Rhoades to Wellness

Morning light, warm sauna, a good Pilates session, and a walk down Union Street — this is what a day at Rhoades to Wellness looks like.

Can you use an infrared sauna if you have eczema? Short answer: often, yes — with a few adjustments.

Heat and sweat can affect sensitive skin differently, so we modify time, temperature, and hydration for anyone dealing with skin conditions. Always check with your doctor before starting sauna use if you have a medical condition.

Morning or evening — does it actually matter? 🔥

Morning sessions tend to boost energy and focus. Evening sessions help you wind down and recover before bed. There's no wrong answer — just the ritual that fits your week.

Which one's yours? Tell us below.

Ever notice that floaty, euphoric feeling after an infrared sauna session?

That's not your imagination. That's endorphins.

When infrared heat raises your core temperature, your brain detects thermal stress → releases beta-endorphins (the same ones released during exercise) → your pain threshold increases → your mood lifts → you feel genuinely, deeply good.

This is why:
→ Chronic pain feels quieter after a session
→ Your mood improves even when nothing else changed
→ Clients describe it as "the only 30 minutes I feel like myself"

30–45 minutes of infrared heat = your body's natural pharmacy. No prescription required.

Sometimes the painful area isn't the place that needs the most attention.

Our client came in with LEFT hip pain, but during our assessment we noticed something interesting:

➡️ The RIGHT big toe wasn't connecting well with the ground.
➡️ The foot and ankle lacked mobility.
➡️ That altered the way force traveled through the entire leg during walking.

Because your feet are your foundation, restrictions there can influence what happens at the knee, hip, and even the low back.

Working alongside Dr. Zach Brantner at Ultimate Sports Medicine, we focused on improving the foot and ankle complex with:
• Supination & pronation drills
• Ankle flexion/extension
• Towel scrunches to strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles

As mobility and strength improved, so did the client's movement—and their hip symptoms.

This doesn't mean all hip pain starts in the foot. It does mean that looking at the whole movement system often gives us better answers than chasing the painful area alone.

At Rhoades to Wellness, that's exactly how we approach rehab-based Pilates: assess the whole body, address the root cause when possible, and help you move with more confidence.

The ultimate cross-training combo.

If you love lifting weights, don't skip Pilates. These two workouts complement each other in all the right ways.

✨ Weight lifting builds muscle, strength, and bone density.
✨ Pilates improves core strength, mobility, balance, and body awareness.

Together, they help you:
💪 Lift stronger with better form
🤸 Move more freely with improved mobility
🦴 Reduce your risk of injury
⚖️ Improve balance and stability
🏃 Recover faster and perform better—whether you're lifting, running, or simply living an active life.

Think of it this way:
🏋️ Weight lifting builds the engine.
🧘 Pilates fine-tunes the chassis.

You don't have to choose one or the other. The magic happens when you combine both.
