Now, more than ever, New Yorkers are taking care of their health. At Stonehenge NYC, we’re no different. That’s why we’re so excited to tell you all about Restore Hyper Wellness. Restore is a one-stop-shop for your cutting-edge wellness needs.
We visited Restore at 101 W15th street to see what it’s all about, and we were totally blown away. We love Restore, and we think you will too.
What’s Different About Restore?
Restore is indeed a little different from your traditional spa, in a really good way. Their therapies and services yield results that are actually supported by science and medicine. In fact, they have actual medical professionals on site for many of their treatments and therapies. They’re dedicated to helping you feel better, tangibly, right away.
The Three Pillars of Wellness
Many of us already take great care of our bodies and achieve the first two pillars of wellness: a healthy diet and regular exercise. Restore is here to help you get better at the third, lesser known, pillar. Recovery. Their innovative therapies are used by professional athletes to restore and recover after training, and now they’re available to you at a very reasonable price! By adding Restore to your health routine, you’ll notice significant benefits in your overall health and wellness.
So, what are these therapies and why should you try them?
Cryotherapy was the service we were most excited to try. On its surface, Cryotherapy just seems like standing in a very cold room for a few minutes, but it’s much more than that. Cryotherapy has been shown to have all kinds of positive effects. It’ll reduce inflammation in the body and lessen aches and pain. It’ll also boost your energy and speed up your metabolism to jump-start your body’s natural healing processes.
There’s really nothing more refreshing than a few quick minutes in Restore’s Cryotherapy chamber. We’d do it every day if we could! They also offer Local Cryotherapy and Cryotherapy Facials for more targeted results.
We also had the opportunity to try Restore’s Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM). Winter is just around the corner, so we’re all well aware of how valuable it can be to get enough light. PBM uses near-infrared light to speed up recovery and to reduce pain and inflammation. It’ll also put you in a better mood. This science-backed therapy has been used for over forty years to repair and normalize cellular function.
Unlike sunlight or tanning beds, these devices actually restore your cells. It doesn’t just heat you up, it improves your circulation. If you’re someone who works out a lot, using PBM a few times a week can drastically improve your results and your recovery.
IV drip therapy is an amazing way to get and stay healthy. Did you know that an estimated 75% of Americans are in a state of chronic dehydration? That’s not great for you. Luckily, you can get hydrated quickly and easily thanks to IV Drip Therapy. IV Drip Therapy is great for hydration because it ensures 100% bioavailability, compared to the 15-20% of bioavailability you get by simply drinking water.
Restore can also run micronutrient tests and then formulate the perfect IV Drip Therapy for you. You’ll feel better instantly as they administer a wholesome cocktail of minerals and vitamins. This detoxifying process can improve headaches, fatigue, joint pain, blood pressure, and more.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is one of the most effective treatments you can get at Restore. You’ll relax in a cozy pressurized chamber while you breath 90-95% pure oxygen. This concentrates oxygen in your blood, tissues, and fluids. Oxygen is a critical fuel source for the body which means the positive results of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy are huge.
You’ll notice better sleep, improved recovery, and even increased circulation. It’s a relaxing way to feel better, live longer, fight infections, and bounce back from even serious health issues. It’s a great way to supercharge your health.
Love a good sauna? So do we. Infrared saunas are the next step in the evolution of this time-honored relaxation and renewal technique. Rather than directly heating the air, this revolutionary therapy uses infrared light to heat your body directly. This process causes your body to release ‘heat-shock proteins’ which facilitate muscle growth, endurance, and improved circulation.
The benefits don’t end there. Infrared Saunas also have detoxifying effects and can even stimulate a ‘high’ similar to what runners feel. These saunas are also equipped with chromatherapy lights which are amazing for improving your mood when the seasons become bleak and depressing. All you have to do is chill while the infrared sauna boosts performance and enhances your mood.
These are only a few of the services that Restore offers. We had an amazing time exploring their Chelsea location and learning about all the ways their therapies can improve and enhance our lives. It’s a fun, relaxing way to refine your daily life and to truly round out your self-care routine. At Stonehenge, our motto is ‘Live Better Here’, and thanks to Restore we’re living better than ever.
