Our resting suite is one of several unique aspects of your experience at KOEO. Here’s why it matters – and why our clients LOVE it.
Time to Rest Optimises Your Nervous System Change and Speeds Up Your Progress
The resting chairs are designed for deep horizontal rest, but not just to send you off for a siesta. Our dedicated resting room allows you and your nervous system to optimally process the change and corrections from each targeted adjustment.
Instead of rushing back out into the busy world, we build in time for you to slow down, rest and truly absorb all the benefits. Think of it as a kind of chiropractic shavasana; the final ‘corpse’ pose in yoga that helps a yogi soak up all the benefits of a class.
The Upper Cervical specific adjustment is a powerful input that can create significant shifts to the function and neurology of your body, often quite quickly. Once you have received the adjustment, then it’s really down to how efficiently your body processes the input. All bodies require time and an opportunity to process, settle and efficiently register the correction made to the spine and nervous system, something we’ve gauged at around 15-20 minutes to support the body as it processes each adjustment made.
The Wonder of our Resting Suite
Our ergonomically designed chairs recline to almost horizontal, removing the effects of gravity to enable minimum muscle tension following your adjustment. Nearly everyone tells us they love them and find them super comfortable to rest in. Finding sleeping clients in our rest room is not an uncommon event :)
The room itself is decorated in calm tones and lit with salt lamps, so your body and nervous system can access deep rest quickly and effectively. Although you can’t really see the colour, we painted it to feel like the inside of a womb; a place that subconsciously allows for deeper calm and relaxation.
Many clients tell us it’s their favourite moment of their week!
Meditation for Optimal Health Changes
Coupled with a soothing setting designed for restoration, we also honour the powerful effects of meditation and sound healing. Studies have shown that people who regularly meditate have increased immune function, reduced inflammatory response, reduced anxiety and stress, as well as an increase in happy hormones.
Considering the wealth of mind-body benefits that meditation brings, it’s been made a staple on your post adjustment care. We offer clients a choice of guided meditations, specifically created for KOEO clients by our friend Kasia Olszko. Her guided mindfulness meditations continue to receive lots of praise from clients for helping them achieve deeply rejuvenating rest in just 15 minutes.
Other soothing sounds including rain are also available and carry clients into a deep space of tranquility.
It might be the easiest thing to scrimp on, but rest time following each adjustment is an essential part in your process of change. For many of our clients it actually becomes their favourite part of their visit - clients frequently report how great it feels to have 15 minutes just for them without any obligation to be anywhere else, or be doing anything else.
