True REST® Float Spa
The Science of Feeling Great®
S
pas specializing in an emerging
technology known as REST®
(Reduced Environmental
Stimulation Therapy) are coming soon
to the South Hills and North Hills. The
flotation therapy pod in the spa is
specially designed to counteract the
harmful effects of stress from modern
life. To look at a float pod is like seeing
10 years into the future of relaxation
science. And yet, True REST® Float Spa has
six of them waiting for you in Wexford,
with eight more to be installed at the
Scott Township location in early 2019, all
specially designed for REST®.
A pod consists of a sleek, space-
age, clamshell design, holding 10
inches of skin-temperature water
that’s supersaturated with 1,000 lbs. of
Epsom salts. Your buoyancy in the water
makes floating on the water feel like
nothingness, allowing pure relaxation to
set in during each one-hour session.
“Modern society has created
a situation in which the
brain receives near-constant
stimulation,” says owner
Tonya Winkler. “Rarely does
our brain and body have the
opportunity to completely
relax and disconnect from
everything. As a result, physical
and mental health conditions
have become pervasive, with
over a quarter of the population
suffering from chronic pain,
anxiety, depression, and other ailments
exacerbated by stress. People engaged
in high-stress careers report an
increase in mental performance
after just one float. In the REST®
state, you can truly relax.”
She adds, “It’s like
rebooting a computer
but for your mind and
body. You may have
20 programs open and
you don’t even know
what’s bogging down
your computer. When
you reboot, it runs
faster, and that’s kind
of how your brain feels after a
float. Humans aren’t designed to
be constantly bombarded by the
stimulus we endure day in and
day out.”
Guests enjoy their float in a private
room complete with a shower, which is
used before and after floating. They can
choose to lower the upper lid or leave it
open. For those hesitant to reduce
all stimulus, they can also control the
lighting inside the pod and the audio
settings. They even have the option to
listen to their favorite music, audiobook
or podcast while they relax.
The experience has numerous mental
and physical benefits, many of which are
experienced for days after the float, and
some scientifically documented through
the Laureate Institute for Brain Research
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Visit TrueREST.com to
