True REST® Float Spa
The Science of Feeling Great®
S
pas, specializing in an emerging
technology known as REST®
(Reduced Environmental
Stimulation Therapy) are open in Wexford
and opening soon in Scott Township.
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, all specially designed
for REST®.
The pods consist 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 feel like nothingness, allowing
pure relaxation to set in during each
1‑hour session.
“Modern society has created
a situation in which the
brain receives near‑constant
stimulation. 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,” said
owner Tonya Winkler.
“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,” she explained.
Each guest enjoys their float in a
private room complete with a shower,
which is used before and after floating.
A guest can choose to lower the
upper lid or leave it open. For guests
hesitant to reduce all stimulus, they also
can control the lighting inside the pod
as well as the audio settings if they so
choose. 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
remain for days after the float, and some
scientifically documented through the
Laureate Institute for Brain Research in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Visit TrueREST.com to
