Red Light Therapy Red light therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM), harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function, reduce pain, and promote healing. Canyon Ranch Vitality's cutting-edge red light therapy sessions help enhance your skin’s health, reduce inflammation, and improve sleep. Guests can bask in the soothing glow of red light while experiencing a non-invasive, rejuvenating treatment that paves the way for holistic well-being.

Infrared Sauna Pod Step into the future of relaxation. Our Infrared Sauna Pods use infrared light to penetrate the skin, promoting several cellular benefits. Sweat it out in the pods’ calming warmth and benefit from improved mitochondrial function, reduced inflammation, and a boost in hormone function. The infrared sauna experience at Canyon Ranch Vitality will not only rejuvenate your body, but also provide a serene environment where you can relax your mind.

Percussion Therapy Percussion therapy is an easy way to reduce the muscle tension and tightness many people experience, improving your overall motion and flexibility. This approach utilizes rhythmic, percussive movements to target muscle tissue and promote improved blood flow. Whether you're an athlete recovering from an intense workout or someone seeking relief from daily stressors, percussion therapy at Canyon Ranch Vitality uses a range of devices for different parts of the body. It creates an effective solution to help with some of your most stubborn areas of discomfort.

Compression Therapy Compression therapy involves the use of pneumatic compression devices to improve circulation and aid recovery. Enjoy the soothing embrace of adjustable compression sleeves, tailored to your specific needs. This therapy is particularly beneficial for enhancing blood flow to specific areas of the body post-exercise, reducing inflammation and promoting overall vascular health. In fact, the best athletes in the world have been using this technology for years.

Self-myofascial Release Unlock your body’s full potential with self-myofascial release. Use tools like foam rollers and massage balls to target myofascial trigger points, releasing tension and assisting in blood flow to a precise area. Incorporate self-myofascial techniques before and after workouts to help improve your wellness routine.

Sound Therapy Enjoy the healing vibrations of sound therapy at Canyon Ranch Vitality. This practice utilizes sound frequencies to induce a meditative state, promoting relaxation. Join us and experience the therapeutic benefits of sound in a tranquil, immersive environment.

Nervous System & Vibration Therapy This therapy delivers mental and physical restoration from the comfort of a zero gravity chair. Pulsed pressure waves to the body aid in reducing stress and increasing energy, as well as help regulate your nervous system and arousal levels. Leave feeling refreshed and ready for an improved night’s sleep.

Sleep Prep Quality sleep is the cornerstone of your most well way of life, so Canyon Ranch Vitality prioritizes sleep prep. We’ll help you cultivate healthy sleep habits and teach you how to prepare for better sleep, enhancing your overall well-being.
