Floatation Therapy

Benefits of Using a Floatation Pod

🧠 Mental & Emotional Benefits

Stress Reduction
- The sensory deprivation environment calms the nervous system and lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone).
- Many users report feeling mentally "reset" after a float.
Anxiety & Depression Relief
- Regular sessions may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by calming the mind and enhancing mood-regulating neurochemicals like dopamine and endorphins.
Enhanced Mental Clarity & Creativity
- With no external input, the brain shifts into a theta wave state, associated with deep relaxation, creativity, and insight.
- Great for problem-solving or overcoming mental blocks.
Improved Sleep
- Many people experience better sleep and relief from insomnia after a float due to lowered stress and nervous system regulation.

💪 Physical Benefits

Muscle Relaxation & Recovery
- The high concentration of Epsom salt (magnesium) helps reduce inflammation and muscle soreness—ideal for athletes or those with chronic pain.
Pain Relief
- Floating can help manage pain conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, and migraines due to pressure relief and muscle relaxation.
Improved Circulation
- The zero-gravity environment reduces pressure on joints and muscles, allowing blood to flow more freely and promoting recovery.
Magnesium Absorption
- The skin absorbs magnesium from the Epsom salt, which can aid in muscle function, energy production, and calming the nervous system.

🧘‍♀️ Meditative & Mindfulness Benefits

Deep Meditation
- Many people who struggle with traditional meditation find it easier to achieve deep, meditative states in a float tank.
Mindfulness & Presence
- The stillness and silence help bring awareness to the body and breath, encouraging a deeper connection with the present moment.

🌀 Other Reported Benefits

Boosted Immune Function
Decreased blood pressure
Detoxification support
Improved skin (due to magnesium)

⚠️ Important Notes

Floatation therapy is not a replacement for medical treatment, but it can be an excellent complementary practice.
Not recommended for individuals with certain conditions (e.g., severe claustrophobia, open wounds, uncontrolled epilepsy) without medical consultation.
Flotation therapy and Elevate cannot diagnose, treat, or cure any diseases, or conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new wellness regimen.

Infrared Sauna

🌡️ Infrared Sauna Benefits

Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat your body directly, rather than heating the air around you like traditional saunas. This results in a deeper, more comfortable sweat at lower temperatures (typically 120–150°F).

1. Detoxification

Promotes sweating, which helps eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals through the skin.

2. Improved Circulation

Heat causes blood vessels to dilate, increasing circulation and oxygen flow—great for cardiovascular health and recovery.

3. Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief

Penetrating infrared heat helps loosen tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and ease joint or chronic pain (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia).

4. Weight Loss Support

Regular infrared sauna use may increase heart rate and metabolic activity, mimicking mild cardiovascular exercise.

5. Relaxation & Stress Relief

Heat calms the nervous system and stimulates the production of feel-good hormones like endorphins.

🔴 Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) Benefits

Medical-grade red light typically uses wavelengths in the 630–660nm range, while near-infrared (NIR) light is around 850nm. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and are absorbed by cells, enhancing cellular energy production (ATP).

1. Skin Rejuvenation

Promotes collagen and elastin production, improving skin tone, reducing wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.

2. Wound & Tissue Healing

Speeds up the healing of cuts, bruises, and skin irritations by stimulating cell regeneration and circulation.

3. Reduced Inflammation

Red light modulates inflammatory pathways, making it effective for sore joints, injuries, or chronic conditions.

4. Pain Management

Increases blood flow and reduces oxidative stress in tissues, helping relieve muscle and joint pain.

5. Improved Mood & Energy

Stimulates mitochondria to produce more ATP (cellular energy), which may help boost mood, reduce fatigue, and support cognitive function.

💡 Combined Benefits

When used together, infrared heat and red light therapy can:

Accelerate muscle recovery and healing
Deepen detoxification
Improve skin elasticity while opening pores (which may enhance red light absorption)
Provide a holistic, calming experience with both external and internal benefits

✅ Safe Use & Recommendations

Start with 10–20 minutes per session, depending on your tolerance.
Stay hydrated before and after.
Avoid use if you're pregnant, have certain cardiovascular conditions, or are sensitive to heat or light—consult your doctor first.

Cold Plunge

❄️ Benefits of Using a Cold Plunge

🧠 Mental & Emotional Benefits

1. Improved Mood & Mental Clarity

Cold exposure activates the sympathetic nervous system, releasing a rush of norepinephrine, dopamine, and endorphins—leading to elevated mood and sharper focus.

2. Stress Resilience

Regular cold exposure builds mental toughness by training the body to remain calm under stress. This translates to reduced anxiety and a better response to daily stressors.

3. Better Sleep

Cold plunges can calm the nervous system and reduce cortisol, often leading to deeper, more restorative sleep—especially when done in the evening.

💪 Physical Benefits

4. Reduced Inflammation & Muscle Soreness

Cold water constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and inflammation, which makes it excellent for post-workout recovery or injury support.

5. Improved Circulation

The cold causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), followed by vasodilation (expansion) once you're out—this improves blood flow and helps flush out metabolic waste.

6. Enhanced Immune Function

Regular cold exposure may stimulate the immune system by increasing white blood cell count and improving overall immune readiness.

7. Increased Metabolism & Brown Fat Activation

Cold exposure activates brown adipose tissue (brown fat), which burns calories to generate heat. This can support metabolic function and potentially assist with weight management.

🌬️ Nervous System & Hormonal Balance

8. Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System

Helps restore balance between the sympathetic ("fight or flight") and parasympathetic ("rest and digest") systems—especially beneficial for people with adrenal fatigue or burnout.

9. Hormone Regulation

Cold plunges may help balance cortisol, adrenaline, and other stress-related hormones, supporting hormonal stability over time.

🧘 Mind-Body Benefits

10. Improved Focus & Discipline

Cold plunging is a mental challenge—just stepping in requires willpower. Regular use builds discipline and mental grit, which carries over to other areas of life.

✅ How to Use Safely

Start small: 1–2 minutes at 55–60°F and gradually build up.
Limit sessions: 3–5 minutes is typical; no more than 10–12 minutes for most people.
Warm up after: Use gentle movement or warm clothing, not a hot shower, to slowly raise your body temperature.

❌ Not Recommended For

People with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or Raynaud's disease
Pregnant women
Anyone with health concerns without first talking to their doctor

⚠️ Important Notes

⚠️ Disclaimer: Cold plunge therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any illness or medical condition. Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning cold exposure, especially if you have cardiovascular conditions, Raynaud’s disease, or are pregnant.
