what’s included in our

protocols

infrared sauna

The infrared sauna is a type of hot therapy that uses infrared rays to penetrate your body and produce heat. When you sit in the sauna, the infrared rays penetrate your skin and raise your body temperature, which has several benefits for your health.

compression

Compression boots use compressed air to mimic the massage effect, creating pressure at various points across the leg. It increases blood flow and enhances lymphatic drainage, removing waste products.

contrast therapy

Immerse yourself in the warmth of hot spas and contrast, with invigorating coolness of cold plunges. The alternating process redirects blood flow between the internal organs & extremities leading to a number of health benefits

COMPRESSION

THE BENEFITS

Improve circulation, enhance lymphatic drainage, increase flexibility and joint range of motion, allow faster recovery after intense workouts, relax and unwind. It’s also related to the prevention of blood clots, being used in patients recovering from leg surgeries.

THE EQUIPMENT

Our NORMATEC boots use 7 levels of dynamic air compression delivered on 5 overlapping zones to create a restorative massage that replicates the natural muscle pumps

  • Infrared saunas penetrate deep into the skin, inducing a deep sweat that helps eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and pollutants from the body. This detoxification process can support overall health and well-being.

  • The heat from infrared saunas increases blood flow, promoting better circulation throughout the body. This can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs, aiding in their optimal functioning.

  • Infrared heat penetrates deeply into muscles, joints, and tissues, providing soothing relief for chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle soreness. It helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve joint mobility.

  • Infrared saunas induce an increased heart rate and metabolic activity, similar to moderate exercise. This can result in burning calories, aiding in weight loss efforts, and supporting a healthy metabolism.

  • Infrared therapy stimulates collagen production, promoting healthier, more youthful-looking skin. It can improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and cellulite.

  • The heat generated by infrared saunas helps relax muscles and promotes the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. It can reduce stress, anxiety, and promote better sleep patterns, leading to improved overall mental well-being.

  • Infrared saunas can activate and boost your body's immune response. By increasing core body temperature, they stimulate the production of white blood cells, strengthening the immune system's ability to fight off illnesses and infections.

  • Regular use of infrared saunas is associated with improvements in cardiovascular health, such as reduced blood pressure and improved heart function. It can enhance cardiac output, increase blood vessel dilation, and improve overall cardiovascular fitness.

contrast

THE DETAILS

Our therapy utilizes precise temperature ranges, based on scientific research and recommendations from renowned experts in the field. Immerse yourself in the therapeutic warmth of our hot sessions, ranging between 100-110°F (37-43°C). In contrast, experience the invigorating coolness of our cold sessions, set between 50-60°F (10-16°C).

THE BENEFITS

Targeted application of temperature contrast has been shown to accelerate recovery from injuries, aid in post-workout muscle repair, and alleviate chronic pain conditions. The alternating process redirects blood flow between the internal organs and extremities, potentially leading to reduced swelling, decreased inflammation, improved sleep, enhanced circulation, relief from depression, and an overall sense of well-being.

It's important to note that individual experiences may vary, and it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating infrared sauna, compression or contrast therapies into your routine - especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.
