RESET WITH COMPRESSION THERAPY😊

❓Have you tried starting your recovery protocol with compression therapy?

Often described as one of our most relaxing modalities, 30 mins of compression therapy acts as the perfect transition from the hustle and bustle of life. 🧘‍♀️

Compression therapy acts similarly to a massage to increase circulation, remove waste products, and reduce swelling. 🤸‍♀️

The NormaTec boots we use are the most scientifically backed compression products available an utilise a dynamic air compression system to apply pneumatic pressure to different areas of the body. 💆🏻

This restorative technology gives you space to mentally decompress before going into an infrared sauna, ice bath or NuCalm session and allows you to make the most of your time in the studio.👍

Try pairing your usual modality with compression and tell us what you think!😄

Don't forget to make time to check in with yourself 💭

Self care isn't selfish, it's essential - you can't pour from an empty cup ✨

✨🧠 Although today is 'R U OK? Day' - every day is a good day to check in on not only your friends, family and work mates, but also yourself! 🧠✨

If you're not sure where to start - first, check in on yourself.
Are you ready to reach out and willing to genuinely listen?
Are you prepared for their response?
Have you picked your moment to speak to them in a private and safe space?

When checking in on someone, remember the abbreviation 'ALEC'
Ask R U OK? 🗣️
Listen with an open mind 🧠
Encourage action 💪
Check in 💛

Another awesome review, this time from Beau. We're so happy to hear your feedback!😁

Embarking on your cold water therapy journey? Fantastic! 😄

Just remember, the Afterdrop is a real thing. After your dip, your core temperature may continue to drop. ⬇️

Respect the chill and don't be a hero by staying in too long, especially when starting out.👍

⚠️ Dangers of Overstaying: Afterdrop can lead to shivers, discomfort, and, in extreme cases, even hypothermia. Your wellness journey is about balance, not pushing limits. Start slow, listen to your body, and gradually extend your sessions.

🕒 Ease into the Cold: Begin with shorter sessions and gradually build up. 11 minutes a week is all it takes to reap the benefits without overstaying your icy welcome. Your recovery is a marathon, not a sprint! 🏃‍♂️❄️

After completing your session, resist the urge to hop into a hot shower immediately—opt for a cold shower first (warmer than our ice bath). This helps rinse off, and then you can dry off and dress. Let your body gradually warm up over the next thirty to sixty minutes for optimal recovery. 💚

NUCALM - WHAT DOES IT DO??? 🧠

Out of all the modalities that we offer, NuCalm is the one that new members know the least about. So, we thought we would explain what happens during your NuCalm session. ✨

When in use, NuCalm® works to slow brainwaves to the frequency of the first stages of sleep and create parasympathetic nervous system dominance. 🧠

It does not rely on audio entrainment to do all the work. Instead, NuCalm® uses biosignaling to neutralize the stress response and then uses the world’s most sophisticated physics entrainment to ‘lock you into’ deep relaxation. 🧘

Within moments of application, users begin to feel relief from the ‘fight-or-flight’ sympathetic nervous system response and stress hormones (cortisol) levels begin to decline as the HPA axis is inhibited. ❌

Some amazing hormonal and cellular effects from heat stress from an Infrared Sauna. The heat stress from an infrared sauna can stimulate fascinating hormonal and cellular responses:

Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs): These proteins, released during heat stress, help with cellular repair and protection. Regular use of saunas, especially infrared saunas, can enhance the production of heat shock proteins due to the repeated exposure to heat stress. This increase in HSPs could potentially contribute to improved cellular function and resilience to stress, which might be one of the mechanisms behind the health benefits associated with regular sauna use.

Norepinephrine Release (NE): Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, is a vital hormone and neurotransmitter in the human body. Understanding its release and function is crucial in many physiological contexts, including the response to activities like sauna bathing. This increase in norepinephrine can aid in focus and mood improvement post-sauna. Exposure to the heat in a sauna can trigger the release of norepinephrine. The body perceives heat as a form of stress, which activates the sympathetic nervous system. Benefits: The release of NE in response to sauna use can lead to increased alertness, better mood, and a sense of invigoration. It may also contribute to the stress-relief effects attributed to sauna bathing. Regulation of Blood Pressure: As a hormone, it helps to regulate blood pressure by causing blood vessels to constrict. Due to its role in blood pressure regulation, NE is important in cardiovascular health. Its dysregulation can lead to issues like hypertension.

More and more research is coming out around the fantastic benefits of regular infrared sauna use weekly. How often do you sauna each week?
