Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you but instead use infrared lamps to warm your body directly. An infrared sauna can operate at a lower temperature than a traditional sauna making the experience more comfortable. The infrared heat is thought to penetrate the body more effectively than warmed air. Benefits of using infrared sauna include relief from muscular soreness and joint pain, improved circulation, detoxification, better sleep, and stress reduction.
The Normatec line combines dynamic air compression with a patented Pulse massage pattern that effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs. It can help relieve muscle aches and/or pain and temporarily increase circulation resulting in increased flexibility and range of motion, injury prevention, and accelerated recovery time.
Many people are inefficient exercisers, with no understanding of how heart rate, intensity, or duration would best help them reach their specific goals such as losing weight, endurance training, or cardio conditioning. A VO₂ Max Test gives you measurements in different categories for a better workout. After your test at BodyFX, you will receive an individualized exercise plan based on your results.
Graston Technique is an evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively and efficiently address soft tissue lesions and fascial restrictions that leads to restoration of pain-free movement and function.
Myofascial decompression, or cupping technique, is a form of alternative therapy that is designed to manipulate soft tissues to promote blood flow to an affected area to allow healing.
RockTape and KTape are brands of kinesiotape which is used to support joints and relieve pain in muscles by reducing swelling, increasing stability, promoting mobility, and/or improving pain.
A functional movement assessment is beneficial to help identify and determine movement dysfunction. It is important to identify and correct dysfunctional movement and biomechanics before they create injury.
If an imbalance is found during the movement assessment, corrective exercises can be implemented to help improve faulty movement patterns and restore a more optimized pattern. Corrective exercises aid to decrease risk of injury and optimize performance in sport-specific training.
