“Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly, and live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four.”

How did it come to this? And what is to be done?

At The Adaption Lab, we’re 15 years into developing possibly the most exciting trend in holistic health—therapeutic stacking (the combining of powerful individual treatments to amplify their benefits). Whether assisting the body to overcome the inertia of chronic disease or promoting peak performance, the benefits of ‘stacking’ really need to be experienced to be understood.

Today, we’re diving into how five incredible therapies—Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, G-Force, the HOCATT Sauna, Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), and Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation)—work together to supercharge your healing, boost energy, and support overall wellness. Ready to transform your health? That is no exaggeration… Let’s break it down!

What Is Therapeutic Stacking?

Think of therapeutic stacking as a nutrient-packed smoothie for your body—each ingredient brings unique benefits, but together, they create a powerhouse of healing. By combining therapies that target different health aspects, we enhance their effects, helping you recover faster and thrive naturally. At The Adaption Lab, we’ve curated five therapies that complement each other to support your body’s innate ability to heal, detox, and adapt.

The Five Therapies in Our Stack

1. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy: Recharge Your Cells

PEMF therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate your cells, acting like a recharge for your body’s battery. It improves cell membrane integrity, boosts ATP production, and reduces inflammation by enhancing microcirculation. Studies, such as those published in the Journal of Inflammation Research (2020), highlight PEMF’s effectiveness in pain relief for conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis.

• Benefits: Reduces pain, enhances cellular repair, boosts energy.
• Perfect For: Chronic pain, muscle recovery, or overall vitality.

2. G-Force: Enhance Circulation and Recovery

G-Force therapy employs controlled vibration or gravitational force via a platform to mimic exercise benefits. It improves circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and enhances muscle recovery by increasing blood flow, even for those unable to engage in traditional workouts due to pain or fatigue.

• Benefits: Improves circulation, mobilises waste, aids detoxification, and supports muscle recovery.
• Perfect For: Post-workout recovery, mobility, or vitality boosts.

3. HOCATT Sauna: Detox and Rejuvenate

The HOCATT (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy) sauna combines ozone therapy, far-infrared heat, carbonic acid, and PEMF in a 30-minute session. Ozone neutralises pathogens, while heat promotes detox through sweating. Research, including a 2021 study in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, suggests HOCATT reduces inflammation markers like CRP, benefiting conditions like endometriosis.

• Benefits: Detoxifies, reduces inflammation, boosts immune function.
• Perfect For: Detox, stress relief, or chronic health support.

4. Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Oxygenate and Heal

Mild HBOT involves breathing concentrated oxygen (and hydrogen in our Airpod model) in a pressurised chamber. The increased pressure floods your body with oxygen, speeding healing, reducing inflammation, and strengthening immunity. A 2022 review in Frontiers in Immunology supports HBOT’s role in tissue repair and infection resistance.

• Benefits: Accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances immunity.
• Perfect For: Chronic wounds, fatigue, or post-injury recovery.

5. Red Light Therapy: Illuminate Cellular Healing

Red light therapy (620-750 nm) and near-infrared (NIR, 750-1100 nm) therapy, or photobiomodulation, use specific light wavelengths to penetrate tissues and boost mitochondrial function. Red light targets skin and surface healing, while NIR reaches deeper into muscles and the brain. A 2023 study in Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery found it increases ATP production and reduces inflammation, supporting skin health, mood, and recovery.

• Benefits: Enhances skin health, boosts energy, and supports cognitive function.
• Perfect For: Anti-ageing, brain fog, or muscle recovery.

Why Stack These Therapies?

When combined, these therapies create a synergistic effect, amplifying their individual benefits for maximum impact:

• PEMF recharges cells, priming them for optimal healing.
• G-Force boosts circulation, delivering nutrients and oxygen efficiently.
• HOCATT detoxifies and reduces inflammation, clearing the path for recovery.
• HBOT floods your body with oxygen, enhancing tissue repair and immunity.
• Red light therapy illuminates cellular energy and repair, supporting surface and deep tissue health.

This stack addresses multiple layers and pathways—cellular energy, circulation, detoxification, oxygenation, and regeneration—addressing common barriers to self-regulation of the body that cause disease and offering a holistic boost to your wellness.

What Can You Expect?

A typical therapeutic stacking session at The Adaption Lab might look like this:

1. 15-minute PEMF session to recharge your cells.
2. 10-minute G-Force session to enhance circulation and lymph flow.
3. 30-minute HOCATT sauna to detox and regulate immunity.
4. 60-minute HBOT session to oxygenate and relax deeply.
5. 10-15-minute red light therapy to boost cellular repair and energy.

Clients often report feeling energised, lighter, and more grounded, with reduced pain and improved mobility after just one session.

Which Stack Option Is Best for You?

Finding the perfect therapeutic stack depends on your unique health goals, and at The Adaption Lab, we use advanced tools to pinpoint the ideal fit. Our VO2 max testing measures your metabolic age, aerobic capacity, and oxygen utilisation, revealing how your body responds to exercise and recovery therapies like G-Force and HBOT—crucial for athletes or those with fatigue. Paired with the InBody 580 Body Composition Scanner, which provides a 30-second, 98%-accurate analysis of body fat, muscle mass, and cellular health, we can tailor your stack. For example, if your InBody scan shows inflammation or low muscle mass, we might prioritise HOCATT and red light therapy, while high VO2 max scores might suggest a focus on PEMF and G-Force for performance. A consultation with our team ensures your stack aligns with your needs.

Is Therapeutic Stacking Right for You?

Therapeutic stacking is ideal for anyone seeking natural wellness enhancements, especially:

• Chronic Conditions: Fibromyalgia, endometriosis, or chronic fatigue.
• Athletes: Faster recovery and performance gains.
• Wellness Seekers: Detox, stress relief, or anti-ageing support.

Note: HBOT, PEMF, and red light therapy may not suit everyone—pregnant women or those with certain implants or recent ear surgery should consult a healthcare provider. We begin with a thorough consultation to ensure safety.
