Whether you work part-time or full-time, most corporate jobs are not “body” friendly. Many corporate workplaces try to encourage regular stretch breaks among their employees or even provide ergonomic equipment. However, the truth of the matter is, sitting at a desk for most of the day and engaging in repetitive motions like typing is hard on the body. If you’re looking for a solution to the strain, fatigue, and aches you experience working a desk job, you’re not alone. At Recovery Lab, we fortunately have a selection of recovery services to relieve common physical woes of corporate employees. Cryotherapy for Circulation Whether you sit or stand most of your workday, one thing is for sure: lack of movement can contribute to reduced blood circulation. Yet proper circulation is important as it can support your heart and brain health, aid in quicker tissue repair, and increase your energy levels. For improved blood circulation, consider cryotherapy, a type of cold therapy capable of temporarily redirecting blood flow in your body and encouraging rapid blood vessel dilation post-session. Cryotherapy can also lead to less pain and inflammation, improved mood, and better sleep. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Fatigue Little movement throughout the day, staring at a screen emitting blue light for the bulk of your workday, plus completing high-stress work, all have the potential to induce fatigue. But daytime sleepiness just doesn’t work for a corporate employee; they need to remain alert while on the job. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be a solution. Lying in a chamber which emits high levels of oxygen, the user can benefit from increased energy and improved mental clarity. Generally, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support brain health, potentially encouraging neural repair and boosting cognitive function. Cupping for Back Pain When the back experiences pain or strain, it can almost feel like the entire body is affected. The back is a significant portion of your body, connected to many other body parts and various muscle groups. It’s also the part of your body responsible for many of your movements. If back pain is your workplace struggle, cupping therapy might be the right option to turn to. During a session, several glass or plastic cups are suctioned onto the client’s back. Lifting the tissues, these cups help promote blood circulation, fluid drainage, and pain relief thanks to reduced tension in the muscles. Percussion Therapy for Tight Muscles When you’re sitting at a desk or at a meeting table in the same position for a huge portion of your day, it’s not uncommon to experience tight muscles. Even just the stress of the job can lead to muscle tension. Percussion therapy is one of our top recommended solutions for those dealing with tightness in their muscles. Whether your neck, back, or shoulders are dealing with tension, percussion therapy can help physically “break up” tightness and muscle knots to provide quick relief and relaxation and, in turn, reduce pain.
