As an athlete, injury is just one of those things that seems to go hand in hand with sport participation. However, it can be a major setback, especially if it affects your training and goals. In this article, we share 4 therapeutic experiences available in Bayside that may assist with sports injury recovery. Disclaimer: shameful self-promotion included.

1 Float Tank

Unwind and give your muscles some time out with a float session at Liquid Room. You float effortlessly, free of all external distractions, including light and sound. This popular treatment may assist with sports injury recovery, as it takes the pressure off tired and sore joints and muscles. It also boosts circulation, which may help with healing, while the epsom salts in the water contain magnesium – a muscle relaxant. 191 Bay Rd, Sandringham. Website: http://liquidroom.com.au

2 Infrared Sauna

Bayside Melbourne offer rejuvenating full-spectrum infrared sauna sessions in Beaumaris. For those with sports injuries, the heat allows your muscles to relax and can relieve tension and spasms. These treatments are also great for detoxing, purifying the skin, and improving circulation. 111 Charman Road Beaumaris. Website: http://infraredsauna.melbourne/bookings/

3 Salt Therapy

This therapeutic treatment is great for sports recovery, as it eases inflammation in the lungs, allowing your body to increase oxygen delivery into the bloodstream and recover from exercise quicker. Salt therapy can also help with asthma, allergies, eczema, hayfever, and cold and flu symptoms. At Salts of the Earth in Hampton, clients kickback in a salt room whilst inhaling the good stuff. 473 Hampton St, Hampton. Website: www.saltsoftheearth.com.au
