I wanted to share our typical recovery protocol scenario where we combine Firefly in combination with other modalities in a conference tournament type-scenario. Same would be used in an NCAA Tournament scenario. We generally have 4-5 players who are at or above 30 mins/game and really enjoy the Firefly as their recovery modality of choice. 

Departure Day: 

Firefly application after team practice & shower

• Prior to flight 
• Wear for duration of flight 
• Turn off at bed-time 

Practice Day: 

Team Activation prior to practice; emphasis ankle/knee/hip musculature 

Team Stretch post-practice 

Ice active injuries immediately after practice x 20-30 mins
