Recovery can mean a few different things. Did you go a bit too hard at the gym? Did you recently have surgery? Maybe stress is taking a toll on your body. Regardless of the cause, several science-backed therapies can help accelerate your recovery. Our experts break down your options to get you back to your routine faster and better than ever.
Whole Body Cryotherapy
Are you experiencing pain or soreness and want to improve the quality of your sleep? Cryotherapy may be able to help.
During a Whole Body Cryotherapy session, your entire body is safely exposed to freezing temperatures in a specialized chamber for up to three minutes. This sparks a natural “fight-or-flight response” that instructs blood vessels to constrict and restrict blood away from the extremities. This redirection causes your body to move blood toward the core, protecting your vital organs and increasing antioxidant capacity, oxygen and certain proteins.
When you exit the chamber, your body works hard to heat itself back up, and the improved circulation will help boost oxygen-rich blood flow and accelerate the recovery process. This provides a variety of recovery benefits, including reduced inflammation, pain and muscle soreness.1
Infrared Sauna
Do you hate being cold? Instead of Cryotherapy, you can relax with gentle heat from an Infrared Sauna session for muscle soreness and mental health benefits.
While traditional saunas use heated air to warm the body externally, Infrared Saunas penetrate the skin and heat the body from within through the use of infrared light. This heat penetration stimulates a few different physiological responses that are key to recovery, including an increase in immunity response, circulation, sweating and the activation of heat shock proteins, which help repair damaged cells, reduce inflammation and improve the overall health of your cells.
Infrared Sauna has also been demonstrated to be beneficial for alleviating joint and muscle pain and reducing stress and anxiety.2 Sessions are typically 45 minutes long, and you can unplug from the world or tune into your favorite podcast or music with Bluetooth speakers.
Red Light Therapy
Would you rather keep your recovery to 15 minutes or less?
With Red Light Therapy, you can spend 10-15 minutes using low levels of red and near-infrared light to power up your mitochondria, which are critical for healing and energy production.
This therapy can also help increase cellular growth and repair, nerve regeneration and muscle recovery while reducing inflammation, joint and muscle pain, back pain and the symptoms of chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It’s even been demonstrated to accelerate wound healing.3
Compression
What if you need a simple option for when your arms, legs or hips are sore after a workout?
Compression applies controlled pressure to help increase blood flow. How does this help your recovery? The cutting-edge technology used at Restore Hyper Wellness uses boots and sleeves to deliver compressed air as a massage to your extremities and hips. This process enhances blood flow to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to an injured or inflamed area of the body. Compression can help reduce swelling, optimize the lymphatic system, accelerate muscle recovery, support overall vein health necessary for recovery and improve physical performance.
IV Drip Therapy
Are you taking supplements for recovery? Did you know that eating and drinking only provide about 15-20% bioavailability? IV Drip Therapy, on the other hand, ensures 100% bioavailability of nutrients.
With IV Therapy, a Nurse inserts an intravenous infusion of essential vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and/or amino acids directly into your bloodstream through a vein in your arm.
You can choose a Drip from our IV menu or the Restore Nurse can customize a blend with nutrients to help strengthen your immune system and speed up your body’s recovery.
Do you love to multitask? You can get Compression on your legs while you get an IV Drip.
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
If you’d rather knock out a few emails or read a book during your recovery session at Restore, Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHbOT) is a great option.
During an mHbOT session, you'll breathe enhanced oxygen in a pressurized chamber to help increase oxygen absorption. This increased oxygen intake may help heal damaged tissue, strengthen the immune system, stimulate skin cell growth, reduce fatigue and improve sleep and cognitive function.
Enhanced oxygenation in a pressurized environment has also been found to help improve mood and reduce fatigue after high-intensity workouts, making it a potentially effective recovery tool for athletes or anyone training hard.3
