Starpool’s professional wellness offering is grounded in more than 50 years of experience in the pursuit of wellbeing through blending scientific innovation and technology. The company’s mission is to provide innovative solutions for both mental and physical recovery which underpin performance enhancement and promote a balanced lifestyle.
At the heart of Starpool’s philosophy lies the powerful triad of heat, water and rest. This unique combination not only supports mental health and overall wellbeing but also accelerates physical recovery, making it a cornerstone of Starpool’s wellness offerings.
Recovery in focus In recent years, the understanding that recovery is as vital as physical exertion has reshaped the wellness landscape.
Starpool addresses this need with a comprehensive catalogue of high-end wellness solutions tailored for both professional athletes and individuals seeking an active lifestyle.
The company’s new Recovery Class concept is a pioneering format inspired by collaborations with prestigious international sports teams, including the LA Rams, San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Braves. The innovative approach harnesses the body’s natural responses to heat, cold therapy and dry flotation, creating an optimal environment for post-workout recovery, warm-ups and active relaxation during rest days.
Developed by Starpool’s Scientific Research Department, Recovery Class enhances muscle recovery and athletic performance, making it ideal for integration into spas, wellness centres, fitness facilities and beyond.
Recovery in action Starpool’s partnership with Healthfarm by Stilnuovo, a cutting-edge fitness centre in Florence, showcases its versatility and effectiveness. Healthfarm has seamlessly integrated Starpool’s formats into its programmes, enhancing both pre-workout activation and post-workout relaxation.
For example, it uses infrared therapy for muscle relaxation complimented by Starpool’s Zerobody Dry Float for optimising concentration. In addition, Zerobody Cryo can be used for optimal muscle activation and performance enhancement.
Healthcarefarm can also support individuals with chronic conditions using infrared therapy for muscle activation and Zerobody Dry Float to reduce inflammation.
Francesco Annunziata, founder and CFO of Stilnuovo, said: “Starpool has transformed our vision, integrating a more holistic and scientific approach. Thanks to its innovations, we’ve redefined our future.”
Starpool prides itself on continuing to trailblaze with its evidence-backed solutions, always offering a complete 350-degree recovery journey.
