Floatation Center Brings Much Needed Rest to Chicagoland

Arlington Heights, IL (PRWEB) January 18, 2005 - Need a vacation -

but think you don?t have the time?


You can't get away for a relaxing vacation whenever you have a rough day ? or can you? Aguasal Floatation Center was born from the concept that you can recharge your batteries in a fraction of the time that going away on vacation requires. No matter the demands of your career, home life or recreational activities, you perform better when your body and mind is relaxed and rejuvenated. Decades of scientific research have shown that Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) can accomplish this mental relaxation and physical rejuvenation effectively and consistently.


Is this some new age fad?


When some people hear of floatation therapy, they assume it?s some new fad or rebirth of a 70?s phenomenon. But decades of scientific research have shown that using the float tank results in rapid elimination of hypertension and the stress hormone cortisol, which has recently been linked to lower metabolism and making weight management more difficult. Floating has been used as a powerful complement to therapies such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, sports rehab, massage therapy, stress management, pain management and more. Many people find they have increased feelings of self-confidence, and serenity as an additional benefit. Busy professionals use floatation therapy to reduce their sleep deficit. Many consider a one hour session to be equivalent to a full night of quality rest, making it a godsend to the many people struggling with insomnia. Aguasal was featured on the ABC 10 o'clock news because of the ability of floating to compensate for a sleep deficit.


A float tank is an enclosed tub, measuring 8 feet long by 5 feet wide. When you close the tank?s door, the float tank is lightproof and very quiet. Some people prefer to leave the door open, but many customers with claustrophobia claim that they're comfortable in the dark. The tank contains a dense solution of 1000 lbs. of dissolved Epsom salt mixed in UV-filtered and sterilized water. This mixture is more sterile than a swimming pool or hot tub, without harmful chlorine or bromine. The floating solution is 10 inches deep and 93.5°F (average skin temp.). The saltwater is so dense that you float like a cork, which means you can't flip over accidentally. Dozing off is perfectly safe. The sensation of weightlessness must be experienced to be fully appreciated.


Personal injury prompted opening of floatation center


After being faced with the possibility of back surgery, Aguasal co-founder Frank Rodriguez discovered floating, which allowed him to heal quickly and ended his constant bouts of sciatic pain from a pinched nerve in his lower back. Upon reviewing x-rays of the injury, Rodriguez?s chiropractor concludes that his dramatic recovery is a result of his regular float sessions. Rodriguez is proof that float therapy works.


Rodriguez is intent on sharing floatation with the Northern Illinois community and allowing others to benefit from this tremendous therapy. He, along with his fiancé, opened Aguasal Floatation Center in February 2005. Their website floatforhealth.com is considered by industry experts to be the most extensive online resource on the health benefits of floatation therapy. Aguasal made their second TV appearance in May when the Chicago TV show 190 North produced a segment on floatation.


Aguasal Floatation Center offers four private rooms where clients can experience weightlessness and all of the health benefits floatation brings to the body and mind. The Center is handicap accessible, and has been designed to cater to everyone from athletes to CEOs to physically disabled clients. Massage therapy will also be available to expand on the healing experience. After a float or massage, patrons can relax in the lounge and contemplate how they will explain such a unique experience to their friends.


Interviews for radio or television broadcast welcomed.
