light therapy because they require physical interaction and mechanical force. They are the "active" components of a recovery circuit.
Many clients choose to use the Power Plate to warm up their lymphatic system before a Compression session, or use the Theragun to release tight spots after Whole Body Cryotherapy. Our team can help you determine the best order for your specific goals.
A Thoughtful Approach to Mechanical Recovery
Flow State Cryo & Recovery emphasizes education and correct technique with every session. Whether you are standing on the Power Plate or using the Theragun, our team provides guidance to ensure you are safe, comfortable, and getting the maximum benefit from the technology.
These tools are designed to bridge the gap between passive relaxation and active movement, supporting a fully functional and pain-free lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Whole Body Vibration (WBV)?
WBV is a therapy where a machine delivers high-speed vibrations to the body. These vibrations cause muscles to contract and relax rapidly, improving circulation, balance, and muscle tone without heavy exertion.
Does the Theragun hurt?
The Theragun Pro is a powerful deep-tissue tool, but it should not be painful. It features adjustable speeds and attachments so the pressure can be customized to your comfort level while still being effective.
Can I use these services if I am injured?
Both modalities can be excellent for injury rehabilitation, but it depends on the specific injury. We always recommend consulting with your doctor first. Our team can also adjust the intensity to accommodate sensitivity.
How long do these sessions last?
These sessions are efficient. A Power Plate session can be effective in just 10-15 minutes, and a Theragun routine often takes only a few minutes to provide relief, making them easy add-ons to your visit.
