🌊 Did you know? Your HSA/FSA might cover your floatation therapy membership!

Float therapy has been used to help manage:
✨ Chronic pain & muscle recovery
✨ Anxiety & stress
✨ Insomnia & sleep issues
✨ PTSD symptoms

💡 Pro tip: Because floatation therapy is considered a “dual-purpose” expense (wellness and medical), most HSA/FSA plans require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your doctor to qualify for reimbursement. Ask your provider for one, save your receipts, and check with your HSA/FSA administrator before you book!

Turn your wellness routine into a tax-advantaged self-care ritual. 🛁💆‍♀️

A new study in Neuroscience of Consciousness followed 75 people with anxiety and depression through six float sessions.

The result: a distinct altered state the researchers named “aquahenosis”, oneness with water.

People described feeling boundless, weightless, and connected in ways that overlapped with experiences reported after psilocybin and ketamine, minus the visual effects.

The strongest results came from the group that floated longer and set their own schedule. And the feeling of expansiveness itself helped explain the lift in mood afterward.

“Floating feels like oneness.” This new study puts language and data behind something our clients have been saying for years.

Y’ALL! WE’RE IN THE BIG LEAGUES NOW! 🏈🔥

When an “actual NFL player” slides into our DMs asking for a float, you KNOW TrueREST Alexandria is doing something right! 😂💪

From the football field to the float pod — recovery just got REAL. 🧂🧘‍♂️🏆

We’re ready for you, Daejon! Get that body recovered, get that mind reset, and let the salt do the work. 😎

NFL CHECK CLEARS = FLOAT ON. 😂💰

Obviously, this is a parody/spoof post and not an actual endorsement or message.

The benefits of floating:

• stress reduction (lowers cortisol)

• significant pain relief (zero gravity can provide up to 100% pain relief)

• better sleep (by shifting us into the delta brainwave state and engaging our parasympathetic nervous system).

It’s a very profound reset button for our entire being – mind, body and soul.

We pride ourselves on setting the industry standard for health guidelines. Our float solution is filtered and sanitized 5x in entirety every hour, in between each appointment, with UV light, ozone, a 5 micron filter, and hospital grade hydrogen peroxide.

These Float Pods also contain 1,200 Ibs of Epsom Salt each, making for a salt solution that is nearly 100% sterile right from the start! There’s so much salt in each pod that if we added much more the water would actually start to crystallize.

And in all reality, if you compare to a hot tub, pool, or even the water you shower in at home, this is likely the cleanest water you’ve ever been in!

This feels like a reset button for my mind and body.

Another year and another journal 📔 filled with post-float impressions, reflections, thoughts, and musings by our floaters. To say we are incredibly grateful to our community of people who took a chance to invest in their wellness, to let go of their daily worries, even just for an hour, would be an understatement. Huge thank you to everyone who decided to leave with us a piece of their heart through their writing 💙

Did you know: floating while pregnant allows you to escape the added weight of pregnancy by taking the strain off the body and spine (and feet!). It promotes excellent sleep, a lovely sense of well being, and can help with all the aches and pains normally associated with pregnancy.

For many mothers, the environment creates a heightened sensitivity and connection with the baby, and some have reported a profound experience of “mirroring” from floating in a quiet, warm and secure environment while their baby does the same.

A womb within a womb.

1,200+ lbs of Epsom salt in every float pod. That’s what makes zero-gravity floating possible ✨

We dissolve pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulfate into the water until it’s about 10x saltier than the ocean — dense enough that your body floats effortlessly on the surface, no effort required.

The result? Total weightlessness, deep muscle recovery, and a reset for your nervous system, all in complete darkness and silence.

Ready to float? 🌊💙💕

“We now have data to show, in fact, this is a form of sensory enhancement. But of the internal world.”

Leading researcher Dr. Feinstein’s work focuses on people with PTSD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, and generalized anxiety. For those with anxiety disorders, learning to meditate can be challenging due to the relentless mental chatter. He said many of his patients experienced floating as an easier way to quiet the brain and arrive at the same relaxed state as dedicated meditators.

Research conducted at Karlstad University in Sweden has found that floating three times a week for four weeks significantly reduced symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, which include excessive worry, edginess, irritability, and an unrealistic view of problems, among other challenges. At a six-month follow-up, 37 percent of the treatment group was found to be at full remission.

This is The Science of Feeling Great.

Every review we receive means the world to us. 🤍

Hearing how a float changed your day, or your week, is exactly why we do this.

If True REST has been your place to rest, recover, or just breathe for a moment, we’d love to hear about it. Your words might be the reason someone else finally walks through our doors.
