Top Wellness Treatments for Athletes
Whether you consider yourself a recreational or professional athlete, you need to take care of your body to perform at your best.
Here’s a brief overview of our top 3 athletic performance and recovery treatments.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
When inflammation and old injuries make your sport less enjoyable, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy promotes healing by delivering purified oxygen to damaged tissues.
Whereas normal air consists of 21% oxygen, we pressurize our Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber to higher levels than normal air pressure. This increased pressure and high oxygen concentration allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen than usual, which helps to reduce inflammation, treat wounds, and eliminate fatigue.
During your HBOT treatment session, you relax and get comfortable in your private chamber. You can read a book, take a nap, or watch Netflix on one of our iPads to pass the time. We recommend undergoing approximately 5 to 10 treatment sessions depending on your health needs.
Cryotherapy
Who knew cold temperatures could be the key to athletic recovery! By increasing blood circulation, Cryotherapy kickstarts the body’s healing response to reduce inflammation and treat damaged tissues.
During your Cryotherapy treatment session, you step into our Cryochamber, where extreme cold temperatures increase your energy levels and reduce muscle soreness. We provide you with a facemask, ear muffs, mittens, and socks to keep you comfortable.
For each treatment session, we recommend guests enter our Cryochamber for 5 minutes to achieve optimal recovery. Many of our guests undergo 2 to 3 sessions a week for ongoing athletic support.
Lymphatic Compression Suit
Excess lymphatic fluids can make physical activity more painful, causing stiffness in our muscles and joints. Our experts recommend undergoing regular Lymphatic Massages using our Lymphatic Compression Suit to decrease the inflammation and swelling that keep you from performing at your best.
Our Lymphatic Compression Suit targets both the core and lower body depending on your health needs. We recommend frequent 60 to 90-minute treatment sessions to reduce fluid retention and support a full recovery.
