FLOAT THERAPY<br />
Float your stresses away in the soothing relaxation of the<br />
latest treatment available from Lifestyle Physiotherapy.<br />
Float therapy is the latest addition to<br />
the range of services offered, alongside<br />
pre and post surgery rehabilitation,<br />
exercise prescription, soft tissue and joint<br />
mobilisation, manipulation and acupuncture.<br />
Physiotherapist and former Black Fern<br />
Teresa Te Tamaki says that while float therapy<br />
was once regarded as ‘hippy and alternative’,<br />
these days the health benefits are more<br />
widely recognised.<br />
“Floating, just like acupuncture and meditation,<br />
is now considered more mainstream.<br />
It’s something we absolutely recommend<br />
helping reduce stress and anxiety and support<br />
pain management and muscle recovery.”<br />
The addition of a Dreampod float therapy<br />
to Lifestyle Physiotherapy completes the<br />
range of services available, with a focus on<br />
complete health and wellbeing. From elite<br />
athletes to children, the business caters for<br />
a broad cross-section, with clinics in St Andrews<br />
and Ngaruawahia.<br />
“When you float there is no external stimuli<br />
such as light and noise that we are usually<br />
bombarded with throughout the day, so the<br />
sensory areas of the brain that normally process<br />
this information don’t need to work as<br />
hard, which results in the ultimate relaxation.<br />
“The sanitised water is maintained at body<br />
temperature and its high concentration of Epsom<br />
Salts allows you to float with no effort.”<br />
The float therapy is open for bookings<br />
this month and Teresa recommends float<br />
therapy for everyone from athletes to expectant<br />
mums.<br />
As a new mum herself, she says the float<br />
therapy can help relieve discomfort and the<br />
feeling of weightlessness is instantly relaxing.<br />
“It’s also of benefit to those in high stress<br />
jobs, or in chronic pain, and for athletes the<br />
high concentration of Epsom Salts (magnesium<br />
sulphate) helps with muscle recovery.<br />
There are also detox benefits and it improves<br />
circulation and rejuvenates the skin.”<br />
Advance bookings must be made and full<br />
instructions are provided. Lifestyle Physiotherapy’s<br />
float therapy will be open late to<br />
allow people to float after work.<br />
