but thank you all right Eugene it's the perfect Valentine's gift for someone who just needs to relax now imagine spending an hour floating your troubles away it's happening with float therapy here with more as ducks and Tola what true Russ float spa hello sir how you doing good thanks for having me but everybody's probably trying to figure out what the heck is float therapy so what it is what is therapy float therapy is meditation on training wheels you're floating effortlessly in a thousand pounds of magnesium sulfate better known as epsom salt in a zero-gravity sensory deprivation environment just 10 inches of water and you float all your troubles away so we see a person over there floating like this we're talking about that is Epsom salt full of that we're looking at that is a thousand pounds Epsom salt and only ten inches of water so you're floating effortlessly on the surface of that water not worrying about anything in the outside world so what are the benefits for a float therapy so the boats both physical and mental benefits the physical benefits of floating include things like relief from back pain neck pain joint pain fibromyalgia as well as the mental aspect so you're kind of checking out of the world stress relief anxiety relief recovery from mental illness PTSD those are all benefits of floating so well you're just sitting there floating all that stuff is kind of like kind of whisking away from your life if you talk about exactly you're just in your own meditative state they call it the theta wave brain state you're just on a meditative cloud not worrying about anything that's troubling you so how long do these sessions last every session lasts about 60 minutes so you're in there floating for 60 minutes and afterwards we hook you up to our oxygen bar for about 10 minutes okay now here's something what about the temperature of the waters we talk about cold water warm water it's actually gonna be right at body temperature which is ninety three point five degrees the reason for that is you don't want to actually feel the water at all you feel like you're floating on a cloud so I saw that it was almost enclosed too so here is a legitimate question is that anything about being cost or phobic that I have to worry about being in the float therapy so that's actually probably the number one question we get is people worried about claustrophobia there's actually nothing to worry about when you get there and see how big that pod is it's about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle with no tires on it so you get in there and even people that feel claustrophobic they get in there and they pull that roof right down and feel like they got plenty of space okay you mentioned all the different things about anxiety stress relief and some of the holistic got benefits who is a good candidate for float therapy really anybody we have customers as young as 13 we have college students we have professional athletes we have construction workers we have finance workers really anyone can benefit from floatation therapy anyone that has pain stress anxiety which we all do at some point in our lives or just want better sleep they're all great candidates for floatation therapy so does this also put your brain in a meditative state that is that what happens when you sitting there floating and the question is you're floating does the exercise just keep you afloat is that what it does the absolute saw is what keeps you buoyant on the water there's about a thousand pounds of it in there so just that salt to water ratio keeps you buoyant on the water and because you're in that sensory deprivation environment it brings you to the theta wave meditative state and that's what gets you into the deep sleep deep recovery and gives you all those great benefits now Valentine's Day is coming up and not this is a perfect gift why is this a perfect gift for Valentine's Day well roses and chocolates are always great gifts but we all know our Valentine's would actually benefit even more from an hour of pure relaxation that sounds good all right and this is not this is not too expensive either either right it's not we actually have a great buy one get one deal going on right now so it's two floats for $89 and it's really the best deal we offer all year so take advantage of it while you can and bring your loved one in for a Valentine's gift I know where you guys located we are in Plaza Midwood on picanha between 7th and central minutes I was like a great idea float therapy we're gonna see you in there soon you have to see me update uh Buffalo floral I appreciate giving us a ride to learn more and purchase a gift card visit true risk calm slash show that's true Russ calm slash Charlotte and float your troubles away indeed thank you for thanks again
