The holiday season is upon us, and that means many people will soon be taking cross country flights to visit family or jumping on an international flight to vacation in a warm weather destination. Although you’re not very physically active when you’re riding on a plane or sitting in a car, the process of traveling can be very physically exhausting. It’s not uncommon to come back from vacation or holiday travels and feel more drained than you did before you left.
If you’re often tired or fatigued after holiday travel or a winter vacation, consider syncing up with the team at HyperCharge Clinic. We have a number of ways to help you overcome jet lag or travel fatigue. We talk about those rejuvenation options in today’s blog.
Recovering From Travel Fatigue With HyperCharge Clinic
Travel can be exhausting for many reasons. For starters, the process of traveling oftentimes involves sitting in the same position for hours on end. All of this static stress on the same areas of your body can really take a toll on different muscle groups and joints. Then there’s the vacation itself. Whether you’re hanging out with family or sipping Mai Tais on the beach, you’re out of your normal routine and oftentimes surrounded by food and beverages that aren’t the healthiest. It’s fine to indulge here and there, but poor food choices can also contribute to lethargy, so be mindful of your diet when traveling.
If you’re traveling long distances, your body’s natural circadian rhythm can get thrown out of whack if you’re changing time zones. Time changes can make it hard for your body to adjust to the new waking hours, and just when it figures it out, you head back home and have to adapt to another time difference. Adjusting to jet lag and time zone differences can make it hard for you to get quality sleep, but you can combat all of these issues with the help of the team at HyperCharge Clinic.
Here’s a look at two techniques we use with clients who are feeling fatigued or jet lagged after extended travel.
Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)
Exercise With Oxygen Therapy is a rejuvenation technique that involves breathing high concentrations of oxygen while you exercise. This purer form of oxygen supports efficient cellular respiration, improves your circulation and helps different areas of your body have access to nutrient-rich blood. The technique is beneficial for professional athletes looking to simulate altitude training, for patients with long COVID hoping to clear some brain fog, and for patients who are dealing with fatigue due to chronic pain, arthritis or jet lag!
Sleep Enhancement Therapy
If travel fatigue is making it hard for you to fall asleep, stay asleep or achieve restful sleep, consider connecting with the team at HyperCharge Clinic. We offer a variety of rejuvenation techniques aimed at improving your sleep quality. You can learn more on this page, but some of the techniques we recommend based on individual issues include:
- Whole Body PBM
- Class IV Laser Therapy
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
- NanoVi Structured Water Therapy
- Vibration Therapy
Many of these techniques work by addressing your body on the cellular level to help improve cell function and normalize functional performance. When your cells can better repair themselves and calm inflammation, it’s easier for your body to get back into a healthy circadian rhythm, which can make it much easier to achieve quality sleep.
So if you’re feeling jet lagged after holiday travel, or the winter weather has you feeling the blues, consider putting your health first by contacting the team at HyperCharge Clinic for an individualized assessment.
