It can be a vital tool in assisting injury rehabilitation and also to help prevent the occurrence of injuries in the first place. Sports massage is usually a tailored treatment that targets specific problem areas. It is the ultimate attention to detail, during the treatment everything down to tension in the micro fibres of a muscle, that can contribute to overall pain and discomfort, can be identified. Sports massage is beneficial to the body as a whole, it plays an instrumental role in circulation, lymphatic drainage, flexibility, range of motion. It helps promote sleep, a feeling of well being.
Sports massage is a very worthwhile tool for individuals who like to push themselves to the limit or suffer from high stress levels, both in daily life and in the sports arena. It is a valuable contributor to reducing recovery time, and getting back to optimum performance.
Cardiovascular circulation is one of the most important processes of the human body. Without a healthy and strong circulation, the blood flow of the entire body gets compromised. Cold Water Immersion boosts the cardiovascular circulation, which is beneficial for a healthy heart, a strong immune system, well-balanced mental health, and a high level of energy.
Reduced inflammation of muscle
After participating in a high-intensity workout, the muscles can feel sore for a couple of days. This is because of microscopic tears in the fibers of the trained muscles, and inflammation of the muscle tissue. This type of soreness, also known as ‘delayed onset muscle soreness’ (DOMS), can be very painful. Scientifically, it has been proven that Cold Water Immersion helps to reduce muscle inflammation. The temperature of the water lowers the damage of the affected tissue, and reduces further swelling.
Weight loss
Cold Water Immersion can be of great help when it comes to weight loss. When practiced on a regular basis, Cold Water Immersion is able to increase the metabolic rate by as much as 16%. As a result of immersing the body into cold water, the body has to work hard to maintain its normal internal temperature. During this process, the metabolic rate increases in order to produce heat for the body. When practiced consistently, this can result in a loss of weight.
2.Slow down Father Time (aka: aging!). Cell regeneration means you slow the aging process. And if you’re not quite convinced, check out the 20 year study of Finnish men that links two to three sauna sessions per week with a 23% decreased risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
3.Detoxify heavy metals and chemicals. Everyday exposure to potentially toxic heavy metals through a variety of sources means even the most health conscious people still have toxins in the body. Regular sauna bathing helps excrete toxins such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.
4.Make your heart happy and healthy. A 2018 study found that sauna bathing four to seven times per week reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by as much as 58%.
5.Reduce blood pressure. Sauna heat helps widen blood vessels and improve circulation, which reduces blood pressure.
6.Optimize athletic performance. Blood flow improvements from hyperthermic conditioning (heat conditioning) sends more blood to the heart, leading to an increase in plasma and red blood cell volume. That process delivers more oxygen throughout the body, fueling athletic performance.
7.Improve muscle function and recovery. As more blood flow and oxygen is delivered throughout the body, muscles increase in size and muscle breakdown is diminished. One study showed that two, one-hour sauna sessions for seven days straight increases production of the human growth hormone (HGH) by two to five times.
8.Fuel weight loss. Regular sauna use is shown to regulate the appetite, increase metabolism, and improve oxygen utilization, helping to fuel weight loss along with a reduction in body fat.
9.Boost brain function. The brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF increases with regular sauna use, activating the growth of new brain cells, better maintaining existing cells, and improving neuroplasticity, the brain’s process for forming new neural connections.
10.Ignite your immune system. Heat exposure from sauna use increases the heat shock protein, stimulating antigen-presenting cells, along with releasing cytokine, thus stimulating the body’s natural immune system.
11.BONUS BENEFIT: improve emotional health and mood. When your body and brain are healthy, detoxified, and destressed, and you’ve boosted endorphins, your overall mood and emotional health improves.
By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.
RLT is different from laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies because it doesn’t cause damage to the skin surface. Laser and pulsed light therapies work by causing controlled damage to the outer layer of the skin, which then induces tissue repair. RLT bypasses this harsh step by directly stimulating regeneration of the skin. The light emitted by RLT penetrates roughly 5 millimeters below the skin’s surface.

Dominique Jordan, or Nik as his patients call him, is a registered physiotherapist and manual therapist. Nik graduated in his home country of Switzerland in 2001 before becoming Head of Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy for a private hospital group, teaching biomechanics at a PT College and working as a graduation examiner.
Before joining the AMC, Nik worked for more than 10 years in a private clinic in Dubai, treating professional international athletes as well as managing a busy practice.
Extremely passionate about his work, Nik is an expert on mobility and manipulation for everyday function as well as for sports enthusiasts and athletes in training. He combines this with a focus on patient education and self-management in the fervent belief that if the patient understands the nature and mechanical root of their problem, the path to recovery is clear. Armed with self-mobilisation or, as Nik says, “trouble shooting and bullet proofing techniques” patients maintain and enhance the benefits of their sessions and therefore come full circle from injury or pain to normal daily function or sports activity and prevention.
Nik’s interest in physiotherapy was sparked by his own injuries sustained by practicing sport at an intense level, and it is through his extensive training and experience that his empathy for patients and understanding of injury and pain is founded. A committed sportsman, he regularly trains in Calisthenics, Cross Fit and Gymnast Crossfit and practices what he preaches, applying his own self-treatment techniques daily.
His main areas of expertise include musculoskeletal dysfunctions, manual therapy, sports physiotherapy, treatment of chronic/acute neck and low back pain, chronic pain (whiplash, CRPS, RSI such as tendinitis and misuse injuries), dysfunctions of the peripheral nervous system and postoperative rehabilitation.

