VIDEO: Every day, first responders put their lives on the line serving their communities, which can take a toll on their minds and also their bodies.
That’s why the town of Gilbert is trying a new way to help its firefighters and police officers by installing Recharge Rooms.
“Recharge is a simple 33-minute circuit that we use the synergy of togetherness or multi-modally,” said Rich Ganley, the executive of Positive Impact Alliance.
Installed at the Gilbert Training Facility, the room provides a circuit of proactive and preventative therapies starting out with a red light panel. “Station one is 10 minutes between the light, and at the same time, we use these headsets that play guided meditation while stimulating the vagus nerve,” Ganley said.
Once that’s done, firefighters and police officers step into an infrared sauna for about 20 minutes.
