Whether you are dealing with sore muscles after starting a new fitness program, challenging yourself during your workouts, or simply dealing with daily post-work muscle tension there are many ways you can help alleviate aches and pains.
- Melt pain away in our private Far Infrared Sauna. The benefits of the Far Infrared Sauna include increased circulation, whole body detoxification, pain relief, and much more! Alone or added to a massage or after a personal training session, you will feel the benefits immediately.
- Take a Calcium/Magnesium supplement such as our PhytoCal-Mag Plus. Both calcium and magnesium are essential for proper muscle function and relaxation. The body absorbs and utilizes Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Citrate at a much higher level than other forms of calcium and magnesium.
- Try a Topical Supplement such as our SOS Recover Acute gel (designed for acute pain relief such as that which occurs from muscle strain or sports injuries) and SOS Recover Chronic Cream (designed to relieve persistent muscle soreness and tension)
- Take a Mineral Salt Bath. Soaking in a bath rich in minerals helps the body hydrate muscle tissue and detoxify lactic acid build-up. Our SOS Soak is rich in natural Andean minerals. Try adding a few drops of a relaxing essential oil to your bath such as Lavender, Frankincense, or Chamomile for additional relief.
- Try Yoga or Pilates! Learning proper stretching and breathing techniques can ease stress levels and muscle aches as well as improve posture. We offer group yoga classes along with private yoga and pilates instruction to best serve your individual needs.
- Massage of course! What better way to relieve pain and muscle tension than to have one of our therapists massage it away for you? Try our Peak Performance Wrap and Sports Massage for targeted relief and recovery as you work towards your fitness goals.
- Add our All-Natural Whey Protein Powder to your daily routine for faster muscle recovery and increased muscle mass. Mix a scoop or two of delicious Chocolate or Vanilla powder into a smoothie for the perfect post-workout drink to build muscle and increase metabolism. Add ground flax seeds for additional fiber, protein, and Omega fatty acids.
- Drink more water! The more hydrated your muscles are, the easier it is for them to detoxify lactic acid and function properly. Add SOS Hydrate homeopathic drops to your water bottle to increase how much water your cells absorb- make the most of the water you drink!
- Come in for a Fitness Evaluation and Postural Analysis to learn what you can do to maximize the results and decrease pain during your workouts.
