The Recovery Room

The modalities that keep you doing what you love

As we age, our body slowly asks us to give things up. That third day of pickleball you've quietly stopped playing because your lower back can’t take it? It gets called age, but really it’s your recovery capacity - how efficiently your body clears out and repairs muscles and tissue after you've asked it to perform. The good news is that’s something you can support rather than ignore and avoid.

The solution is never to stop doing what you love because it’s causing you discomfort. We never tell a runner not to run or a grandmother not to get on the floor with her grandkids. Our goal is to increase your body’s recovery capacity to allow you to keep doing the things you love, pain-free.

• Heat exposure from the infrared sauna opens up circulation and loosens tissue that's been tight for years. Bonus: your heart rate climbs to handle the heat, so you're getting cardiovascular work without adding stress or load on your joints.

• Cold exposure does the opposite by constricting blood vessels to reduce inflammation. When you use the two for contrast therapy, it amplifies circulation by pushing blood throughout the system to take the edge off soreness.

• Red Light Therapy & the PEMF mat work at the cellular level. Red Light Therapy penetrates into the tissue where your cells absorb it to produce more energy while the PEMF prompts similar repair with low level magnetic pulses. This is a great passive way to work on joint pain, stiffness, and tissue that's slow to repair.
