Presbyterian Village North (PVN) added a few new wellness amenities to the community for residents to relax, recharge and reset. This wellness reset experience includes two hydro-massage chairs, a meditation pod and a sauna pod, designed to support whole-body wellness and peace of mind. The hydro-massage chairs and meditation pod are located in the salon, while the sauna pod is inside the women’s locker room. A men’s sauna pod is coming soon and residents have access 24/7 to the new amenities.
The hydromassage chairs offer a personalized, full-body heated massage experience designed to help relieve muscle soreness and stress. Sessions typically last 10-15 minutes and are fully customizable for speed, intensity, target location and temperature. Benefits include muscle recovery, stress and pain relief, improved circulation and increased joint flexibility and improved mobility.
The meditation pod is designed for meditation and recovery. Each personalized session combines immersive visuals, guided breathing, calming scents and heat to leave users feeling deeply relaxed and fully refreshed. The pod helps to lower heart rate, reduce muscle tension and ease anxiety quickly. Additional benefits include better sleep, improved focus, and mood improvement. These pods use special sounds and colors to increase chemicals in your brain that make you feel happy and calm.
The sauna pod uses infrared heat to warm the body directly, allowing for a lower air temperature with deeper penetration than a traditional sauna. The result is a more efficient and tolerable sauna experience. Regular, short sessions in a sauna pod can help speed up muscle recovery, improve circulation, keep the cardiovascular system healthy and promote relaxation.
“I think as we get older, we always need to try and improve. Wellness reset helps me stay loose and injury free,” said Larry Zeske, PVN resident.
Self-care is not a luxury, instead it’s a vital practice that helps us maintain emotional stability, cope with challenges and enhance our quality of life.
