Clubs send players, and plenty of people turn up in their own kit after a club run or a five-a-side. The pattern is the same. Train, then do something short that makes the next session less grim. Cryotherapy is the three-minute version. Normatec boots are the longer leg-flush. Red light is the quiet one. None of them replace sleep, food, or a physio who has actually assessed you.
If you have 20 minutes, do the chamber. If you have an hour and your legs are the problem, do the boots, or the chamber and then the boots. If a joint is properly injured — swollen, unstable, not just sore — get it seen before you freeze it. We will say that on the phone. We would rather lose the booking.
The clinic is on Appin Road at the Argyle Industrial Estate in Tranmere, a short hop from the Wallasey and Birkenhead roads and straightforward from Heswall, West Kirby and the Liverpool side of the water. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Call 07500 678381 so the chamber is actually free when you arrive.
