Hydrotherapy Bed

A hydrotherapy bed is a therapeutic device that uses water pressure and heat to provide a full-body massage without the need to get wet. The bed’s jets and warm water help soothe muscles, relieve pain, and improve circulation, making it an effective treatment for conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle strain. By promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension, hydrotherapy beds can alleviate stress and anxiety. Additionally, they improve flexibility and joint mobility by loosening tight muscles, making them beneficial for both rehabilitation and general wellness. The warmth of the water also encourages better blood flow, aiding in the healing process and boosting overall energy levels.

Red Light Therapy Bed

A red light therapy bed uses low-level red and near-infrared light wavelengths to penetrate the skin, promoting various health benefits. This therapy stimulates cellular repair and boosts collagen production, making it highly effective for improving skin health, reducing wrinkles, and treating conditions like acne and eczema. Red light therapy can also enhance muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain by improving blood circulation and supporting tissue healing. Athletes and individuals with joint or muscle pain often use it to speed up recovery. Additionally, the therapy is believed to aid in boosting mood, improving sleep quality, and supporting overall immune function.

Shower Facilities

Our shower facilities at The Unit Recovery Centre are meticulously cleaned and maintained to ensure the highest standards of hygiene. We take pride in offering you a pristine and refreshing space where you can unwind and rejuvenate with confidence.

FAQs

The origins of the Hot Sauna & Ice Bath, a practice deeply rooted in wellness, align seamlessly with The Unit Recovery’s commitment to holistic health. Delve into the rich history of this timeless tradition, dating back to 500 B.C., where civilizations such as the ancient Romans, Egyptians, and Greeks indulged in invigorating cold baths. Saunas soon joined this health regimen, and it even found its place in ancient Chinese medicine. However, the refinement of this technique, as seen at Scandinavian spas and health resorts, is credited to the Nordic people. Their approach involves a 20-minute sauna session followed by a refreshing dip in cold water, creating a cycle of contrasting temperatures that rapidly constrict blood vessels, elevating blood pressure and delivering immediate physical and psychological benefits – a practice that resonates with The Unit Recovery’s dedication to your well-being.

Before planning your visit to The Unit Recovery, it’s helpful to know that we provide convenient parking facilities to ensure easy access. Additionally, we offer a range of recovery treatments designed for relaxation and muscle relief, allowing you to customize your experience based on your preferences and needs. Whether you’re interested in our infrared saunas, plunge pools, or both, we’re here to cater to your wellness journey. If you’ve recently worked out, our plunge pool can aid in post-exercise recovery, but remember to shower before use. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities, and we look forward to welcoming you to our facility for a tailored and rejuvenating experience.

When planning your visit to The Unit Recovery, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing suitable for recovery and wellness activities. Lightweight, breathable attire, such as swimwear is typically ideal for enjoying our facilities. It’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes to change into once you’ve plunged.

Additionally, don’t forget to bring suitable footwear, like flip-flops or sandals, for navigating the recovery area. Rest assured that our focus is on your comfort and relaxation, so you can dress in a way that makes you feel at ease during your visit.

The ideal duration for staying in an ice bath can vary depending on your personal comfort and preferences. Typically, a brief dip of 1 to 2 minutes is recommended, especially if you’re transitioning from a hot sauna or steam room. This quick immersion in cold water can be refreshing and invigorating. However, it’s essential to listen to your body – if you start to feel too cold or uncomfortable, it’s a sign to exit the ice bath. Remember that the primary goal is to experience the contrast in temperatures, which can stimulate muscle recovery and enhance your overall wellness.

The duration of time you should spend in a sauna can vary based on your tolerance for heat and your personal comfort. Generally, a sauna session can last anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes for most individuals. It’s crucial to listen to your body during the session. If you start to feel overheated, dizzy, or uncomfortable, it’s advisable to exit the sauna immediately and cool down. Remember to stay hydrated by drinking water before and after your sauna session. Ultimately, the key is to find a duration that suits your comfort level while still allowing you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the sauna, such as relaxation and muscle relief.

Cold water therapy seamlessly integrates with our recovery facilities at The Unit Recovery to enhance relaxation and alleviate muscle soreness and fatigue. One popular approach is to begin with a session in our infrared sauna, allowing the gentle warmth to ease tension in your muscles and joints. Following this rejuvenating warm-up, a refreshing dip in our cooling plunge pool not only invigorates but also stimulates muscle recovery, leaving you feeling remarkably refreshed.

Additionally, if you’ve just completed a workout, consider an ice bath session as a standalone remedy. Taking the plunge immediately after exercise can jumpstart your body’s recovery process, helping you avoid lingering soreness from strenuous workouts. Just remember to shower first if you’re transitioning from the gym to the ice bath. At The Unit Recovery, we offer versatile options to suit your wellness needs, ensuring you find the perfect combination of treatments for your personal journey to recovery and relaxation.
