Relax and Recharge

Massage Chairs

The Wellness Center offers full-body electronic chair massage appointments at no charge to UW students! The Re-Charge Room is a quiet, relaxing place within the Wellness Center with two full-body electronic massage chairs (Human Touch® Novo XT2). Use of the Re-Charge Room can be helpful to lower stress levels, relieve tension, improve circulation, and release endorphins.

Relax Space Wellness Pod

The Wellness Center has more ways for you to relax and unwind with the addition of a RelaxSpace Wellness Pod! The RelaxSpace is a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience for relaxation and mindfulness! Choose from many programs including guided meditation, guided breathing, as well as view nature scenes or scenes from cities around the world. You can also select personal growth resources including topics on nutrition, sleep, and relationship building. Appointments are 30 minutes in length with 20 minutes of scheduled relaxation time. Come give it a try!
