A New Matt Roberts Retreat, Physiotherapy & Visiting Masters at Ananda Himalayas
By Lisa Brown
This autumn, Ananda is joining forces with leading London based fitness guru and personal trainer Matt Roberts, to create a bespoke seven-night retreat at the Indian wellness destination. Guests can enjoy all of the inclusions of the Ayurvedic Rejuvenation package, including a range of spa treatments, as well as additional gym training and treks led by Matt.
The enchanting landscapes and abundance of wildlife around Ananda, lend themselves perfectly to hiking: from the four-hour Kunjapuri Temple Trek with views of the area’s signature snow-capped peaks to the downhill hike through the Sal forests to a suspension bridge over the Ganges. The retreat will take place from 31 October – 7 November 2017.
The Ananda team has noticed an increase in muscle and joint-related issues among wellness seekers, which are impediments to following a healthier lifestyle. Consequently, the destination spa has launched a range of physiotherapy solutions for chronic issues such as Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and muscle spasms, posture and alignment problems, sports injuries, back, neck and joint pain, as well as injuries of the shoulder, knee, ankle.
A new team of experienced physiotherapists has been employed at Ananda, to work in collaboration with the spa’s Ayurvedic physicians. Together, they offer a comprehensive assessment of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and exercise resulting in a thorough diagnosis of physical health. The procedure helps to identify the underlying causes of the problems, rather than addressing only the symptoms, thereby providing lasting solutions.
Ananda’s new state of art Physiotherapy studio is equipped with the latest therapeutic tools like Class IV LASERS, ZRT Matrix therapy, joint alignment tools, interferential therapy and more.
Ananda has also announced an impressive schedule of visiting wellness practitioners this autumn/ winter. They include:
