The Benefits of Hydro Massage Therapy

Performance 360’s Hydro Massage Room

Feel the burn, then simmer down

For many, leaving the gym with sore muscles is a badge of honour. You pushed yourself, you felt the burn and now your body is working hard to repair and strengthen those target areas. No pain, no gain, as they say. Fast-forward to a few hours later, and the stiffness sets in. You’re stranded on the toilet after leg day, cursing your trainer again. You think to yourself, “Gee, maybe I should tone down my workout next time, because I’m really paying for it now.” To this, we reply with a hard “NO!” Perhaps it’s not the intensity of your workouts, but the quality of your cool-down.

Post-Workout To-Do

Hydrate – Refuel – Stretch – Breathe – Massage.

If you aren’t familiar with the benefits of stretching after your workout get up to speed. If you lead an active lifestyle, chances are you already incorporate stretching into your routine. But there is so much more to a post-workout cool-down than stretching alone.

We won’t open the Pandora’s Box of post-workout nutrition and dietary needs. But if you’re new to the topic, here’s a great starting point. Or visit our Chiller Juice Bar for advice and try one of our freshly prepared, tasty recovery drinks.

We will, however, urge you to try the most relaxing, luxurious feature of our fitness club: HydroMassage. Not only does it feel incredible, but having a post-workout massage is proven to reduce lactic acid build-up and even promote cellular processes that contribute to a healthier recovery.

Cool-down by Warming-Up

What is HydroMassage?

HydroMassage is an invigorating, warm hug for your muscles. It’s comparable to soaking in the jets of a hot tub, without the inconvenience of getting wet. Picture yourself sinking into a comfortable, ergonomic, perfectly contoured recliner seat. You can dim the lights, press a button, and the chair itself gives you a thorough, posterior rubdown. Just below the surface of the clean leather exterior, a barrage of water jets will roll their way from your neck to your ankles or vice versa. Your muscles will feel like they’ve been kneaded into supple dough. HydroMassage offers instant relief of tightness, soreness, and even crankiness. Afterwards, you’ll feel a lasting warmth and elevated mood. Your body deserves a reward after all that physical exertion.

Massage for All

Whether you’re a massage therapy enthusiast, or cringe at the thought of someone touching your back, we guarantee HydroMassage will satisfy. It can supplement regular massage therapy if your RMT had to cancel or even if you just want a massage fix between appointments. If you’ve never had a massage because the personal interaction doesn’t appeal to you, HydroMassage requires no chitchat and the only touching happening is between you and the electronic touch-screen. You will be at ease in every way.
