Hack your body to ski like a pro

January 28, 2019 - On a precious powder day, you don’t want your legs to be screaming for a rest. Six Senses Spa Courchevel in France will help you recover like a pro with the latest body hacks including compression boots and electrotherapy stimulation.

If you want to stay in tip-top shape this ski season, NormaTec Dynamic Compression Boots are designed for rapid recovery and rehab. Coaches and trainers around the world trust them to keep their athletes in peak condition and we have the latest models at Six Senses Spa Courchevel.

The system employs three techniques to maximize your recovery:

• Pulsing to greatly enhance the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout
• Gradients to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction and deliver maximum pressure in every zone
• Distal release so each part of the leg gains maximum rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles

Now that your legs feel great, let’s focus on relieving your aches with an iTENS Wearable Electrotherapy Device. It delivers effective and lasting pain relief by sending tiny electrical impulses through the skin to intercept pain signals from reaching the brain and to help release endorphins. Controlled with an iOS or Android based app, you just peel and stick the lightweight and flexible wings onto the painful area and launch the appropriate program with your smartphone. It really is as easy as that.

Six Senses Residences Courchevel is in the heart of Courchevel 1850 in the renowned Three Valleys ski area – the largest linked ski area in the world. The 53 residences are meticulously designed and appointed with interiors inspired by their alpine surroundings. Traditional influences blend with contemporary home comforts including fine porcelain tiles, exposed natural timber highlights and furnishings sourced from top designers.

There are two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments available to rent. All offer an extensive range of services and amenities including a concierge to assist with any aspect of your stay, shuttle bus service within Courchevel, daily breakfast at the Club Lounge and access to the members’ area at the main La Croisette from where the ski lifts start.

As the height of the ski season approaches, there are also a few apartments remaining for sale up to 2,420 square feet (225 square meters). This includes duplex penthouses with exquisite wine cellars, hammams and open fireplaces, with the option to place your home into the Six Senses rental program and enjoy a healthy return on the investment.
