It’s that time of year again; the much-anticipated new year where we all state our goals and make resolutions for the upcoming year. For many people, it is challenging to stick to a resolution. There are so many factors that can get in the way of you successfully fulfilling your 2020 resolution. Life gets busy, you have deadlines to meet, bills to pay, relationships to focus on, and all of these prior commitments you made before you thought of your resolution. What about the commitment to yourself? It is important to hold yourself accountable for your own self care and wellness goals because your health is your wealth. 

Every year the staff at Symmetry strives to make it as easy as possible for you to stick to your resolutions; especially when it comes to health and wellness. We have brought back our annual Symmetry Resolution deal to help you focus on your wellness goals. For the entire month of January, we invite you to pre-book appointments in order to receive a credit towards future sessions. That’s right, free money just for committing to your own wellness! What could be better? Book at least 3 sessions between February 1st and April 30th to receive a $25 credit when you complete all three sessions. Book 6 appointments and receive a $45 credit when all six sessions are complete! It doesn’t get any easier than that to take care of yourself.

We are also proud to announce that we have a new addition to our wellness offerings. Symmetry now offers an infrared sauna at our LoHi location! This is different than the moist saunas you may be used to encountering at fitness or recreation centers. The infrared sauna is a dry heat that uses color therapy to help promote many healing benefits. Keep an eye out for special offers and our opening day on January 20th for this new self-care bonus. 

There are many benefits that come from an infrared sauna which is why we are so thrilled to be offering this new service. Infrared heat is the same type of heat that is produced by our own sun (of course, there is no danger of sunburn or skin cancer in our sauna). It is essential for the good health of all living creatures. Infrared heat penetrates your joints and muscle tissue allowing for better joint movement and circulation. This will also increase oxygen and blood flow to your tissues allowing for improved skin and relief to sore or injured muscles. Infrared saunas can also help with weight loss and detoxification as the heat helps to remove toxins and impurities from your cells as well as boosting your metabolism. This type of sauna can also benefit your immune system. The heat from the sauna will increase your internal body temperature simulating a fever which will help stave off bacteria and other infections. In fact, infrared saunas are recommended for those undergoing cancer treatment. The relaxing benefits of the infrared sauna can also lead to better sleep and healing as the gentle heat activates your parasympathetic nervous system. 

We recommend starting off your sauna sessions in 10 to 20 minute time allotments to allow your body to adjust to the gently increasing heat. The sauna will slowly work its way up to 130 degrees to provide maximum healing benefits. We will also be offering the benefit of our brand new, on-site shower so that you can head off to conquer the world after your healing sauna session. If you have questions or would like more information on our infrared sauna services, our friendly concierge team is always available to help.

We hope that 2020 will provide you with everything you need to truly thrive throughout the year. Remember that we are always here to help you take charge of your health.
