Contrast Therapy

Hot and cold contrast water therapy is a popular therapeutic intervention that involves alternating hot and cold water treatment. This therapy has many benefits for all people, including athletes. Here are some of the benefits of hot and cold contrast water therapy:

  • Reduces muscle fatigue
  • Decreases pain
  • Improves circulation
  • Enhances tissue waste-product transportation that reduces edema
  • Improves healing
  • Increases muscle strength post-recovery
  • Reduces oedema by alternating peripheral vasoconstriction and vasodilation
  • Improves intramuscular hemodynamics

Infrared Sauna Therapy

Infrared sauna therapy has many potential health benefits for all people, including athletes. Here are some of the benefits of infrared sauna therapy:

  • Improved overall health and wellness
  • Reduced stress and anxiety- Soothing inflammation
  • Improved exercise recovery- Improved sleep
  • Detoxification- Weight loss
  • Relief from sore muscles and joint pain
  • Improved circulation
  • Clear and tighter skin
  • Improved muscle recovery following physical activity
  • Improved intramuscular hemodynamics
  • Improved heart health and reduced blood pressure

Infrared sauna therapy works by emitting infrared light into the body, which is absorbed by the tissues and converted into heat energy. This heat energy can help relax muscles, soothe inflammation, and improve circulation. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you, but instead use infrared lamps to warm your body directly. This makes infrared saunas a good choice for people who can’t tolerate the high temperatures of traditional saunas. While there are several studies and research on traditional saunas, more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of infrared sauna therapy.

Float Pod Therapy

Float pod therapy is a popular treatment among athletes and sports recovery facilities due to its many potential benefits. Here are some of the benefits of float pod therapy for athletes and all people:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved emotional wellness
  • Reduced muscle tension
  • Improved circulation
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Improved skin health
  • Faster muscle recovery
  • Reduced muscle fatigue
  • Improved intramuscular hemodynamics
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Reduced risk of injury
  • Improved mental focus and concentration

Float pod therapy involves floating in a bed-sized container, called a pod, that’s devoid of all light and sound. This type of sensory deprivation therapy is actually decently researched and has been available for more than 50 years. Researchers have begun to explore how float pod therapy can aid with recovery in athletes. A small pilot study published in the journal Performance Enhancement and Health of 60 elite athletes found float pod therapy to be an effective way for athletes to recover physically and mentally from exercise. At The Rehab Lab, we offer float pod therapy to help our clients reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance recovery. Our expert staff will guide you through the process and ensure that you receive personalized care and attention throughout your session.

IV Drip Therapy

IV drip therapy is a popular treatment among athletes and sports recovery facilities due to its many potential benefits. Here are some of the benefits of IV drip therapy for athletes and all people:

  • Improved hydration
  • Boosted energy levels
  • Improved immune system function
  • Improved mental clarity
  • Improved emotional wellness
  • Faster recovery from illness
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Faster recovery from intense workouts or competitions
  • Improved muscle growth and recovery
  • Reduced muscle fatigue
  • Improved intramuscular hemodynamics
  • Flushing out free radicals

IV drip therapy involves injecting fluids, electrolytes, and other essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream via a needle. This process ensures instant and complete absorption of the nutrients, making them available for immediate use. IV drip therapy can be customized to meet individual needs, and it is a safe and effective way to deliver nutrients, vitamins, and medications to the body. At The Rehab Lab, we offer IV drip therapy in combination with other treatments, such as NormaTec Compression Therapy, to enhance the benefits of both treatments. Our expert staff will guide you through the process and ensure that you receive personalized care and attention throughout your session.

Red light Therapy

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red light to improve the health and appearance of the skin. It penetrates the skin at a cellular level and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for healthy skin. Here are some of the benefits of red light therapy:

  • Increases collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength, and elasticity.
  • Reduces inflammation.
  • Improves circulation to tissues in the body.
  • Promotes tissue repair.
  • Reduces pain.
  • Enhances skin rejuvenation.
  • Improves skin appearance.
  • Promotes hair growth.

Red light therapy is already widely medically accepted in its use in photodynamic therapy. In this therapy, low-power red laser light is used to activate a photosensitizer drug. The interaction creates a chemical reaction that destroys cells. It’s used to treat some skin conditions, including skin cancer and psoriasis, acne, and warts, and other types of cancer[4]. Red light therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that can be used to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber or tube. The air pressure in the chamber is increased 2 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure, allowing the lungs to gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. This extra oxygen helps fight bacteria and triggers the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing. Some of the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:

  • Accelerated healing**: HBOT can help speed up the healing of wounds, infections, and injuries by providing the body with the extra oxygen it needs to repair tissues and restore normal body function.
  • – Improved blood flow**: HBOT increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry, which encourages normal tissue oxygen levels and promotes the formation of new blood vessels.
  • **Reduced inflammation**: HBOT can help reduce inflammation in the body, which can be beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and autoimmune disorders.
  • **Treatment of specific medical conditions** : HBOT is approved by the FDA to treat a range of conditions, including decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, and severe anemia.

Overall, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be a useful treatment option for a variety of medical conditions, and it has been shown to have a range of benefits for the body.