Gaurav was born in Rishikesh, India and spent his childhood living nearby the ashram of the great Yogi Baba Shri Neem Karoli Ji Maharaj. From an early age he got exposed to the world of yoga practices and embarked on finding his truth through this path.
Gaurav had no plans to pursue a yoga career, but as it is usually said, life always gives you what is best for you. After failing in his dream to serve his country as a lieutenant, he decided to continue with his postgraduate studies. He decided to apply for Geology and Yoga Science studies at the same time.

Gaurav earned his master’s degree in Yogic Science from the University of Patanjali, founded by Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkirshna and is a member of the association of Indian universities. Coming from a very humble family with both parents having no school education, he feels proud of his roots and his family’s continuous encouragement to him and his brothers to study and excel in life. Due to his life story, Gaurav is dreaming of the day that he will open his own school in India, providing financially challenged but gifted children with the right to a proper education and a bright future full of opportunities.
Upon completion of his Master, he participated in various yoga workshops with many renowned yoga schools in Rishikesh, the birthplace of Yoga. He enriched his knowledge while studying ancient yogic scriptures and practicing meditation under the guidelines of many scholars and later completed his 200hours Yoga Teachers’ Training Course in his birthplace.
In January 2021 with just one small carry-on luggage and his yoga mat, he landed in Dubai and started a successful personal and professional life journey, getting to know people with different cultural backgrounds and trying to adjust his yoga skills to the new environment.
Gaurav’s core strengths are deconstructed flows for complex yoga poses to small parts that helps students to practice and achieve it with more ease. He has his own signature style that makes students achieve flexibility, strength, and balance with much ease on and off the mat. Watching students going through fear, challenges, difficulties and overcoming it to achieve what they manifested for this is what Gaurav lives for. Many of his students have gone on to become advanced practitioners and successful teachers.
Gaurav is having vivid dreams of success and of making a change in this world by providing clear proofs of numerous life changing possibilities through positive thinking and dedication to yoga practice inside and outside the yoga studio.
His life moto is “if your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough. So, dream as big as you can”.
Practice with Gaurav

You can choose his signature classes to gain flexibility, strength and balance or choose the traditional old school Hatha or Vinyasa. Here is what he offers:
Ashtanga Fundamentals: A deconstructed practice for Ashtanga Primary series, where we focus to understand the primary series in a much simpler way. Here we practice complex postures with much ease.

Here we not only practice, but we also understand the methodologies and right techniques to practice.
Ashtanga Primary Led: Traditional primary series practice with guidence for each posture. Ashtanga led primary series is focused on detoxing the body by Asana practice. This is a 75-90 minutes class that allows you to move, hold and breath in a set sequence.
Deep Stretch: a class designed for all levels of practitioners. This class is based on fundamentals of Hatha yoga. Ideal for all, but mostly for those who don’t like to flow and prefer slow-paced classes, focusing on specific areas and muscles of the body on each class.
Flexibility Flow: This class comes with a flow that allows practitioners to move in a sequence where the flow raises the body temperature and helps muscles stretch easier. In this class we focus on specific parts of the body each day, i.e. one day the flow can be on hip opening and another day on another part of the body. One of his most popular classes.
Vinyasa Flow: The classic vinyasa flow with his own unique style that combines stretching and strengthening of muscles at the same time. Flow can be strong sometimes but it is worth practicing. A class that demands full effort.
Slow and Strong: The class focuses mostly on strength with a nice slow and gentle flow. The class seems to be slow but will require the students to give their best on the mat.
Hatha Yoga: The traditional Hatha yoga practice with Pranyama and philosophy. Hatha yoga is the most traditional yoga practice. Practice is ideal for one who is looking to start yoga journey at the same time suitable for one who is practicing for ages. This practice allows you to hold the postures for long time with proper alignment.
Core, strength and stretch: This is a reflection of Gaurav’s own practice for arm balance and Handstands. He has designed this practice to help everyone making arm balance journey easy and amazing at the same time. This practice is designed in a way that here we work on core, strength and stretch of the specific muscles around the upper body.
Yin and Restorative: This is not a normal Yin practice. This is a passive stretch practice that comes with some specific breathing techniques. Here we perform some traditional yoga practices that compliments this class such as Trataka, Chanting and meditation.
