MASSAGE

At Squad 101 we’ve all been there… That unbelievable soreness & pain we feel in our joints & muscles after a workout that makes us rethink getting fit, lose motivation, & want to abandon exercise altogether. The unpleasant pains & aches that come from delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can hinder our efforts to get back to our daily activities.

Well, we have the answer for you: Squad 101’s on-camp restorative massages - as the benefits of getting post-workouts restorative massages are immensely beneficial, from reducing soreness & stress to increasing blood flow & energy levels, mid-week restorative massages are a must!

Many things start to happen to your body after working out, & how your body recovers from this is dependent on the level of fitness you are at. After a workout, your body starts going back to its recovery mode as soon as possible, because your body is in a state of shock after a workout as your muscles have created microtears.

However, the more you push to increase the boundaries of your fitness, the more your body gets used to it & is able to better handle the changes allowing your body to rebuild itself over time. To help recover quicker we invest in deep restorative post-workout massages!

RESTORATIVE POST-WORKOUT MASSAGE BENEFITS

RESTORATIVE POST-WORKOUT MASSAGE BENEFITS

Speeds Up Muscle Recovery

Having a post-workout massage will help reduce athletic injuries as it massages the deep tissue, improving your flexibility, & reducing your risk for injuries.

Your muscles require good circulation in order for cells to start to rebuild. Therefore, by increasing circulation, more blood is flowing to the muscles.

Essentially, what you’re doing is allowing the blood to rush to the muscles which in turn, will help them recover quicker.

You could always ask your massage therapist to work on any pressure points that you would have trouble with such as, hips, calves, hamstrings, etc.

Decrease Post-Workout Inflammation

Inflammation is caused by damaged tissues in your body causing occasional swelling. Inflammation reduces the blood flow which allows your muscles to heal properly. By getting a post-workout massage, the blood flow to your muscles improves & reduces inflammation.

Improves Blood Circulation

Having a healthy circulation will not only help reduce inflammation but will improve your overall health too. An extremely beneficial & highly important factor for all of the organs, good blood flow is the secret that keeps us healthy, & looking & feeling young! Improved blood flow helps boost your immunity to reduce headaches; elevating your workouts, resulting in increased energy & fantastic health.

Reduces Stress & Anxiety

We all suffer from stress & anxiety from daily life. Being subjected to these everyday pressures takes its toll & we can end up neglecting our bodies. By getting a massage, you’re putting your body in complete relaxation mode, which is perfect for reducing stress, anxiety, & improving your mood. The three key chemicals in your brain that help to improve your mood, serotonin, noradrenalin, & dopamine, increase significantly after a workout & a massage.

Quick Pain Relief

Post-workout, your muscles are in overdrive, strained, & tense, which results in aches & pains. The good news is, just a few minutes of massage helps relieve tension & pain. Ask your massage therapist to focus on the areas where you have the most tension.

SAUNA

Heat therapies have been associated with health & wellness for thousands of years, fortunately enough now the remedial effects of saunas have made them a common feature in top wellness & sporting facilities.
 
Here at Squad 101 the health benefits of sauna are extensive & accessible. Whilst those with an existing heart condition should always consult their health professional before hitting the sauna, for the average healthy individual, saunas offer a wealth of health benefits & are an excellent recovery tool after exercise.

SAUNA BENEFITS

SAUNA BENEFITS

Muscle Recovery

Using a sauna is effectively immersive heat therapy. As such it is a powerful method to relax muscle contraction & inflammation following exercise. The whole-body heat therapy provided by using a sauna is an efficient way to relax muscles & loosen muscular contraction, which lessens muscle aches after strenuous exercise. The release of compounded tension & muscle tightening can in turn help to avoid injury. By increasing blood flow, saunas enhance the availability of fresh blood cells throughout the body, providing the availability of oxygen to the muscles. Oxygen availability is a vital component in muscle function & particularly important in aiding muscular recovery.

