| - I wish I could give more than five stars for True Rest Float Spa on S. Gilbert Rd in Chandler, AZ. Having Fibromyalgia, I am constantly trying to find pain relief. It was suggested to me to look into water therapy, but not many places offer warm water therapy. In my searching, I found out about Floating and how it helps ease pain. Coming down to Chandler, AZ on a personal retreat, True Rest Float Spa came up almost immediately when I searched the area for stress relief ideas on the web.
From making the appointment right up to the moment I walked out the door, the staff did everything they could to create a relaxing and stress-free atmosphere. They have a special first time floater price that is very reasonable. You do need to go in a half an hour before your appointment for a tour and to watch a video, but even all that is done in a relaxing way. I love the set up for the float rooms. It's very private with calming spa music. There is this wonderful rain shower to use both before and after your float; shampoo, body wash, and for the second shower, conditioner is all provided.
The Floating pod has just the right amount of water in it and at a comfortable temperature. With the top closed, it is still very roomy inside. It does get humid, but if that is bothersome you can use this little noodle to prop the lid open just a bit so to circulate in cooler air. Music plays for a short time in the beginning of the float, then stops. I highly suggest turning the lighting off in the pod and floating in the dark & silence. It is a surreal experience. But you can keep the light on if you want, even changing the color of the light. When it gets close to the session being over, the music will come back on. It's suggested that you stretch at that point and I found it to be really easy to move and stretch in the water. I was very relaxed after my float, but was told that floating more often would lead to being more energetic.
I wish that I wasn't just visiting so that I could get a membership and float again. They have several different plans and there are a bunch of ways to earn discounts and other perks. Speaking of perks - the Oxygen bar was amazing, too! After the float, you can go into the lounge area, which is where the Oxygen bar is. There is cool water or hot tea to drink and adult coloring books to sit back and just chill for a bit.
For those who have any sort of pain issues and live in the Chandler, AZ area (or just visiting, like myself), I highly suggest giving a Float a try. The owners and staff at True Rest Float Spa on S. Gilbert Rd will not just take good care of you, but they really honestly care about you. Helping each person find pain relief, or stress relief, or even just relax for a bit is what their goal is. You will not regret giving Floating a try, especially at this Float Spa! I know that I'm glad I did and, if I get to come down this way again, I'll jump at the chance to go here again!
