🤽♂️ Water Polo is a high-intensity, physically demanding sport that requires explosive speed, endurance, and strategic agility. Athletes must constantly tread water, execute rapid directional changes, and generate powerful shots—all while fending off aggressive defensive play. The continuous strain on the shoulders, core, and lower body increases the risk of muscle fatigue, tightness, and overuse injuries. Whether you're a goalkeeper, driver, center forward, or defender, maintaining peak muscle health is crucial for optimal performance in and out of the pool. Athletes engage in continuous treading, high-speed swimming, forceful passing, and defensive grappling, making them prone to muscle fatigue, tightness, and injury. Whether you're a goalkeeper, driver, center forward, or defender, keeping your muscles in top condition is essential for peak performance.
Elite Recovery offers specialized neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, and fascial stretch therapy (FST) to help Lacrosse athletes stay injury-free, recover faster, and perform at their best.

👶 Youth Athletes vs. Adult Athletes – Key Differences
Why is recovery different for youth athletes?
🏅 Bone Development: Youth athletes have softer growth plates, making them more prone to injuries if muscles and joints are overworked.
💪 Muscle Maturity: Developing muscles require proper care to prevent imbalances.
💉 Recovery Time: Younger bodies heal faster but also fatigue quicker. Managing recovery is key!
🧠 Injury Risks: Overuse injuries are common, making targeted massage therapy essential for long-term sports performance.
At Elite Recovery, we customize each session to suit the unique needs of growing athletes.
