It's crucial to undergo IV Drip Therapy under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals who can monitor your response and address any concerns that may arise.

NAD+ IV DRIP THERAPY

When will I feel the results from NAD+ IV Drip Therapy?

NAD+ infusions aim to increase NAD+ levels in the body, potentially addressing age-related symptoms due to natural NAD decline. Healthy individuals may not notice immediate changes, but NAD+ can provide incredible reparative benefits, boosting overall wellness especially when engaged consistently over time.

Who Benefits from NAD+ IV Drip Therapy?

The primary goal is to support cellular health and regeneration by clearing damaged components. The therapy begins with loading doses over four sessions, followed by monthly maintenance sessions to sustain results. NAD+ IV Drip Therapy can benefit those seeking to reset their cellular health and optimize their overall wellness.

RED LIGHT THERAPY

How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red Light Therapy utilizes low levels of red or near-infrared light to stimulate cellular healing and energy production. This light is absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, supporting various essential processes for your overall health, healing, and vitality.

Are there any risks to Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation, involves very low levels of heat that are safe for the skin and don't cause burning. Unlike tanning booths, it doesn't expose the skin to harmful UV rays. When used consistently and under medical guidance, Red Light Therapy at The Well House Collective can be an effective and safe tool for wellness.

What is a Red Light Therapy session like?

During a Red Light Therapy session at The Well House Collective, you'll enter our specially designed room where our staff will activate the Red Light Therapy machine for you. You can choose to wear sunglasses or simply relax with your eyes closed for a 15-20 minute session, while your skin absorbs the gentle warmth from the lights. It's a calming and rejuvenating experience aimed at promoting overall well-being.

How often is recommended for Red Light Therapy sessions?

The frequency of Red Light Therapy sessions can vary depending on individual goals and the specific condition being targeted. For general wellness and skin rejuvenation, many individuals benefit from 2-3 sessions per week. However, for more targeted treatment of specific conditions such as pain relief or wound healing, daily sessions may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider or experienced therapist to determine the optimal frequency of Red Light Therapy for your unique needs and goals.

INFRARED SALT SAUNA

What is an Infrared Salt Sauna session like?

After completing a brief waiver, our staff will guide you to your private sanctuary. Upon arrival, you'll disrobe and envelop yourself in a cozy towel or robe before entering the sauna. Settle in for a 15 to 45-minute session, during which the infrared heat and salt-infused air work their magic. As you sweat, your body detoxifies, purging harmful toxins and heavy metals. Afterward, change into breathable attire to continue experiencing the rejuvenating effects of your session.

How does Infrared Salt Sauna work?

Infrared Salt Saunas combine the benefits of infrared heat with the healing properties of salt-infused air. The infrared light waves penetrate deep into tissues, promoting perspiration and detoxification. This process not only raises your heart rate but also offers cardiovascular-like benefits. As you relax in the soothing warmth, you'll disconnect from the stresses of the day, indulging in a moment of blissful rejuvenation at The Well House Collective.

How often is it safe and recommended to use the Infrared Salt Sauna?

The frequency of Infrared Salt Sauna sessions can vary depending on individual health goals and tolerance levels. For general wellness and detoxification, using the sauna 2-3 times per week is typically safe and effective. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or sensitivities may benefit from less frequent sessions. It's important to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare provider to determine the optimal frequency for your needs.

Are there any risks or potential side effects from Infrared Salt Sauna Therapy?

Infrared Salt Sauna Therapy is generally considered safe for most individuals. However, as with any form of heat therapy, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. These may include dehydration, overheating, or exacerbation of certain medical conditions such as cardiovascular issues or skin sensitivities. It's important to stay hydrated before, during, and after sauna sessions and to listen to your body's signals. Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before beginning sauna therapy to ensure it is safe for them.

RED LIGHT THERAPY VS. INFRARED SALT SAUNA?

What’s the difference between Red Light Therapy and Infrared Sauna?

Red Light Therapy and Infrared Sauna serve distinct purposes while both using light technology. Red Light Therapy primarily targets skin health and cellular regeneration, promoting collagen production and reducing inflammation and addressing pain. In contrast, Infrared light penetrates deeper into tissues, promoting detoxification, pain relief, and relaxation. Additional benefits come with the healing properties of salt, offering deeper detoxification, respiratory support, and relaxation.

While both Red Light Therapy and Infrared Salt Sauna offer unique benefits, they cater to different but complementary wellness needs and pair well for a more integrative approach to healing and rejuvenation.

CRYOTHERAPY

Is Cryo the same as cold plunge? What are the differences?

Cryotherapy and cold plunges are both cold therapy techniques, but they differ significantly. Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures, typically around -125°C, in a specialized chamber for a short duration. In contrast, a cold plunge involves immersing oneself in cold water, usually in a pool or tub, for a longer period. Cryotherapy provides a rapid cooling effect with consistently low temperatures, while a cold plunge starts with an initial shock followed by a gradual adjustment to the cold. Both methods aim to induce similar physiological responses, such as vasoconstriction and reduced inflammation, but cryotherapy is often preferred for its intense and immediate effects, whereas cold plunges offer a more gradual and immersive experience.

Wow, that's cold! Is Cryotherapy safe!?

