A COMBINED APPROACH TO RECOVERY SPORTS INJURY CLINIC At ESPA Life at Corinthia, our highly skilled practitioners employ a variety of treatments to address sports injuries and post-surgical conditions, enabling you to operate at peak performance and increase fitness levels. With skills, knowledge, and experience, our therapists can successfully improve the function of acute, chronic or overuse injuries caused by repetitive trauma, and provide effective advice on injury prevention and recovery. The initial step in the recovery process is to gain a clear understanding of the history of previous injuries and the nature of the sport practiced. The therapist will then conduct a methodical and thorough examination of the affected and unaffected areas since this allows us to adjust their findings to your physiology. Posture, movement, gait, pain, and stiffness are also assessed during this stage. We use effective ‘hands-on’ management techniques and exercise protocols to assist recovery and prevent further injury, including sports massage, mobilisation, manipulation, therapeutic rehabilitation exercises, stretching, and medical acupuncture (Dry Needling). Heshmat Nasiri Medical Masseur and Physiotherapist Available on Tuesdays in the Sports Injury Clinic
MEDICAL MASSAGE This unique personalised medical massage combines cupping techniques alongside either a relaxing or deep tissue massage, to provide an effective treatment which combines various bodywork traditions together. The type of cupping used (massage) lessens the chance of marking and is an excellent massage tool that pulls the muscles and tissue away from each other to allow space in the tightest of areas. Acupuncture can also be incorporated if required or requested to release those stubborn and knotted parts of the body that aren’t easily released by standard massage. This is an effective treatment which expertly combines various bodywork traditions together. James Mutkin Acupuncturist / Traditional Chinese Medicine

GO NATURAL THIS AUTUMN We all want a mane of soft, silky, touchable locks. But the reality is that after a summer of sunshine, sea, and chlorine, your hair could probably do with some TLC. Read on for insider tips from Daniel Galvin at Corinthia for a more natural approach to looking after your hair.
Looking for a more natural approach to haircare after a summer spent dealing with the damage that sun, sea and chlorine brings? Ricky Walters, Salon Manager at Daniel Galvin at Corinthia recommends Davines, a natural alternative to other products currently found on the market. Founded in Italy in 1983, Davines merges beauty with the environment and encourages people to take care of themselves, their surroundings, and the things they love. Davines focuses on quality products that are scientifically engineered to work, and uses fruit, vegetable and plant extracts to create the ultimate hair care products.
From almonds from Siracusa and red celery from Torino, each element can be tracked back to the farm in Italy in which they are grown. For chemically damaged hair, Daniel Galvin at Corinthia recommends the NOUNOU line, containing tomato extract from Brindisi. Ideal for bleached hair, this formula is designed to deeply nourish treated hair, restoring softness and silkiness, and giving the hair body without weighing it down. Should you wish to find out more about the range of in-house treatments or to purchase any of the Davines products to try out yourself, please come into the Daniel Galvin salon for a complimentary consultation and personalised product recommendations.
For more hair advice or to book an appointment with Daniel Galvin at Corinthia, telephone +44 (0)20 7321 3060 or email daniel.galvin@corinthia.com.
FITNESS SPOTLIGHT A MESSAGE FROM THE FITNESS TEAM AT ESPA LIFE AT CORINTHIA Rowing is an effective full-body workout that uses every major muscle group in the body, making it a huge calorie burner. It helps increase aerobic fitness and core strength whilst toning the upper and lower body, and promoting great joint health through the wide range of motion required. Rowing is an ideal exercise to do if you are on a strict time schedule and can only spare a few minutes a day, since it will provide an efficient and effective workout that will target the whole body, that other exercises simply can’t do. WORKOUTS SHORT WORKOUT (30 MINS MAX) 3 x 1000m / 1 minute easy Row 3x 1000 metres with a minute rest at a light speed between each set. MEDIUM WORKOUT (45 MINS) 10 x 500m / 2 minute rest Row 10x 500 metres with a two minute rest between each set. FANCY A CHALLENGE? Long workout (60 minutes plus) Half marathon time trial Once you have rowed a 21,097 metre time trial, let one of the ESPA Life fitness trainers know or email espalifefitness.london@corinthia.com The fastest speed will receive a 30 minute complimentary session with a personal trainer of your choice.
