Recovery Therapies at KC Wellness and Physiotherapy
Healing is not only about what happens during an adjustment or an exercise session. Rest, warmth, and relaxation also play a part in how the body recovers from training, work, and injury. Our recovery therapies give you a calm space to unwind and may help you feel looser and more comfortable between visits.
The practice offers a state of the art full circuit of hydrotherapy rooms with chromotherapy lights, a full spectrum sauna, a steam capsule, a physiotherapy deep tissue capsule, oxygen treatments including personal hyperbaric chambers, physio microcurrent therapy, and ion therapy.

Our Approach to Recovery Therapies
Start With Your Health History
Heat, steam, and pressurized chambers are not right for everyone. Before you try a recovery therapy, tell Dr. Casey about your health history and any medications, and check with your medical physician if you have concerns.
Alongside Your Care
Recovery therapies are offered in the same office as chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy, so they can sit alongside the rest of your care. Which ones you choose can reflect your goals and how you like to relax.
Ongoing Support and Education
Ask us what to expect from a session, how to prepare, and how to take care of yourself afterward. As your needs change, talk with Dr. Casey about which therapies, if any, still fit your goals.
Benefits
Relaxation
Warm, quiet, spa-style sessions give you time to slow down, breathe, and unwind.
May Ease Muscle Stiffness
Warmth from a sauna or steam session may help tight muscles feel looser and more comfortable.
Recovery Between Workouts
Athletes and active people often use heat and relaxation therapies as part of their recovery routine.
Complements Your Care
Recovery therapies are offered in the same office as your chiropractic care and physiotherapy, so they can fit into your overall plan.
Ask Before You Start
Ask Dr. Casey which options, if any, suit your health and goals.
Your First Recovery Session
Health Review
Share your health history and medications, and ask which therapies may suit you.
Preparing for Your Session
We explain what the therapy involves, how to prepare, and what you might feel. Drink water beforehand.
Your Session
You relax during the session. Let us know right away if you feel too warm, dizzy, or uncomfortable, and we will help you end the session safely.
Afterward
Take time to cool down and rehydrate. If you are also seeing Dr. Casey for care, let him know how you felt afterward.
The Recovery Therapies We Offer
Hydrotherapy rooms with chromotherapy lights: Our state of the art full circuit of hydrotherapy rooms pairs water with colored lighting to create a calm, spa-like setting for rest and relaxation.
Full spectrum sauna: Many people find the warmth of a sauna session relaxing, and it may help ease muscle stiffness.
Steam capsule: A steam capsule surrounds the body with warm, moist heat for a relaxing session.
Physiotherapy deep tissue capsule: Ask Dr. Casey how this capsule session works and whether it fits your recovery plan.
Oxygen treatments, including personal hyperbaric chambers: These are available at our office. They are not a treatment for any disease or injury. A personal hyperbaric chamber involves resting in a pressurized chamber, which can cause ear and sinus pressure and is not appropriate for everyone, so ask Dr. Casey whether it is right for you.
Physio microcurrent therapy and ion therapy: These are also available at our office. Dr. Casey can explain what each one involves and whether either is a good fit for you.
Safety First
Heat and pressure therapies are not right for everyone. If you are pregnant, have heart disease or blood pressure concerns, have a fever or other acute illness, have ear, sinus, or lung conditions, or feel uneasy in enclosed spaces, talk with your medical physician and let Dr. Casey know before using a sauna, steam capsule, or hyperbaric chamber.
Drink water, avoid alcohol beforehand, and tell us right away if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell so we can help you end the session safely.
