Float Therapy

Float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation or flotation therapy, involves floating in a tank filled with water saturated with Epsom salt, allowing your body to float effortlessly on the surface. The tank removes external sensory stimulation, light, sound, and pressure, allowing the mind and body to fully decompress. Commonly used for stress relief, muscle recovery, chronic pain, anxiety, improved sleep, and mental clarity.

You can book a 60 or 90 minute float therapy session.

There are two types of float therapy pools so you can choose the one you are most comfortable in. There is an open air one that is like a giant bathtub or a pod that you can close the lid to feel tucked away.

I floated in the open-air room float therapy pool, and it was amazing. It took me a while to turn my brain off and just relax, but once that moment happened it was really calming.

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy uses low-level red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular energy production. It is non-invasive and painless. Commonly used for skin rejuvenation, inflammation reduction, muscle recovery, joint pain, and general wellness maintenance. Gulf Coast Wellness has a red light therapy bed for full-body sessions.

The red light therapy bed is amazing! It feels like an old school tanning bed but with red light. So relaxing! Next time I will bring a meditation app to listen to and really relax into the moment.

Vibration Plate Machine

Vibration Plate Machine

The vibration plate machine uses whole-body vibration to stimulate muscle contraction, improve circulation, and support recovery. Can be used for warm-up, cool-down, or standalone sessions. A quick and accessible recovery tool available at the spa.

Infrared Sauna

Infrared sauna sessions use infrared light to heat the body directly, rather than heating the air around you, the way a traditional sauna does. This allows for a deeper sweat at lower, more comfortable temperatures. Commonly used for detoxification, muscle recovery, circulation improvement, and relaxation.

Cold Plunge

Cold plunge immersion is one of the most popular recovery tools among athletes and wellness enthusiasts. Plunging into cold water triggers a physiological response that reduces inflammation, speeds muscle recovery, improves circulation, and can boost mood through the release of endorphins. Gulf Coast Wellness offers cold plunge sessions that can be used alone or combined with an infrared sauna for a contrast therapy session.

PEMF Therapy

PEMF - Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. Used for pain management, bone healing, improved sleep, and general recovery. A non-invasive option that can be used alone or alongside other services.

Hyperbaric Chamber

Hyperbaric chamber treatment involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, which increases the amount of oxygen your blood can carry. Used by athletes, post-surgery patients, and wellness-focused guests for accelerated recovery, reduced inflammation, and improved energy.

Foot Detox

Foot detox sessions use ionic foot bath technology to draw out impurities through the feet. A relaxing and accessible wellness option for guests who want a gentler introduction to the spa's recovery offerings.

Compression Therapy

Compression therapy uses pneumatic compression devices to improve circulation and reduce swelling, soreness, and fatigue in the limbs. Popular with runners, cyclists, and anyone who has spent a long day on their feet. A good add-on to a float or sauna session.
