He went on to explore more than just isolation tanks, including dolphin communication, and hallucinogenic drugs. Lilly was a part of a generation of counterculture scientists and thinkers that included Ram Dass, Werner Erhard and Timothy Leary. Lilly has been considered to be a fascinating figure and the archetypal embodiment of a brilliant yet mad scientist. His work later inspired Hollywood movies, including The Day of the Dolphin (1973) and Altered States (1980). https://www.thewellnessstudioingeelong.com/blog/why-you-are-not-crazy-for-going-cold monthly 0.5 2021-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612939783767-U60OPMFXEL0C06ZO0IF8/ice-bath-cold-therapy-blog-image Blog - Why you are NOT crazy for going cold! https://www.thewellnessstudioingeelong.com/blog/making-wellness-practical monthly 0.5 2021-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612925724511-JFHVEPF6LZPY2PP9R09N/AdobeStock_206760275.jpeg Blog - Making wellness practical Bright natural dining room nook with vases plates and fruits on the table. https://www.thewellnessstudioingeelong.com/blog/bring-wellness-into-your-workplace monthly 0.5 2021-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612936800543-KNDAVF3SL0DVNFVLCGF7/blog_workplace_wellness_graphic Blog - Bring wellness into your workplace - at home or the office.

The unique experience takes place in a spacious tank filled with 360 kilograms of Epsom salt, dissolved in 30 centimetres of skin temperature water (34.5°C). The float tank environment is designed to remove sources of discomfort and stress by depriving the senses of external stimulation, a process called ‘sensory deprivation.’ Studies have shown that to maximise floatation benefits, it must be experienced in isolation, so having the tank all to yourself is essential to let go and relax in peace. At our studio, we offer individual floatation, but we have multiple tanks available so you can still share the experience with someone. To experience the full potential that floatation offers, we recommend floating regularly, as the benefits will be cumulative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612761171896-GWBT4J984BPIHSTHP92T/website_images-47.jpg Floatation - Experience the benefits yourself! People utilise floatation to optimise their performance and heal fatigued and wounded bodies. Others gain a heightened sense of peace, self-awareness or creativity from the experience. Floating offers balance in people’s lives and an opportunity to unplug, decreasing life stresses and increasing focus and sense of well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612761307339-K696LSOPIE0W8V576HWZ/Website+Stock_10.JPG Floatation - Love the float tanks, such a great way to relax.

After a debilitating knee reconstruction, Rod searched for anything that could help ease the pain, get him back on the road to recovery and play footy again in the shortest amount of time possible. Not long after discovering floatation, Rod opened up his first floatation business in 1988. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1611191490396-F2C1TC2QEOZADZMR85RN/WEBSITE_ABOUT_US_PHOTO2.jpg About - BELMONT TODAY In 2015, after years of experience in the industry and hundreds of floats later, Rod decided to re-introduce the wonders of floatation to the Geelong community. Rod has always had an open mind and willingness to explore the benefits of natural therapies and is why our additional services developed to include salt therapy, infrared sauna, red light therapy, and ice baths. Rod’s mission is to make these ‘alternative’ therapies that he knows and trusts accessible to the community and encourages individuals to make a difference to their own wellbeing proactively. https://www.thewellnessstudioingeelong.com/therapies-infrared-sauna daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612764143778-LZITMRF1DQ61QXHOQRAZ/website_images-14.jpg Infrared Sauna - Enjoy a private sauna session to retreat, relax and achieve various health benefits.

