THERAPY DEPARTMENT
ARX (Adaptive Resistance Exercise) What it is: A strength training machine that uses motors instead of weights to give you the perfect resistance on every rep. How it works: ARX adapts in real time to your strength — pushing harder when you’re strong and backing off when you’re not. This means you get the maximum muscle stimulation without the risk of injury from dropping weights. Good for: Safe and efficient strength training, rehab, and anyone short on time but serious about results.

Cryotherapy (localized)
Cupping Therapy What it is: A traditional method that uses suction cups on the skin to help with recovery and pain relief. How it works: The cups create a vacuum that lifts the skin and underlying tissues. This helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and move built-up waste or tension out of the muscles. Good for: Sore muscles, stress relief, tight fascia, and circulation.
Dry Needling What it is: A technique using thin, acupuncture-style needles to treat muscle pain. How it works: The needle is inserted directly into a tight or painful muscle (called a “trigger point”) to help it relax. This improves blood flow, reduces tension, and decreases pain. Good for: Muscle knots, chronic pain, stiffness, and tension headaches.
E-Stim (Electrical Stimulation) or Muscle Stimulation What it is: A therapy that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate muscles and nerves. How it works: Small pads are placed on the skin, and a machine sends controlled electrical signals to the area. This can help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and retrain muscles that aren’t firing correctly. Good for: Muscle recovery, nerve pain, injury rehab, and pain management.
EWOT (Exercise With Oxygen Therapy) What it is: A performance and recovery method where you breathe concentrated oxygen while exercising. How it works: You wear a mask connected to an oxygen supply while doing light cardio. The extra oxygen helps your cells work more efficiently, improves V02 max, improves circulation, and boosts recovery. Good for: Increasing energy, speeding up recovery, enhancing brain function, and improving endurance.
Graston Technique What it is: A form of instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy using metal tools. How it works: A trained provider uses smooth-edged instruments to gently scrape the skin over tight or injured areas. This breaks up scar tissue, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing. Good for: Chronic pain, tendonitis, scar tissue, and stiff muscles.
Infrared & Near Infrared Light Therapy (Panel & Bed) What it is: A therapy using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support healing, recovery, and energy production at the cellular level. How it works: You sit, stand, or lie down near a panel or inside a bed that shines red light onto your body. The light penetrates the skin and helps your cells make more energy (ATP), which can reduce inflammation and support repair. Good for: Skin health, joint pain, muscle recovery, energy, sleep, and overall inflammation reduction.
Kinesio Taping What it is: A stretchy, breathable tape applied to the skin to support muscles and joints without limiting movement. How it works: The tape lifts the skin slightly, which can reduce pressure and swelling while also giving feedback to your body on how to move better. It stays on during activity and can last for days. Good for: Muscle support, joint stability, swelling reduction, and posture correction.
NEUBIE (Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulator) What it is: A high-tech electrical stimulation device that “talks” directly to your nervous system. How it works: It sends direct current (DC) signals through pads placed on your skin to help re-train how your brain communicates with your muscles. This can rapidly improve strength, reduce pain, and speed up recovery. Good for: Rehab after injuries, muscle re-education, chronic pain, and improving movement patterns.
RMR Test (Resting Metabolic Rate) What it is: A test that shows how many calories your body burns at rest — basically, your baseline metabolism. How it works: You relax while breathing into a machine for 10–20 minutes. It measures your oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output to calculate how much energy your body needs at rest. Good for: Weight loss, muscle gain, or anyone who wants to eat smarter by knowing their true calorie needs.
Shockwave Therapy What it is: A non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing. How it works: A device sends strong acoustic pulses into painful or injured tissue (like tendons, muscles, or joints). These pulses help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and trigger your body’s natural healing response. Good for: Chronic pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, muscle tightness, and stubborn injuries.
Ultrasound Therapy What it is: A treatment using sound waves (not audible to the ear) to treat deep tissues in the body. How it works: A handheld device is moved over the skin with gel, sending sound waves into the muscles and joints. This helps increase circulation, reduce swelling, and speed up healing. Good for: Tendonitis, joint inflammation, scar tissue, and soft tissue injuries.
VibraCussor Therapy What it is: A handheld device that delivers rapid, targeted vibrations to soft tissue. How it works: The VibraCussor sends gentle, pulsing vibrations deep into muscles and fascia to release tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain. It can also help reset nerve signals and improve joint motion. Good for: Muscle stiffness, scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and improving range of motion.
VO₂ Max Test What it is: A test that measures how much oxygen your body can use during exercise — a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness. How it works: You wear a mask that measures your breathing while biking with increasing intensity. It tells you how well your heart, lungs, and muscles perform together. Good for: Athletes, runners, or anyone wanting to know their fitness level or train smarter with heart rate zones.
