Mother’s Day Floatation Gift Certificates from NeuroFitness
by Martin Miron
Located
on the west side of Ann Arbor, NeuroFitness Wellness Center is a modern-day
wellness center with four individual suites outfitted with float tanks,
showers, body wash and shampoo, heated towel racks and changing areas for
personal appointments.
Operations Manager Peg Kelley says, “Now more than ever,
as we all continue to face the global pandemic of COVID-19 and everything it
entails, reducing stress and enjoying an hour of total silence is every
mother’s dream. Even if moms can’t visit in person on their day, NeuroFitness
Wellness Center is offering a free floatation therapy experience gift
certificate for each one purchased through May 10 to celebrate them. The gift
certificates never expire.” First-time floaters receive 25 percent off and
additional offers (including Mother’s Day gift certificates) are available at NeuroFitCenter.com.
Other
services include cryotherapy, a salt room, and NeurOptimal Neurofeedback. Each
of these therapies is designed to reduce stress and enhance healing and
relaxation. Floating can help anyone feel better. For some, floatation therapy
provides the ultimate in relaxation and recovery; others turn to floating to boost
creativity and visualization; for everyone, floating offers a welcome rest from
the hustle and bustle of the modern-day world.
Float tank therapy, also known as reduced environmental
stimulus therapy or R.E.S.T., is also referred to as sensory deprivation, a
technique that has been scientifically proven to have a profoundly positive
impact on health and wellness. Float tanks feature a concentrated Epsom salt
solution that is more buoyant than the Dead Sea, which means a body will be
suspended in it and fully release all the tension it is holding. Patrons may
spend 60 minutes floating on their back in darkness and silence or opt for
music and mood lighting.
Stress
has a direct link to a number of chronic ailments such as high blood pressure,
heart disease, autoimmune disorders and diabetes. Cortisol, the
“fight-or-flight” hormone, floods the body during times of stress. Research has
found flotation therapy is an excellent tool for stress management, providing a
rare chance to get away from it all, including no phones, deadlines or Zoom
appointments—no stress.
In
addition to the quiet provided in the tank, the Epsom-infused saltwater
replenishes the body’s natural supply of magnesium, which helps to regulate
cortisol levels, allowing for more balanced hormone production. MIT researchers
found that magnesium plays a pivotal role in regulating brain receptors needed
for learning and memory function, and that supplementing with magnesium helps
clear brain fog.
One
of the most common causes of insomnia is stress. The deep relaxation of an
isolation float tank allows the nervous system to rest and re-set, which leads
to a better night’s sleep; the more you float, the deeper and more positive the
effects.
Epsom salt bath benefits include relief from sore muscles,
pain, and inflammation in joints, including symptoms of arthritis. Floating
weightless in 1,000 pounds of Epsom saltwater reduces the lactic acid levels in
the bloodstream, easing pain and inflammation. The profound rest and relaxation
cause the body to release endorphins—the body’s all-natural pain killers. The
health benefits of floatation therapy can last for days, weeks or even months
and additional floats only heighten the effects.
