Float Therapy and Infrared Sauna: Your Summer Secret for Recovery and Relaxation

 

Summer is here, and with it comes a wave of outdoor workouts, weekend hikes, pickup games, and more time on your feet. Whether you're training for a race, chasing your kids around the park, or just trying to enjoy the sunshine, your body needs recovery to keep up.

That’s where Float Therapy and the Infrared Sauna come in. These two services are a powerful duo for relieving pain, speeding up muscle recovery, and giving your mind and body the reset they need. And yes, even in hot weather, Infrared Sauna is still one of the best things you can do for your health.

Let’s break it down.

Why Summer Athletes Need Recovery More Than Ever

All that movement and sun is great for your mood and metabolism, but it also increases the demands on your body. Muscles tighten, joints ache, and heat stress can leave you feeling drained.

The problem? Most people wait until they’re in pain or burned out to take care of themselves.

The solution? Build recovery into your summer routine.

At East Coast Float Spa, our members know that regular recovery makes all the difference in how they feel, move, and sleep… even during the busiest months of the year.

Float Therapy: The Ultimate Reset for Summer Burnout

Imagine stepping into a Float Room, where your body becomes completely weightless in warm, magnesium-rich water from over 1000 pounds of Epsom salts. The world goes quiet, your mind slows down, and your muscles, joints, and back finally get a break.

Float Therapy supports:

  • Relief from joint and muscle tension

  • Mental clarity and reduced stress

  • Improved sleep and recovery from physical and mental exertion

Why it works in summer:

  • Floating helps regulate your nervous system after heat exposure and intense activity

  • The magnesium from Epsom salt supports muscle function and reduces soreness

  • It gives you a calming escape from the rush of summer

Pro Tip: Try Floating the day after a long hike, workout, or beach day to speed up muscle recovery and help your body bounce back faster.

Why Infrared Sauna Is Still a Smart Summer Move

We know what you might be thinking: Isn’t it already hot out?

Here’s the truth: Infrared heat is very different from just sitting outside.

  • Outdoor heat warms the air and surface of your skin, making you sweat but not deeply detoxify.

  • Infrared heat penetrates deeper into your body, promoting real detox, improved circulation, and cellular repair.

Infrared Sauna supports:

  • Reduced muscle inflammation

  • Increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to tired muscles

  • Endorphin release and mental relaxation

Why it works in summer:

  • Helps your body adapt to warm weather more efficiently

  • Triggers a healthy sweat without heat exhaustion or sunburn

  • Supports your body’s natural detox systems when they need it most

Pro Tip: Use the Infrared Sauna post-workout or after time in the sun to enhance your body’s recovery without adding extra strain.

The Key to Feeling Great Year-Round: Stay Consistent

Summer can throw your routine off, but that’s exactly why it’s the best time to lean into self-care. Consistent recovery keeps you moving, sleeping, and feeling better… no matter the season.

Float Therapy and Infrared Sauna work even better when used regularly.

  • Weekly or bi-weekly sessions help reduce cumulative stress

  • You’ll recover faster from both workouts and everyday life

  • Regular use can prevent injuries and boost energy all season
