GHFC Recovery Room
The GHFC Recovery Room is all about Mental & Physical Wellness 101.
As long as you stick to the booked time limit you can choose between any combination of our:
• Self MyoFascial Release area (mats, stretching bands, foam rollers, massage balls, massage gun)
• Compression boots in reclining chairs
• Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna
• Thermostat-controlled plunge bath set at 8-degrees
We encourage you to leave your phones and watches at the door and take some “time out” to look after your mental health and “refill your cup” whilst working on your physical recovery & repair.
Make sure you arrive in time to sign the release, receive an intro and be ready to start on time. Please bring a water bottle and towel. Please wear workout gear (and optional cossie for the Sauna and ice bath).
Compression Boots
Ditch those sore muscles and upgrade your wellness routine with a restorative massage. These compression boots utilize compressed air to massage your limbs, leading to mobilized fluid and faster recovery and recuperation following intense exertion. We do also have access to a set of compression Arms or Back/Hips (only 1 can be used at a time), so let us know in advance if you'd prefer those in the room.
InfraRed Sauna
Infrared is not just about sweating and making yourself as hot and as uncomfortable as possible. The infrared penetrates deeply into your skin increasing blood flow, improving circulation, improving cell mitochondria efficiency in the body, increasing the production of Collagen in the skin; reducing pain and inflammation, assisting weight loss, improving mental health, and much more.
Cold Plunge Bath
Our thermostat-controlled plunge bath is set at 8 degrees. You can sit in it with legs outstretched so you get a total body effect. A cold plunge has been proven to affect the vagus/vagal nerve(s) which are the main nerves of your parasympathetic nervous system, which controls specific body functions such as your digestion, heart rate and immune system. The combination of hot and cold is believed to have immense benefit to mental health and clarity of thought.
Benefits of cold after heat
A shower or ice bath can do amazing things for the body, including improving mental sharpness, aiding fat loss, and improving memory function. Cold immersion therapy/cold plunge for 1-3mins is often called a super power, especially if following a hot sauna.
