Recovery Builds Performance
For athletes and fighters, recovery is just as important as training. Without proper restoration, performance stalls, injuries increase, and careers can be cut short.
At Delaware Functional Medicine and Longevity in Wilmington, Delaware, recovery and conditioning are core services overseen by board-certified physician Dr. David M. Creech. With advanced tools and physician-led guidance, athletes gain access to science-based methods that help them extend their competitive edge.
What Recovery and Conditioning Involves
Our programs combine physical training with modern biohacking therapies. Depending on your needs, your plan may include:
- Sauna therapy to promote circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and speed post-workout recovery.
- Cold plunge therapy to lower inflammation, improve resilience, and sharpen mental focus.
- Red light therapy to support cellular repair, joint health, and recovery after intense training.
- PEMF therapy to reduce inflammation and encourage healing at the cellular level.
- Strength and endurance conditioning at our full gym tailored to your sport and training cycle.
- Nutrition and lifestyle guidance to fuel workouts and maintain balance under pressure.
These tools are not used in isolation. They are integrated into a comprehensive program that supports both immediate recovery and long-term performance.
Benefits for Athletes and Fighters
With consistent recovery and conditioning support, athletes can expect:
- Faster recovery between training sessions, allowing more frequent and intense workouts.
- Improved strength, endurance, and overall physical resilience.
- Lower risk of injuries caused by overtraining or poor recovery habits.
- Sharper focus, mental clarity, and stress control during competition.
- Extended athletic careers through better body management.
- Confidence knowing that performance is supported by evidence-based recovery strategies.
Many athletes find that proper recovery improves how they feel and also translates directly into improved competition results.
Who We Work With
Our programs are designed for a wide range of athletes:
- Fighters and combat athletes preparing for bouts who need both conditioning and safe weight management.
- Collegiate and professional athletes looking to balance training intensity with recovery.
- Weekend warriors and recreational athletes who want science-backed recovery to support demanding training schedules.
- Adults returning to competitive sports after time away who need to rebuild safely.
No matter the level, our approach adapts to you as an individual.
The Process at Our Clinic
Every program begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Creech reviews your training load, recent injuries, nutritional habits, and recovery routines. From there, a customized plan is developed that blends conditioning with recovery tools.
For example, a fighter in camp may focus on explosive power training, paired with cold plunge sessions for inflammation control and sauna therapy for weight management. A long-distance runner might receive endurance conditioning along with PEMF sessions to reduce strain on joints.
Plans evolve as competition dates approach or as recovery needs change. Your care is always aligned with your performance goals.
