CLEARWATER, FL – HydroMassage Lounges by WellnessSpace Brands, the company known for developing an industry-leading suite of experiential wellness products, is an essential amenity at the new Clemson University Elite Athletic Recovery Center (ARC) for athletes to enhance their overall physical and mental well-being.
Clemson completed the 10,000-square-foot facility in March 2024 with designated space for recovery, sports science, nutrition, and sports medicine. ARC is the student-athlete's retreat that provides them access to modalities including massage, cryotherapy, and infrared saunas.
Student-athletes now have access to HydroMassage, which provides personalized, full-body heated massage. The Lounges are great for relief of minor aches and pains, soreness and stiffness for muscle recovery, and also help reduce stress and anxiety.
"We wanted to build a culture of recovery and wellness," Clemson University Wellness Coordinator Megan Cato said. "HydroMassage was well received in the football facility for recovery, so we knew expanding access to the Lounges would be successful for all athletes. It is our most invigorating and relaxing massage we have at ARC, and athletes are over the moon."
"Clemson is trailblazing the recovery and wellness space for student-athletes at universities. Interest in physical and mental well-being with students has increased, and colleges are putting a high value on building out recovery centers," said Kevin Conaway, president of WellnessSpace Brands.
HydroMassage is an innovative heated water massage lounge that is ideal for both wellness and muscle recovery. CryoLounge+ is an advanced recovery chair for targeted cold that helps with minor aches and pains or sore muscles after a workout. RelaxSpace Wellness Pod is a relaxation pod for a mental wellness break that includes guided mindfulness, meditation, nature & breathing videos to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance muscle recovery.
