Total Retreat

Welcome to the Total Retreat. The place to relax, regenerate and heal. The studio consists of two main sections, the NEW Infrared section and the therapy area. Both parts welcome individuals that want to recover and repair injuries and pain through gentle rehabilitation using infrared therapy and/or wax therapy. This is the first studio of it’s type locally and we can’t for you to join us on this magnificent journey through self healing. 

The Total Retreat is located on the outskirts of Earl Shilton, near to Elmesthorpe; with the venue only a short 10 minute drive from Hinckley and other surrounding areas it is the ideal place to access. There are main bus routes that stop meters away from the studio and plenty of on/off road parking for customers. The sessions offered are on a one to one or Duet (two to one) basis, depending on your budget. Bookings are limited so don’t forget to reserve your slot early on as there might be a wait. Sessions will take place on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, daytime’s only. 

WHAT DOES THE INFRARED THERAPY SESSION INCLUDE?
The infrared light therapy session is a 45 minute gentle Physiotherapy Pilates workout including mobility and stretching movements, whilst working on infrared exercise mats and under infrared lights. The rehabilitation session will take place in a warm environment whilst being on and under infrared lights, with gentle music and surrounding atmosphere in the relaxing outdoor log cabin surrounded by trees and nature. Guaranteed to heal the mind, body and soul. 

WHAT IS INFRARED THERAPY?
Infrared light therapy is beneficial because it penetrates deep into the body, which can increase blood circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote tissue repair and regeneration. It helps relax arteries, increase oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, and can be used to treat conditions like arthritis, muscle soreness, joint stiffness, cancer patients and chronic pain, such as back pain. 

HOW DOES INFRARED THERAPY WORK?
• Penetrates deep tissue: 
Infrared light has a longer wavelength than visible light, allowing it to reach and interact with muscles, joints, and bones. 
• Boosts circulation: 
It causes capillaries to dilate, increasing blood flow. This delivers more oxygen and nutrients to cells and helps flush out waste. 
• Increases nitric oxide: 
It stimulates the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that helps relax blood vessels, prevents blood clots, and reduces oxidative stress. 
• Promotes cellular repair: 
By improving oxygen and nutrient flow, it supports the body’s natural ability to regenerate and repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. 
Key benefits
• Pain relief: 
It can help reduce pain from conditions like arthritis, muscle strains, and back pain. 
• Muscle recovery: 
It helps reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and stiffness after exercise. Supports stretching as it improves flexibility of the muscles.
• Tissue healing: 
It can accelerate the healing of wounds and other injuries by promoting tissue regeneration. 
• Cardiovascular health: 
Improved blood flow can support overall heart health. 
• Relaxation and detoxification: 
The warming effect of infrared saunas can help promote relaxation and aid the body in flushing out toxins. 

CAN IT HELP ARTHRITIS?
Infrared therapy helps arthritis by delivering heat and specific light wavelengths deep into tissues, reducing pain, stiffness, and inflammation, and improving joint function and mobility, with studies showing benefits for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) without worsening disease activity. It works by increasing circulation, promoting cellular repair, reducing oxidative stress, and easing psychosomatic symptoms like fatigue. While not a cure, regular use offers significant short-term relief.

WHAT DOES THE WAX THERAPY SESSION INCLUDE?
The wax therapy session is a 30 minute appointment designed for the hands and those struggling with pain, movement, arthritis. We use hand wax therapy, gentle trigger point massage and rehabilitation to restore hand movement and reduce pain. Hand wax therapy has been used for years and helped many people with their daily routines such as simple tasks around the house such as opening a jar or pouring the kettle. We take our hands for granted, they are often forgotten and not worked on, but at the Total Retreat we can get these working better for you again.