Detoxification

Despite the extensive health-giving benefits of exercise, the application of stressors to the body during a workout does cause the reactive release of oxidants. Free radicals are released by cellular mechanisms responding to impact & cardio-muscular stress – specifically reactive oxygen & nitrogen species (RONS). The detoxification effect of sauna use makes it another beneficial incentive for sporty individuals. As saunas enhance circulation to the surface of the skin, this encourages the body’s natural detoxification process & oxidative by-products & toxins are released through the sweat. Aiding the body’s natural detoxification process further helps to counteract the oxidant by-products of strenuous exercise, enhancing the benefits & aiding overall recovery.

Cardiovascular Benefits

Research has found that improving heart health is one of the benefits of sitting in a sauna. Researchers have found that it helps the heart, & mimic the circulatory benefits of exercise. The immersive heat raises the heart rate, causing blood circulation to be boosted throughout the body. Researchers have further discovered that saunas may improve the health of cells within the heart arteries, specifically by boosting the strength of cells that form the artery lining. Alongside the well-documented heart benefits provided by exercise, a sauna further enhances cardiovascular health.

Benefits the Lungs

Cardiovascular exercise opens the lungs & can enhance lung volume due to the additional requirements for oxygen during physical exertion. The dry heat & vapors supplied by a sauna effectively help further open & cleanse the lungs, loosening mucus & toxins from the sinuses, throat, & lungs. On a cellular level, enhancing the lungs function & capacity allows for greater breathing efficiency & thus heightened availability of oxygen. This is a vital component of exercise recovery.

Mental Relaxation

Just as sports & exercise promote mental as well as physical health & wellbeing, saunas similarly benefit the mind alongside the extensive physical benefits offered. Numerous clinical research studies noted a significant improvement in mental states following sauna use, improvement in positivity, mental clarity, & relaxation. As a strenuous workout or important competitive match can raise levels of the fight-or-flight hormone adrenaline & the stress hormone adrenaline, a sauna is a particularly beneficial method for athletes to decompress & relax.

JACUZZI

It’s been a long, hard day & soaking in the jacuzzi may be just the therapy you need to unwind & escape.

Aside from helping you relax, it turns out that spending time in a jacuzzi may provide other benefits too, one of the benefits of jacuzzis is hydrotherapy, the use of water to maintain health, is a natural way to treat a wide array of physical & mental health concerns, & there’s no better way to enjoy hydrotherapy than in a spa with jet massage.

The combination of warm water & massage offers a host of health benefits. However, it should be stated that Jacuzzis might not be safe for some people, including pregnant women & those with heart disease.

JACUZZI BENEFITS

JACUZZI BENEFITS

Stress relief

One of the most obvious benefits of a jacuzzi is the potential to help ease the tensions of the day. The soothing effect of the warm water & massaging action may help relieve physical, emotional, & mental stress. If you like, you can boost this stress-relieving effect even further with soft music, low lighting, or aromatherapy.

Muscle relaxation

The hot water & massaging action of the jacuzzi jets can be an effective way to help relax & soothe tight, tense muscles. This can help ease aches & pains.

Improved sleep

According to research, the simple relaxation gained from a soak in the jacuzzi may be enough to help you drift off into a more peaceful sleep. Scientific studies evaluated passive body heating as a treatment for insomnia in older adults, hot baths promoted significantly deeper & more restful sleep.

Pain relief

Soaking in a jacuzzi may relieve some types of pain by relaxing tense muscles, joints, & tendons. If you have arthritis, the heat & massaging action may help ease the stiffness & inflammation that cause pain. Water supports your body & takes weight off joints, which helps improve flexibility & range of motion. You might gain some of these benefits in a warm bath as well.

Better cardiovascular health

Relaxing in a jacuzzi can raise your heart rate & lower your blood pressure, as hot water immersion may have robust effects on vascular function & blood pressure. It is suggested that passive heat therapy may help reduce cardiovascular risk & mortality.
