Don’t Start January Sore — The Recovery Playbook for the Last Week of the Year

Why “Resting” Too Much Backfires

Many athletes treat this week as a full shutdown.

The result?

  • Muscles tighten

  • Range disappears

  • First January workouts feel awful

  • Injury risk spikes

Recovery doesn’t mean inactivity — it means maintenance.


The Goal for This Week

Not PRs.
Not volume.
Not intensity.

The goal is:

  • Stay loose

  • Keep tissue healthy

  • Maintain joint range

  • Reduce stress load

That’s it.


A Simple End-of-Year Recovery Formula

Athletes who stay ready keep it minimal:

  • 5–10 minutes of percussion therapy daily

  • Light mobility (hips, spine, ankles)

  • Short walks or easy movement

  • Quality sleep whenever possible

This prevents stiffness from becoming soreness.


Why the Pro V3.0 Is Ideal Right Now

The Power Massager Pro V3.0 allows athletes to:

  • Maintain tissue quality without full sessions

  • Release tension from travel or sitting

  • Stay mobile with minimal effort

It’s recovery without friction.
