2. Pause Float Studio
Flotation therapy is an excellent choice for people recovering from injuries who want to combine the serotonin-releasing effects of deep relaxation with the musculoskeletal benefits of total body sensory deprivation. The high concentration of Epsom salt also provides an instant boost of magnesium (an essential mineral your body needs) to sore and inflamed joints and muscles, which can be beneficial in reducing inflammation and regulating nerve function.
Some benefits of flotation therapy include:
Reduced lactic levels in muscles
Increased ATP production
Regulation of stress hormones
Whole body detoxification
Improved sleep and concentration quality

Pause Float Studio offers a highly customizable float experience with individual float pods in private rooms, designed for the ultimate private getaway experience. Clients have a variety of versatile options to choose from to fully customize the experience: music on or off, dim light or complete darkness, and the tank door a little open or completely closed.

3. Infuse Wellness
To truly heal and reverse orthopedic injuries, patients must not only be diligent about doing the proper rehabilitative exercises, but also fueling their bodies with the right vitamins and minerals essential for recovery. Weak and damaged connective tissue require extra vitamins and minerals to heal properly, and the concentrated doses that vitamin drips offer are an absolutely supreme way of delivering the building blocks your body needs to recover faster.
Some benefits of vitamin IVs include:
Boosted energy and concentration
Accelerated recovery from orthopedic injuries
Increased immune function
Replenishes nutrient deficiencies
Anti-aging support

Especially for those recovering from injuries, my clients have seen amazing relief from increased mental clarity and better sleep to a lower inflammatory response during workouts.

4. Coast Cryo
Cryotherapy has become a staple of major pro athlete's recovery regimen - for a good reason. Various medical literature shows that by exposing the body to freezing cold temperatures for short bursts of time, cryotherapy can be used to quickly alleviate the inflammatory symptoms associated with acute and chronic injuries (all in just a few minutes). This means less downtime and more time spent living life.
Some benefits of cryotherapy include:
Increased blood circulation
Accelerated tissue oxygenation
Decreased inflammation in muscles and joints
Boosted energy, alertness and strength
Reduces arthritic pain
Why our clients love Coast Cryo:
Conveniently open 7 days a week, clients can go in for their immediate cool relief whenever nagging inflammation or injury symptoms start flaring up. Clients have noted that the cryotherapy experience is more of a "spa" experience, with immaculately kept facilities and a super easy booking system.

It is a well-established fact in the medical industry that your body cannot heal without an adequate supply of oxygen.
