Base Therapies
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a relatively new tool that is just starting to be used to treat a myriad of health conditions. Studies coming out just in the last 10 years have shown it to be beneficial in boosting skin collagen, reduce inflammation and promoting hair growth, wound healing and pain management, reducing wrinkles and acne, and even improve cognition and
memory for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Red light therapy works by activating your mitochondria, or the powerhouse of the cell. With this boost to the energy center of the cell, the cells can do their jobs better, such as
healing and growth, more efficiently.
Cold Water Immersion Therapy
Cold Water Immersion (CWI) is not a new therapy, it’s been practiced for thousands of years. But in the last 20 years studies coming out have revealed an astounding list of benefits we had no idea about. Athletes & trainers have know about the basic benefits for some time, which are reducing inflammation, speeding recovery, reducing pain, and improved mood and alertness. But what we didn’t know is that this practice stimulates the body to release cold shock proteins. We now know that cold shock proteins cause a
series of benefits including preservation of muscle mass, a neuroprotective result that staves off Dementia & Alzheimer’s, as well as an anti-depressant
& anti-psychotic effect.
Infrared Sauna
The Infrared Sauna (Heat Therapy) is a new take on a very old time tested therapy. There are records of primitive types of heat therapy being used as early as 2,000 years BC. Many of the benefits are well know and range from reducing muscle soreness after intense workouts to detoxifying the body as happens while profusely sweating. As we use modern science to analyze what happens on a cellular level, even more benefits of this therapy are being revealed. Not the least of which is that this therapy stimulates the release of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) which have a wide ranging list of health protective benefits.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen while inside a chamber that is pressurized to a level higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood, which can help to fight infections, promote healing, and reduce inflammation.
