Ann-Marie Antic • October 16, 2024

Summary of Podcast #15 Journey to Wellness: Emma’s Insights on Recovery Tools like Salt Therapy and Saunas

Looking for a holistic approach to boost your health and wellness? Our latest D8 Training podcast episode features an enlightening conversation with Emma from the Smart Recovery and Wellness. Located in Keswick, this centre offers a range of natural therapies designed to enhance both physical and mental wellbeing.

Emma, founder and owner of Smart Recovery and Wellness, shares her insights on the various services available at the centre. From salt therapy to lymphatic drainage and infrared saunas, there's something for everyone. One of the standout features is the salt therapy rooms, which are 100% natural and highly beneficial for respiratory and skin conditions. Emma explains how children with conditions like asthma and croup have seen significant improvements, reducing their need for medication.

Another fascinating topic Emma delves into is the use of infrared saunas and ice baths, which are especially beneficial for those engaged in strength training. These therapies aren’t just for athletes—they’re great for anyone looking to improve their health. Infrared saunas, particularly those with red light therapy, are excellent for people with autoimmune conditions, offering programs that support cardiovascular health, detoxification, and pain relief. Meanwhile, ice baths are perfect for reducing inflammation, speeding up recovery after intense workouts, boosting mood, and increasing energy levels, making them ideal for strength trainers looking to optimise performance and recovery.

Mental health is another critical aspect discussed in this episode. Emma highlights how their services provide a space for clients to unwind and focus on self-care, which is essential for mental wellbeing. Whether it's the calming environment of the salt rooms or the invigorating experience of an ice bath, these therapies offer a mental reset that many find invaluable.

The Smart Recovery and Wellness also offers lymphatic drainage using the Normatec system, and it’s like getting a soothing massage after a tough session! This therapy boosts circulation, reduces fluid retention, and enhances flexibility—perfect for easing DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) after a resistance training workout. It's also a favourite among clients with conditions like restless legs or lymphedema, helping them feel lighter and more energised.

Smart Recovery and Wellness dedication to personalised care is evident throughout our conversation. She emphasises the importance of understanding each client's unique needs and tailoring treatments to achieve the best possible outcomes. This personalised approach ensures that everyone, from athletes to busy mums, can benefit from the centre's services.
