Cold Plunge
Cold plunge therapy immerses your body in cold water (typically 45–55°F) for short intervals, triggering rapid blood vessel constriction, stress-hormone release, and activation of brown fat. Research on cold-water immersion suggests it can reduce perceived muscle soreness, influence inflammation markers, and support stress resilience and mood when used appropriately alongside training and recovery.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas use near-, mid- and far-infrared light to heat your body directly at lower, more comfortable temperatures (around 120–150°F) with low humidity, instead of just heating the air like a traditional sauna. Clinical studies show this deep, gentle heat can raise core temperature, increase heart rate and blood flow similar to light cardiovascular exercise, supporting detoxification, pain relief, and cardiovascular health when used regularly as part of an overall wellness plan.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared wavelengths (often 630–850 nm) to interact with mitochondria in your cells, a process known as photobiomodulation. Laboratory and clinical studies show these wavelengths can increase ATP production, improve circulation, and modulate inflammation pathways, which may support skin health, tissue repair, and recovery when used in consistent treatment protocols.
Float Tank
Float tanks are filled with warm, highly concentrated Epsom-salt water that lets you float effortlessly in a dark, quiet environment, dramatically reducing sensory input. Studies on flotation REST (restricted environmental stimulation therapy) have found reductions in perceived stress, anxiety, and pain, while many users report deeper relaxation, enhanced body awareness, and improved sleep quality.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy places you in a sealed chamber where air pressure is increased above normal levels while you breathe oxygen-rich air, allowing more oxygen to dissolve into your blood plasma. Medical research on HBOT has shown benefits for specific approved conditions by supporting tissue oxygenation and wound healing; wellness-focused mild chambers adapt this physiology to support recovery and brain health under professional guidance.
Cryotherapy
Whole-body cryotherapy exposes your skin to very cold air (often −110 to −150°C) for 2–3 minutes, rapidly cooling the surface while core temperature stays stable. Short, controlled cold stress like this has been shown to affect inflammatory markers, perceived pain, and recovery in athletes, and may trigger endorphin and norepinephrine release that contributes to mood and energy changes afterward.
IV Therapy
IV therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter, bypassing the digestive system for 100% bioavailability of the ingredients used. In medical settings, intravenous infusions are used for targeted hydration and nutrient replacement; wellness IV drips adapt these same principles to support energy, recovery, and immune function when administered by qualified clinicians.
Compression Therapy
Compression therapy uses inflatable sleeves or boots that rhythmically squeeze your limbs to encourage venous return and lymphatic drainage between pressure cycles. Sports science research suggests these pneumatic compression systems can reduce limb swelling, improve perceived recovery, and help clear metabolic byproducts after intense training when combined with a solid overall recovery plan.
PEMF Therapy
PEMF devices emit low-frequency, pulsed electromagnetic fields that pass through the body and interact with cells and tissues. Early clinical research indicates certain PEMF protocols can influence pain signaling, inflammation, and bone remodeling, which is why they’re used as an adjunct modality for pain management and recovery, often at relatively low intensities in wellness settings.
Contrast Therapy
Contrast therapy alternates periods of heat and cold exposure—such as sauna plus cold plunge—to repeatedly dilate and constrict blood vessels. Studies on contrast water therapy in athletes suggest this thermal cycling can reduce perceived muscle soreness, influence inflammation and circulation, and support recovery when timed appropriately around training sessions.
Salt Therapy
Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, involves breathing in micro-particles of pharmaceutical-grade salt in a controlled environment like a salt room or cave. Research suggests inhaling dry salt aerosol may help clear mucus, reduce inflammation in the airways, and support respiratory health while the mineral-rich environment can benefit skin conditions and promote relaxation.
