Smart recovery is the key to long-term performance and injury prevention.
Whether you’re training Muay Thai for fitness, self-defense, or competition, post-training recovery is just as important as the training itself. Without proper recovery, your progress slows down, fatigue builds up, and your risk of injury increases.
At Supergirl Jaroonsak Gym, we emphasize a complete approach to recovery and wellness for Muay Thai practitioners, ensuring your body can perform, recover, and grow stronger every day.

1. Sauna & Heat Therapy for Faster Muscle Recovery
Using saunas or cold plunges after Muay Thai helps:
• Relax tense muscles
• Improve blood circulation
• Reduce inflammation
• Relieve mental stress
Quick Tip:
Spending 15–20 minutes in a sauna 3–4 times per week can boost cardiovascular health and mimic light exercise, helping your body flush toxins and promote relaxation.
There’s a full-service sauna just minutes from our gym, such as KEDR Spa & Sauna.

2.Post-Workout Nutrition for Muay Thai Fighters
Your body needs proper fuel after each training session. The ideal post-workout meal should include:
• High-quality protein
• Complex carbohydrates
• Fluids and electrolytes
Quick Tip:
If you can’t get a full meal right away, drinking a small bottle of chocolate milk is a quick and effective option — it provides a good protein-to-carb ratio for muscle recovery.
There are healthy cafes near the gym that serve clean food and smoothies, like Yiwha Cafe & Massage.

3. Recovery Supplements for Muay Thai Athletes
Supplements can boost your recovery when used properly:
• Whey protein: Fast-digesting protein source for muscle repair
• EAA (Essential Amino Acids): Prevent muscle breakdown during training
• Pre-workout: Ideal for days when you feel low energy before class
Quick Tip:
Sipping EAA during your workout helps reduce soreness and support lean muscle retention, especially in high-intensity sessions.
Our gym offers ready-to-drink whey, EAA, and pre-workout at the front desk. Additional supplement stores are located nearby.

4. Sports Physiotherapy for Muay Thai Practitioners
Physiotherapy isn’t only for injuries — it’s one of the best tools for prevention and long-term performance. Ideal if you:
• Have recurring pain or tightness in specific areas
• Feel muscle imbalances or mobility limitations
• Want to correct improper movement or posture
Quick Tip:
If you’re constantly feeling sore in the same spot, it’s a sign your body may be compensating. A physiotherapist can identify root causes before they become serious.
There are sports physiotherapy clinics near the gym, such as OptimiseFit – Peak Performance.

5. Sports Massage & Deep Rest – The Underrated Recovery Method
Massage helps with:
• Relieving muscle tightness
• Improving circulation
• Supporting the lymphatic system
• Enhancing sleep quality and relaxation
Quick Tip:
After a massage, drink at least 500–700 ml of water to help flush out toxins that were released during the session.
You’ll find clean and relaxing massage studios nearby — one of the most popular among our students is Yiwha Cafe & Massage.
