Contrast Therapy
Our Fire & Ice experience combines the therapeutic benefits of heat exposure (sauna) with the invigorating effects of cold immersion (cold plunge). This deliberate alternation between hot and cold temperatures creates a powerful stimulus for your nervous system, circulatory system, and cellular function.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow
- Nervous system training and resilience
- Reduced inflammation and accelerated recovery
- Immune system support
- Metabolic boost and hormetic response

Infrared Sauna
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, our infrared saunas use infrared light to directly warm your body. This allows for a more comfortable experience at lower temperatures while still providing deep tissue penetration and therapeutic benefits.
Key Benefits:
- Detoxification through increased sweating
- Improved cardiovascular function
- Reduced inflammation and pain relief
- Enhanced skin health and appearance
- Stress reduction and relaxation

Salt Cave Experience
Our halotherapy salt cave creates a microclimate that mimics natural salt caves, with walls made of Himalayan salt and a halogenerator that disperses pharmaceutical-grade salt particles into the air. This creates a unique environment with therapeutic properties for respiratory and skin health.
Key Benefits:
- Improved respiratory function
- Relief from allergies and respiratory conditions
- Enhanced skin health
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Immune system support

Massage Therapy
Our newest offering at Float Forty One, massage therapy complements our existing modalities by providing targeted soft tissue manipulation to enhance recovery, reduce tension, and promote overall wellbeing. Our skilled therapists customize each session to address your specific needs and goals.
Key Benefits:
- Reduced muscle tension and pain
- Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
- Enhanced recovery from physical activity
- Decreased stress and anxiety
- Improved sleep quality and energy levels
Synergistic Effects:
When combined with our other modalities, massage therapy creates powerful synergistic effects:
- With Float Therapy: Massage before floating helps release physical tension, allowing for deeper relaxation during your float. Alternatively, floating first creates a receptive state for massage, enhancing its effectiveness.
- With Contrast Therapy: Massage after contrast therapy extends and enhances the circulatory benefits, while targeting specific areas that may need additional attention.
- With Infrared Sauna: The heat from infrared sauna softens tissues and increases circulation, making subsequent massage more effective at releasing deep tension.