Based on a recent surge in scientific research, we now know that Red Light can positively affect the body. The LED panels emit light in both RED and NEAR infrared range. Our skin and body tissues can absorb these photons to produce chemical reactions in the cells' mitochondria to boost energy and regeneration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612775061296-JK0S8Y7Q6ROAH6TS3EK3/RLT_shoot_20.JPG Red Light Therapy - When applied correctly, RLT can have an incredible impact on how you look, feel and perform! RLT is a non-invasive and natural treatment, and although it is a relatively new therapy, there are studies to support its efficacy particular with respect to short term pain relief and skin conditions and skin improvement. Numerous clinical studies have also shown no adverse side effects as a result of treatment. It has safely and effectively been used for various purposes by the likes of dermatologists, athletes and even NASA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612773552152-2QT0BWYDTH0EAU8BGJWX/website_images_red_lightjpg Red Light Therapy - How it works. Photobiomodulation panels work by producing 2 specific bands of light, one at 660nm (visible red light) and the other at 850nm (near-infrared light). The visible red light effectively penetrates the skin while the near-infrared light can travel into deeper tissues, organs and joints. The light helps the cells produce more adenosine triphosphate (energy). With this extra energy, the cells can respond better to damage and rejuvenate themselves. For effective RED and NEAR infrared light therapy treatments, a device should deliver at least 100mW/cm2 at the surface of the panel. Our Lights provide higher than 100mW/cm2 at the surface (approx 3000 watts in total) and maintains strong, effective irradiance beyond 18 inches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612775127042-KV6OQR0FHFQKIE0O87TI/RLT_shoot_19.JPG Red Light Therapy - What to expect. During the session - The sensation felt from the red light exposure is subtly warm and pleasant. While you're bathing in the light you can listen to music, meditate or read. The experience is very relaxing and non-invasive. We also provide glasses to protect your eyes from the intensity of the light. Results - As a result of consistent red light therapy exposure, the cells become healthier and perform better, increasing bone and ligament health, and healing in skin and muscle tissue. After multiple weeks of usage, you will see a difference in the health of your skin. You may notice qualities like appearing smoother, brighter and tighter. Your skin may appear to have more of an even complexion and an improvement in tone, clarity and texture. For pain management and recovery of deeper tissues, you may notice a reduction in pain and general improvement within 24 hours of initial treatment. For more chronic conditions, it may take multiple sessions before you notice an improvement. https://www.thewellnessstudioingeelong.com/therapies-salt-therapy daily 0.75 2023-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612762168137-RQF10EVBW9PVWDM8G8B0/wellness%2B30.jpg Salt Therapy - Salt therapy is a natural and non-invasive treatment that alleviates certain respiratory, skin and sinus conditions. A halogenerator is used to aerosolise pharmaceutical grade salt, which is then dispersed into a warm and inviting room. Breathing in the micro salt particles, opens up the airways, increases oxygen intake and cleanses the respiratory system of smoke, dust, pollutants and other allergens. Salt has natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antihistamine properties and is suitable for adults and children of all ages. We recommend a number of sessions in succession for relieving temporary ailments, whereas chronic conditions will experience greater results with regular sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612762496998-FDK8B5U0C9M5U3FWRWPY/website_images-05.jpg Salt Therapy - Salt therapy can help to alleviate symptoms of: Allergies Asthma COPD Snoring Sinus Infection Stress Ear Infections Sinusitis Bronchitis Colds Psoriasis Eczema Hay Fever Rhinitis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612762707614-UYMYPUYMYNSKCPY4OMKR/website_salt_room.jpg Salt Therapy - What to expect. A halogenerator is used to aerosolise and disperse pharmaceutical grade salt particles into a warm and inviting room during the session. The salt air will administer natural healing as it travels into the lungs to help relieve inflammation and loosen congestion. Within the 45 minutes session breathing can improve and become easier, as well that symptoms of irritation, wheezing and coughing can alleviate. You may use your phone or tablet throughout the session, read, listen to your own music, or even take a nap. For children’s entertainment, we recommend you bring toys for them to use. Our salt room is a shared space, and we ask kindly that you follow the studio guidelines. If you would like to socialise with a friend or a group in the salt room, please contact us to book in a private session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612763303011-8VXLLOBTKIYLGMLZFY87/website_salt_therapy.jpg Salt Therapy - “Thank you to the Wellness Studio for giving me a quality of life. I suffer from COPD and always had chest infections. When I first walked in, I had extreme shortness of breath and could not stop coughing. After the first couple of sessions, my breathing improved so much that my husband and I were able to go out to dinner at the RSL, something I had avoided before because of my continual coughing. I have been attending salt sessions for 18 months now, at first three times a week and now only two times a week. My airways have opened right up, the shortness of breath has completely gone, and I hardly cough at all during a session. My husband comes with me now, and we simply love it! It is just so relaxing, and Rod and his staff are so caring and friendly.”.

Our traditional sauna works by heating stones in an electric oven, the stones store and radiate that heat. Contrary to popular belief a Traditional Sauna is a dry heat, however, one may increase the relative humidity by pouring a small amount of water on the stones which leads to a subjective sense of the sauna becoming hotter. We maintain the sauna's temperature to between 75 and 90 °C. The use of saunas for stress relief, relaxation, and health promotion has been around for decades and adopted by many cultures. Exposing the body to passive heat causes an increase in the body's core temperature, which induces physiological responses that work together to restore and condition the body. Studies have shown that frequent sauna use can increase lifespan and improve overall health due to regular exposure to heat. The sauna is private and spacious enough to accommodate up to 1-3 people comfortably. As part of a session, you will have a total of 40 minutes allotted to use the sauna and take breaks as needed. The ice bath is also available to book and use during your session to go between the hot and cold. Although the sauna itself is private, you will be in a communal area to use the ice bath, so we recommend wearing bathers or light clothing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1624602760705-IMVR8NYH13TZ3MNSKOF7/Dry+Sauna+_1.jpg Traditional Sauna - How dry saunas compare to infrared saunas A traditional dry sauna and an infrared sauna both heat your body and produce the same thermoregulatory response. Still, there is a difference in the type of heat emitted, which will impact how you experience the session. When you sit in an infrared sauna, your body is warmed directly by the heat from the infrared rays, which will often produce a gradual and comfortable build. Infrared saunas also operate at a much lower temperature, usually between 55°C and 65°C, so you can stay in them longer than dry saunas. On the other hand, dry saunas heat the air around you and sit at temperatures between 75 to 90 °C. The heat produced in a dry sauna can often be felt more intensely and enjoyed for a short period. The average amount of time is 20 minutes but if you're new to this experience, start with 10- to 15-minute at a time and gradually work your way up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1624602635269-6LRDTOC1LQKVD2ZY8MZX/Dry+Sauna+_2.jpg Traditional Sauna - Melt into the moment… relax in the therapeutic heat and comfort of our spacious sauna. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff90acec1ead434c2191070/1612765600327-REO8DMI59WA158ECBITW/website_images-41.jpg Traditional Sauna - Add an Ice Bath to your session!
