Floatation Therapy

Elevate Mood
Increase Creativity
Relieve Stress
Reduce Anxiety
Improve Sleep Quality

Elevation of Mood
Due to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system through floatation therapy, the body is flooded with endorphins and dopamine. These neurotransmitters are responsible for pain relief, mood enhancement and a decrease in anxiety response

Increased Creativity
Musicians, writers, and creative performers also gain from floating. A study in the journal Music and Medicine found that floating improved the technical ability of musicians during jazz improvisation.

Relieve Stress and Reduce Anxiety and Improve Sleep Quality

Floating combats stress in two main ways. First, the water’s magnesium inhibits ACTH, a hormone that drives your adrenal glands to release the stress hormone cortisol. Magnesium also improves sleep quality, which contributes to feeling less stressed.
The sensory deprivation component of floating also minimizes stress. In a recent study, people who floated eight times in two weeks saw their cortisol decrease by 21.6 percent. They also showed a 50.5 percent decrease in cortisol variability, meaning, they handled stressful situations better without the cortisol spikes.
Under stress, your hypothalamus (the almond-sized part of your brain just above your brainstem) signals your adrenal glands to release the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Chronic stress leads to an overactive hypothalamus, which can lead to depression. Floating helps combat depression and anxiety by minimizing your cortisol production.
In one study, people who floated for 12 sessions noticed decreased pain, stress, anxiety, and depression as well as improved sleep quality and general optimism. The results lasted up to four months post-flotation

Brain Function, Mood & Focus

Cryotherapy Improves Mood - Focus & Attention
One of the most consistent and profound physiological responses to cold exposure is a robust release of norepinephrine into the bloodstream, as well as in the brain. Cryotherapy will trigger your body’s production of endorphins, giving you an energy and mood boost. So expect to feel rejuvenated and ready to power through a workout or your Day after even your first session!

Antioxidant Effect

Though the exposure to cold, by functioning as a hormetic stressor, actually activates very potent genetic antioxidant systems which are exponentially more powerful than supplemental antioxidants.
The reason Antioxidants are important is that they counteract free radicals and the oxidative stress they cause. Oxidative damage has been linked to several diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

Young men exposed to cryotherapy for 3 minutes every day for 20 days doubled the activity of one of the most potent antioxidant enzyme systems in the body called glutathione reductase and increased another potent antioxidant enzyme called superoxide dismutase by 43%.
The more frequent cryotherapy was done, the higher the increase in activating these powerful antioxidant enzymes.
Full body Cryotherapy is a quick and easy way to ensure you are allowing your body the ability to naturally fight off free radicals which will show long-term health and wellness benefits.

Improving Sleep

It's very common to have the best night sleep you have had in a long time after a Cryotherapy session this is because Whole Body Cryotherapy helps improve sleep by contributing to establishing a neurochemical balance which is essential for a healthy sleep-wake cycle. A more youthful muscular metabolism (which means cells and energy production are functioning optimally) provides additional support for a better night’s sleep.

Cycling cold/hot before bed can make you very sleepy and give you amazing sleep (can reset your circadian rhythm – travel tip).

Infrared Sauna

Detoxify
Reduce Stress & Anxiety
Relieve Pain
Stimulate Body
Increase Vitality

Detoxify

Infrared saunas DETOXIFY 7x more than traditional saunas; detoxifying of heavy metals, radiation, and environmental toxins.
Far infrared has the longest frequency and can penetrate deep into human tissue.
Far infrared waves increase the body's core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are housed. Its optimal for detoxification, weight loss and blood pressure reduction.

Positive effects on the Brain

Increases the storage and release of norepinephrine, which improves attention and focus.
Increases prolactin, which causes your brain to function faster by enhancing myelination and helps to repair damaged neurons.
Increases BDNF, which causes the growth of new brain cells, improves the ability for you to retain new information and ameliorates certain types of depression and anxiety.
Causes a robust increase in dynorphin, which results in your body becoming more sensitive to the ensuing endorphins.

Stimulating

Stimulates the circulatory system and oxygenates the body’s CELLs The increase in blood flow results in greater overall vitality – just like a workout, but … not a workout.
