iVs for Athletes & Physical Activity

Intravenous therapy has long been used by professional athletes in the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA as a safe, rapid way to rehydrate and recover. It’s now becoming increasingly popular among master and recreational athletes thanks to convenient in-home availability and the real performance value it provides.

Locally, Vail iV Wellness & Recovery has supported athletes competing in the Leadville 100 Series, Xterra, Triple Bypass, and Copper Triangle. Many schedule an infusion before their event to load electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals, then return for a post-event treatment to replenish what was lost.

A key reason athletes such as pros at halftime, to local masters’ competitors, choose IV therapy is that it works even when you simply can’t drink enough fluids. By delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV therapy bypasses the stomach and avoids the bloating and nausea that oral hydration can cause.

What About Other Activities?

You don’t have to be doing a “sport” or “race” to need an iV. With our outdoor recreational culture in Eagle County, we’ve had clients call us after a week-long raft trip, camping, overnight hiking trips, or a hunting trip. Though these aren’t traditionally thought of as athletic activities, your body still becomes dehydrated and depleted when you’re physically active and are likely not receiving adequate nutrition and hydration.

What About the Nutrition Regulations of my Event or Organization?

All of our products are FDA approved and are sourced directly from an FDA approved pharmacy. All vitamins and minerals in each treatment are clearly documented and are only mixed in the processes approved by the pharmacy. You can feel confident that what you’re receiving meets the highest safety and quality standards.

Whether you’re training for your next big event, recovering after a hard effort in the mountains, or simply staying strong through a physically demanding outdoor lifestyle, Vail iV’s Athletic Recovery & Performance treatments help you bounce back faster, feel stronger, and get back out there with less downtime. Ready to experience the difference? Contact us today to schedule your in-home treatment with one of our registered nurses.
