Peak performance is enhanced by active recovery. The difference between the greatest tennis players in the world and the very good ones has not been found in their training or even genetics, but in the speed and depth of their recovery. Whilst some of this is a mental training and practice (which we can teach at Pulsar Health as part of the Eternal Vitality coaching program), there are physical tools to help in active recovery too. 

Cryotherapy

Cold therapy has long been used by top athletes as images of tough Eastern Europeans Olympians taking ice baths remind us. Descendants of the Vikings, the people of the Scandinavian countries use coal-fired steam rooms, saunas and icy plunges not just for optimizing their health, but to feel alive! We have made this less messy and more tunable using Cryotherapy and our Infrared Sauna. Pulsar Health's state-of-the-art CryoCabin not only provides the "normal" cryotherapy temperature of around -168 degrees Fahrenheit, but bolus doses can take it well below the -200s for the more intense practitioners of cold therapy. We have a built-in infra-red camera and elevator, so that your head can be outside of the cooling chamber. The treatment lasts up to 3 minutes, and we are with you the whole time you are in the CryoCabin. Beginners should start with one or two minutes. Given time to change into the gowns and special booties / gloves, the whole process only takes about 15 minutes.

Cyotherapy can reduce inflammation in the body. It has a "flushing" effect where blood vessels are squeezed down due to the cold, and then as they open back up again, they can bring new blood to help healing. This is enhanced by using the sauna after the cryotherapy, but be sure to drink plenty of fluids afterwards.

The vibrating plate can also augment the effects of cryotherapy by increasing circulation of the blood. In addition, vibrating plates have been shown to improve bone density as well as burn calories.

Cryotherapy can burn up to 600 Calories in three minutes. Afterwards you feel tingly, and most people sleep really well that night.

It isn't suitable for everyone, and we have a consent form that will cover those safety features. You need to have your extremities protected to avoid injury, and keep communicating with us during the process to make sure you are enjoying the experience and benefits.

Infrared Sauna 

Pulsar Health's cedar wood dry heat sauna can seat one or two and has multiple different light settings that offer various benefits (see the chromotherapy chart below). Our sauna is from Jacuzzi and classified as an infrared sauna. True infrared saunas don't just heat the air within the sauna; they heat the body directly with infrared wavelengths. Most infrared saunas only include far infrared wavelengths, but Pulsar Health's sauna has front facing heaters that provide the full spectrum of near, mid and far infrared, whilst the combination mica/carbon heaters on the back and sides of the sauna release low EMF far infrared wavelengths. 

In addition, light therapy can be used to augment the experience and results. High-output chromotherapy comes in different colors. The color spectrum is:

We do offer infrared, red and blue LED light therapy separately from the sauna as we also use it in conjunction with other treatments in the Spa and Med Spa (facials, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation med spa treatments, ...).

Our wonderful sauna has surround sound for an immersive experience. In addition, you can combine it with a body wrap for detoxification or softening your skin. We offer body wraps with muds from Europe - firming, detoxifying, soothing, or deeply hydrating - or you can simply shower off in our beautiful rain shower for a relaxing, rejuvenating experience that releases muscle tension as well as enhances your skin glow, health, recovery and feeling of well-being.

Vitamin Shots and Skinny Shots

At this time, Pulsar Health only offers Vitamin B12 shots but we hope to add more vitamins and nutrients in bolus as well as iv therapy in the near future. Ideally, vitamin replacement should be guided by lab test results, and we can order labs for you if desired.

Skinny Shots refer to our weight optimization program using Tirzepatide - please see the "Weight Optimization" section. We have had a lot of success with this program in turning around people's health as well as improving their appearance and energy levels.