At The Well House Collective, we utilize state-of-the-art cryo chambers that ensure safety and comfort. Additionally, our trained staff members monitor temperature levels and client comfort throughout every session.

What do I wear for a Cryo session?

No need to strip down! You can wear your clothes, although wearing the least amount of clothes possible is ideal. Be sure to remove jewelry. The metals could burn your skin under such cold conditions. A private dressing area is also available for storing personal belongings. You cannot be wet before doing cryotherapy.

How does a Cryotherapy session feel?

During the session, the cold air lacks moisture, resulting in a sensation that is not shockingly cold. Towards the end of the session, some clients may feel a mild tingling sensation, which quickly dissipates. Overall, most clients report feeling immediately rejuvenated, with increased energy and muscle relief following a single session.

How often is it safe and recommended to do Cryotherapy?

The frequency of Cryotherapy sessions can vary depending on individual health goals and tolerance levels. For general wellness and recovery, many individuals benefit from 3-5 sessions per week. However, for more targeted treatment of specific conditions such as pain relief or inflammation reduction, daily sessions may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. It's essential to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare provider or experienced therapist to determine the optimal frequency of Cryotherapy for your unique needs and goals.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

How will I feel during Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

During your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session, you may experience your ears popping as the chamber pressurizes. Following this, many clients report feeling a sense of relaxation while receiving the treatment. After your session, you may continue to feel relaxed or even alert and well-rested. Some clients also report experiencing deeper sleep that night. Consistency in therapy sessions is important, as regular visits to the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy chamber may contribute to improved overall well-being.

How should I prepare for my first Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy appointment?

As a new client, you'll need to complete a waiver and health history form, which will be emailed to you prior to your appointment. If you're unable to fill them out beforehand, you can complete them upon arrival at the studio. Our staff will then take your vital signs and conduct a brief call with a medical provider to better understand your medical history and how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can benefit you. If you're currently experiencing congestion or sinus/ear issues, we recommend waiting until your symptoms subside before trying the therapy. Additionally, if you're under the care of a specialist or have undergone recent surgery, you may need medical clearance from your provider before receiving our services. We provide printable forms for your convenience, including the Medical Clearance Form or Oncology Clearance Form.

Why are the Hyperbaric Chamber sessions so long?

Hyperbaric chamber sessions are designed to provide optimal therapeutic benefits by allowing sufficient time for the body to absorb and utilize oxygen under increased -- varying from brief to several hours -- pressure. The extended duration of hyperbaric sessions includes the time needed for the chamber to pressurize and depressurize, which adds about 20 minutes. This gradual pressurization mimics the experience of diving to deeper ocean depths, allowing for deeper oxygen saturation within tissues. This process promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances overall well-being. While the length of each session may vary based on individual needs and treatment protocols, the comprehensive approach ensures maximum effectiveness and positive outcomes for our clients at The Well House Collective.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with Hyperbaric 
Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. These may include ear barotrauma, sinus discomfort, temporary vision changes, and oxygen toxicity. It's essential to undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals who can monitor your response and address any concerns that may arise.

How often is it safe and recommended to visit the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?

The frequency of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions can vary depending on individual health goals and treatment protocols. For certain medical conditions, such as wound healing or carbon monoxide poisoning, multiple sessions per week may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or experienced therapist to determine the optimal frequency of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for your specific condition and treatment plan.

Lymphatic Massage/Drainage directly stimulates the lymphatic system, resulting in numerous benefits including reduced water retention and bloating, clearer skin and mind, strengthened immunity, improved circulation, enhanced mood, healthier cells and tissues, reduced inflammation, faster metabolism, and increased energy.

What attire is recommended for a Lymphatic Massage session?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothing. Women have the option of wearing a bra and thong depending on comfort level, while men should wear underwear for comfort and modesty during the treatment.

How should I prepare before and after Lymphatic Drainage?

Hydration is key. Drink plenty of water to support your body's natural detoxification process. Avoid heavy meals 90 minutes before the session and refrain from drinking water 30 minutes prior to prevent discomfort. After the treatment, avoid processed foods and alcohol for 12-24 hours to maximize the detox effects.

Is Lymphatic Massage safe for everyone?

Lymphatic Massage is generally safe for healthy individuals, enhancing the body's natural detox process. However, it's essential to consult if you have any medical conditions before booking a session. By booking, you acknowledge releasing all liability from Lymphatic Massage and assume responsibility for your medical decisions.

Does Lymphatic Massage hurt?

Lymphatic massage is typically a gentle and soothing experience. While some individuals may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity in areas where lymphatic congestion is present, the overall sensation is often described as relaxing and therapeutic. Our skilled therapists at The Well House Collective prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the session, adjusting pressure and technique to ensure a positive experience tailored to your needs.

How often is it recommended to schedule Lymphatic Drainage sessions?

For optimal results and maintenance, we recommend bi-weekly sessions unless otherwise specified by your medical provider. After your initial session, our therapists, also known as Lymphatic Massage Specialists, can create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Are there any side effects of Lymphatic Massage?

While most clients feel energized and balanced after a session, some may experience detox symptoms such as aches, headaches, fatigue, or bruising. It's essential to avoid blood thinners before and after your appointment to minimize bruising.
