A sports recovery centre in Epsom, built around cold and heat rather than massage. It offers hot and cold hydrotherapy, a cold plunge pool, an infrared sauna and compression therapy, all in one place on Green Lane West.
The centre is for people who train hard and want to recover faster. The website names three groups it serves: people coming back from an injury, people who are sore after a hard training session, and anyone who just wants to relax. The stated aim is to ease aches and pains, shorten recovery time and help people get back to their best.
The mix of cold plunge, infrared sauna and compression is the part that sets it apart. A session can move from the heat of the sauna to the cold of the plunge, and compression therapy can follow, so a athlete or weekend runner can use the same visit for several parts of their recovery.
The centre is at 2/223A Green Lane West, Epsom, in central Auckland. Our pick in Epsom for a sore body after a race or a heavy training block.
