BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, WARM UP AT THE VILLAGE CENTER
If you’ve noticed that cold weather is causing you joint pain flare-ups or headaches, or exacerbating other chronic pain, take heart. There are many things you can do to combat the frigid effects of winter. Fight the cold taking advantage of our beautiful Village Center.
Swim
Come swim or soak in our warm, indoor saltwater pool. The water’s buoyancy supports the body’s weight, which reduces stress on the joints and minimizes pain. Plus the 82 to 88 degrees – can help soothe pain and relax muscles.
Massage
Massage is a great way to combat the stiffness that can lead to pain. The fitness center contracts with several massage therapists to provide relaxation and restorative services in a spa setting.
Keep Moving
Don’t cut down on physical activity in the colder months. This will only lead to a decreased range of motion and exacerbate any joint pain you might be experiencing. Come to the many fitness classes offered or workout in the gym while taking in the beautiful view outside from our 17 feet tall windows.
Hydrate
Even mild dehydration can make you more sensitive to pain, so don’t stop drinking water just because it’s cold outside. If water doesn’t appeal as much during the winter months, come sit by the fire and sip some hot tea, cocoa or coffee from the Huckleberry Café.
