Whether it’s muscle strain from overextending a movement or soreness after a challenging Pilates session, our specialists understand how pain can hold you back. While soreness is a great sign of muscle strength and improvement, it can manifest in ways that feel painful.
At sculp’d, we apply a comprehensive approach to pain management. In Alexandria, we can combine our HOCATT sauna with PEMF therapy to soothe joints, ease muscles, reduce inflammation, and more after your Pilates Reformer Classes.
We’re proud of the work you’ve put in, but don’t let that stop you from feeling strong in your body. Let’s talk about HOCATT (plus a quick 12-minute session of PEMF therapy to boost results)!
HOCATT Sauna: Biohacking and Pain Relief
The HOCATT sauna provides an all-encompassing treatment for many concerns, some of which stem from pain and inflammation.
The Hyperthermic Ozone Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology (HOCATT) chamber emits highly beneficial elements and therapies to help you recover from workouts, reduce the risk of injury, and recharge your body.
Your provider creates a customized experience that relaxes, restores, and, most importantly, supports your body to help you feel your best.
Here are a few of the technologies HOCATT uses to help you fight discomfort.
Far-Infrared Rays
These specialized rays safely heat the body to encourage detoxification. Not only does it help your body remove toxins, but the light rays also soothe sore or tight muscles, enhance circulation, and encourage healing.
Your body absorbs these far-infrared rays (FIR), which enhance waste removal and increase tissue oxygenation, to relieve chronic pain and certain conditions such as arthritis and inflammation.
Ozone Therapy and Carbonic Acid
Some of the most advanced elements in the HOCATT sauna are ozone and carbonic acid. The chamber first releases carbonic acid into the sauna, which enhances blood circulation and relaxes your muscles.
Then, the ozone infuses into your skin through steam, which improves oxygen transfer and its delivery among tissues.
When your muscles are sore and your joints are stiff, they can benefit from extra oxygen, which helps reduce inflammation and encourages healing on a cellular level.
PEMF: Recharging Your Cells
Often, when the body is under stress and cells become overworked, you can experience inflammation, pain, and tissue damage. To recharge your cells and help them function properly, we like to add PEMF therapy to our HOCATT protocols.
PEMF therapy capitalizes on your cells’ natural electrical charge, so they can fight inflammation and pain.
As you lie between the 2 PEMF mats, your body absorbs electrical currents that regulate your inflammatory response, stimulate tissue healing, and support your journey to pain-free movement. Our most common protocol uses targeted treatments, allowing us to relieve chronic pain and inflammation where you need it most.
