Faster Recovery for Athletes

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, recovery is an essential piece of the wellness puzzle. Read on for ways to recover from tissue breakdown, depletion of energy stores, fluid loss, soreness, joint pain & more than comes with being active!

FLOAT  FOR  YOUR  MUSCLES  & MIND

Floating requires no effort: 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts keep you afloat during 60-minute sessions. External stimuli & the effects of gravity are non-existent, easing joints, muscles & body, and promotes better blood circulation & endorphins -- the natural pain killer. Magnesium-rich water fights inflammation, raises antioxidant levels, replenishes energy stores in muscles & contributes to better sleep.

Floating helps your brain produce Theta waves, eliciting ultra-deep relaxation, stress relief & creativity. Floating helps with visualization techniques for positive goals.

CRYOTHERAPY: A BETTER ICE BATH

1- to 3-minute exposure to extreme cold (-130º to -184º F) temperatures, cryotherapy signals your brain to go into survival mode. That activates a central nervous system response, which releases endorphins. Blood vessels shrink & circulation to your organs improves to keep them warm.

Cryo eliminates toxins, stimulates cellular regeneration, decreases inflammation and like a deeper-reaching (and less uncomfortable) ice bath, helps with joint & muscle pain & overall recovery.

And, a session burns 500-800 extra calories! Elite athletes (St. Louis Blues & LeBron James), weekend warriors & even those with rheumatoid arthritis (for whom cryotherapy was invented) can benefit from cryo for recovery, weight management & stress relief.

RELIEVE PAIN & DETOX: INFRARED SAUNA

Detox, improve circulation & heart health, reduce pain, increase your metabolic rate to jumpstart weight loss, rejuvenate skin, reduce stress & cortisol levels.

Infrared heat reduces lactic acid, allowing tight muscles to relax, & can help ease muscle sprains (alternating with cold therapy).

Sweating rids the body of toxins (drugs, pollutants, pesticides & heavy metals), which improves immunity & health.

Sessions are safe, won't cause the skin to burn -- and each session burns 600+ calories. We can accommodate up to three people in our infrared sauna!

VITAMIN THERAPY: 100% ABSORPTION

Nutrition is the foundation of any healthy lifestyle. When taking oral vitamins, you only absorb 20-40% of the nutrients due to a variety of factors. With IV vitamin therapy, 100% of the nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream, where they can immediately be used by your body.

Our custom blends, which drip for 30-90 minutes, can help with overall nutrition, anti-aging, allergies/asthma, detoxification, hangovers, fatigue, viral infections, headaches & more.

We also offer intramuscular injections in St. Louis for key vitamins D & B12, and the antioxidant COQ10, as well as Vitamin D Light Therapy.

HALOTHERAPY (SALT THERAPY): BREATHE EASIER

Halotherapy, or salt therapy, has been around since the 18th century & helps with respiratory & skin condition symptoms, depression, mental lethargy & even sleep. Whether relaxing in our salt room or participating in a yoga or meditation class, micro-fine pharmaceutical-grade salt is diffused into the room.

When inhaled, salt boosts lung performance, relieves inflammation & loosens congestion to allow easier & improved breathing. When salt makes contact with your skin, it relieves sore, flakey, red & irritated skin. And, the negative ions from our pink Himalayan salt wall offsets harmful positive ions that are emitted from Wi-Fi and pollutants.

ACHIEVE RESULTS IN LESS TIME: WHOLE-BODY SOUND VIBRATION

A highly-effective, passive form of exercise, whole-body sound vibration (WBSV) uses sonic waves to gently force your muscles to contract & relax dozens of times each second.

Used by Russian cosmonauts to reverse the effects of bone & muscle loss in space, WBSV burns calories, improves muscle tone, skin, hair & nails, bone density & aids in weight loss. It's recommended for diabetes & pain management, mood stability, reducing cellulite, improving sleep & improving balance in older adults.
