We took our tired bods to City Cave Epping for what can only be described as the ultimate treat – a massage, infared sauna and salt float. Did it really happen..? It was so dreamy – talk about pure indulgence.
Here’s what they offer:
- Float Therapy: involves floating in water heated to match your body temperature with a high concentration of Epsom salt. This combination helps your body enter a deep state of relaxation, so your brain can enter a place of rest and repair.
- Infrared Sauna: use the same type of heat as the sun without the ultraviolet rays we know to be harmful. Instead of heating the air, infrared saunas use radiant heat to penetrate the body directly to help detoxify, relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Each treatment was as relaxing as the last, with the float tank being the biggest trip out of all – it’s so easy to float and your mind seems to float off too ;p. That must be what 400kg of Epsom salts can do for a person! Sweating it out in the infrared sauna was easier than expected, especially while envisioning all the good things it was doing. As for the massage – it was so relaxing and just the right pressure.
All the services can be done as a couple (how cute) but as a solo gig, it’s incredibly relaxing and revitalizing. Pick one all or or any combo of services, and if you love it buy a pack or become a member. It’s also a fantastic gift idea and perfect for the mums who can only sneak away at night as they close at 9pm.
The best part is you don’t bring ANYTHING. Not a towel, nor shampoo, conditioner, or face cream. It’s all supplied! You can bring swimmers if you really want to, but you don’t need either, to be honest (don’t worry all the doors lock)!
