The Science of Living Better: How THE JUMP is Changing Wellness in Mumbai

There was a time when wellness meant turning to age-old Indian remedies like turmeric for glowing skin, ashwagandha oil for rejuvenation and longevity, or hot mustard oil massages for pain relief. Previously, these ancient treatments and cultural traditions taught us how to take care of ourselves. But today it is all about technology and modern science, which have changed our perspectives, and now wellness seekers want more measurable and lasting improvements in how they age, recover, and perform. 

The global wellness economy has reached $6.3 trillion in 2023 and is forecast to hit $9 trillion by 2028, with the longevity market specifically expected to grow at 10.37% annually. More than 60 per cent of consumers now consider it “very” or “extremely” important to purchase products or services that help with healthy ageing and longevity. One such kind of wellness hub in Mumbai, THE JUMP, South Asia’s first clinical-grade longevity atelier, represents this shift toward precision wellness. Opened in June 2025 in Mumbai, it combines German medical science, Swiss design, and Eastern healing practices. “What we have created at THE JUMP is not a wellness clinic,” explains Prof. Dr Ivo Buschmann, the world-renowned vascular regeneration expert from Berlin’s Charité hospital, who partnered with wellness visionary Mr Ankur Mehta. “It is a precision-guided ecosystem for vascular regeneration, hormonal balance, and biological resilience.”

THE JUMP centres on “health span optimisation”, making your years count more, not just adding more years. Every guest journey begins with deep diagnostics, leading to personalised protocols. Here’s what THE JUMP offers and why each treatment matters:

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a treatment that involves the use of specific wavelengths of light (generally 660-850 nanometers) to increase the energy produced by the cells. While UV light is harmful to the skin, red light goes deeper into the skin and activates the mitochondria, the energy centres of your cells.

The treatment is effective through photobiomodulation, a mechanism where certain light wavelengths lead to a higher level of energy production in cells, which is the cause of better skin texture, quicker wound healing, and less inflammation. Studies say that it can lead to the production of collagen, improved circulation and the recovery of muscles after a workout.

At THE JUMP, red light therapy is not just the goal of beautification. It is one of the stages in a comprehensive cellular regeneration protocol that aims to optimise the body’s repairing and maintaining functions at the cellular level.

Ice Baths

One of the best methods to recover from injuries and improve one’s general health is cold plunge therapy, which is no longer just used by elite athletes. The science supporting this therapy is clear: a controlled exposure to cold is a physiological process that can have positive effects, ranging from inflammation control to mental resilience. 

Immersion in cold water leads to the body reducing blood flow to the inflamed part, thus limiting the damage caused by exercise or stress. When you heat up later, your blood vessels expand rapidly, rinsing out metabolic waste while the regeneration of the tissue and the glycogen storage are taking place.

Though the benefits of the treatment are mostly physical, the regular exposure to cold can extend stress tolerance, elevate the mood by the release of endorphins and also help with the regulation of the sleep pattern. THE JUMP’s cold plunge protocols are designed to safely and effectively elicit these particular responses. 

IV Drips

THE JUMP’s IV therapy program goes well beyond standard vitamin cocktails. Their NAD+ drips target cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that naturally declines with age and is central to DNA repair, cellular metabolism, and energy production.

Each IV formulation is customised based on individual diagnostics – blood work, nutrient assessments, and specific optimisation goals. This isn’t about generic wellness; it’s about addressing specific deficiencies and supporting optimal cellular function.

The result? Many clients report improved energy levels, better cognitive function, and faster recovery from both physical and mental stress.

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is a method where a patient uses supplemental oxygen during physical activity in order to alleviate the symptoms of diseases like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It essentially merges the patient’s body work with breathing oxygen, usually at 90 to 93%.

More oxygen delivery to the organs gives them the opportunity to function well on the cellular level, thus making the body one step closer to the detox process. It may also make the body’s defence system against oxidative stress better.

At THE JUMP, EWOT sessions are combined with other interventions to enhance the body’s capacity for oxygen uptake, which is an important factor both in the quality of work and in the length of life.

Near-Infrared Sauna Therapy

Near-infrared sauna therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to warm the body from the inside out. This light penetrates skin and muscle tissues more effectively than conventional heat, activating cellular repair, improving circulation, and enhancing detoxification. This therapy has many health benefits and regular sessions can improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and strengthen overall heart function providing a natural boost for cardiovascular wellness. 

From sore muscles after a workout to chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia, infrared light therapy reduces inflammation and promotes faster recovery. Collagen production gets a natural boost under near-infrared light. Over time, this leads to fewer wrinkles, smoother texture, and healthier-looking skin. Infrared sauna sessions help regulate cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone leaving you calmer, more relaxed, and mentally clear.

Near-infrared sauna therapy isn’t just a wellness trend, it’s a scientifically supported approach to whole-body health. Whether you’re looking to enhance recovery, improve sleep, or simply invest in your long-term well-being, JUMP SAUNA offers a powerful and holistic way to support your body and mind.

What Sets THE JUMP Apart

THE JUMP isn’t just about individual treatments, but how they work together. Dr Buschmann’s arteriogenesis therapy, which can restore capillary function in just 45 minutes, is combined with oxygen therapy, cold exposure, and movement protocols to create a comprehensive vascular health program.

The facility also includes HRV (heart rate variability) mapping to optimise stress responses, circadian rhythm restoration protocols that blend chronobiology with ancient practices, and custom treatment plans based on detailed diagnostics.

“Longevity is not about extending time,” Mehta reflects. “It is about expanding what time can hold – your energy, your clarity, your capacity to thrive.”

Beyond Individual Treatment

THE JUMP is designed as what they call a “lifestyle ecosystem.” It integrates with The Pump gym next door, offering everything from performance diagnostics to cellular therapies in one location. They’re also planning JUMP Camps in transformative destinations and specialised programs like CXO Longevity Labs for executives.

The facility at JUMP is not just positioning itself as a retreat or spa, but they call it a full-body, full-mind recalibration. It is more than just physical exercises; it is more of a wellness thing that is backed by scientifically proven treatments and technology. It is specifically designed for people who want to feel how they age rather than just accept it.

THE JUMP is taking founding membership applications now, with curated guest experiences available by request. Given the clinical focus and partnership with one of Europe’s leading medical centres, this represents a new standard in precision wellness – one that might finally bridge the gap between feeling better and actually getting better.
