Modern recovery engineered for high-altitude endurance and mountain living. Cedar sauna, stainless cold plunges, pneumatic compression, and elite bodywork in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley.
Salida sits at the gateway to the Sawatch Range, home to fifteen 14,000-foot peaks, hundreds of miles of technical singletrack, and world-class river runs.
High Country Performance was founded on a simple truth: endurance athletes, gravel riders, ultrarunners, and passionate adventurers deserve a disciplined, tactile recovery ground. No fluffy cucumber wraps or sterile surgical rooms—just high-grade equipment, deliberate thermal contrast, and the local sports medicine community under one cedar roof.
Calibrated specifically for altitude strain, lactic clearing, and soft tissue repair.
Direct access to Salida’s top sports PTs and licensed bodywork practitioners.
Every modality at HCP is selected for verified physiological outcomes: vasodilation, cellular mitochondrial activation, lymphatic drainage, and nervous system down-regulation.
Custom western red cedar saunas coupled with commercial-grade filtered stainless plunge tanks. Rapid vasoconstriction followed by rich arterial surge clears metabolic byproducts from strenuous trail days.
Medical-grade pneumatic compression boots and sleeves. Pulsing pressure sequences mimic the muscle pump of the legs, mobilizing interstitial fluids and revitalizing fatigued quads and calves.
Full-body medical irradiance arrays emitting therapeutic red and near-infrared wavelengths to penetrate deep muscle tissue, stimulate ATP energy synthesis, and expedite systemic tendon restoration.
Pair your cold plunge and compression sessions with accredited manual physical therapy, dry needling, and sports massage. HCP houses private clinical treatment studios operated by licensed Arkansas Valley professionals.
Built for full-time locals, weekend mountain athletes, and visiting adventurers. No hidden cancellation hoops or initiation barriers.
Select what aligns with your training calendar. Options include unlimited monthly memberships, multi-session contrast punch cards, and quick drop-in day passes after a Monarch Crest ride.
Every membership tier includes generous access to our Normatec dynamic compression lounge, lockers, clean private rinse showers, and mountain-filtered electrolyte replenishment.
Effortlessly reserve your contrast bench or private therapy suite from the trailhead or your desk via our upcoming web portal and iOS/Android mobile applications.
Pre-registered founding members receive lifetime locked rates on monthly memberships, priority session bookings, and invitation to our pre-launch open house week.
We partner with licensed, independent physical therapists, athletic trainers, and licensed sports massage therapists who operate directly out of HCP's private clinical rooms. It creates an unbroken continuum from injury diagnosis to acute recovery.
Specialized endurance rehabilitation, running gait analysis, dry needling, and high-altitude conditioning return protocols designed for mountain runners and mountain bikers.
Targeted myofascial release, deep tissue recovery, and neuromuscular techniques tailored specifically for climbers dealing with tendon strain and endurance athletes following big vert blocks.
We provide turnkey, professional clinical spaces with integrated patient access to contrast baths, showers, and waiting lounge inside our Salida facility.
